Hello! My name is Estella Angelie Barran but feel free to call me E. My pronouns are she/ her and I am in my senior year at Rutgers University. I am a double major in English and Sociology as well as ... in the Urban Teaching Education Program. This program within my university is preparing me with the skills I need to be a Bilingual English Teacher. I love learning languages as a hobby so I chose my career path based on the two things I love most: Language and Education. My tutoring philosophy is similar to my philosophy of education, "Culture and Language are the foundation for every lesson in my classroom". As a student myself, I understand how difficult it can be to commit to learning something that seems irrelevant. As a tutor, I will be able to lay out the lessons you are having a hard time with and pick apart why it is important and which are the potential approaches we can take to tackling it. With my support, you will build the skills to be able to make these analysis on your own and be able to tackle them completely independently. I want to see you grow and as a tutor, I don't want you to rely on me. I think that's what makes me "me".read more
