Experience
I have tutored English (speaking, reading comprehension, and writing skills) to international/ESL students and students with learning disabilities at Seneca College for one year. I was a Learning Skills Tutor (time management, reading comprehension, writing, note taking skills) for students with learning disabilities at York University for one year. I am certified by the College Reading and Learning Association for the International Tutor Training Program Certification Level 1. This certification was obtained at York University in 2016. I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator and have been teaching as an ECE for 5 years. I am a meticulous planner and this has greatly contributed to my success in completing my university degree in only 3 years. I am a patient and understanding person with experience in teaching primary level students, ESL students, and college and university level students with and without learning disabilities.

Hobbies
I am an avid reader of fiction and biographies, as well as the occasional published academic journal, with a particular interest in papers pertaining to psychology, linguistics, and education. I firmly believe that hard work, determination, and perseverance will lead to success, but a bit of fun and humour will certainly make that road a lot easier!
