About
Hi! I'm Bettina and I was born and raised in Brazil until coming to the United States six years ago. I am currently attending Claremont Mckenna College where I am dual majoring in International Relati... ons and Literature.
I have been tutoring far before any formal guidance to do so– In high school, I'd revise my classmates' essays: anything ranging from English papers to their college admissions essays. I am also a tennis coach, and will never forget the joy that is watching students grow and thrive under the techniques I was able to teach them.
I understand that reading and writing is not for everyone, but I have been taught in quite an unorthodox way. My passion stems from teachers that have encouraged to look at Literature and writing from all aspects of the world, be it music, art, and even sports. Under their guidance, I am inspired to move forward and build confidence in these subjects in a way that works for each individual student.read more
