About
Hi! I’m Em, and I'm a sophomore at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain. I have always been a very passionate student as I understand the value of education (and at the expense of sounding lik... e an even bigger nerd, I really do love to learn). My philosophy in tutoring is to work with the specific learning style of each student to explain concepts in a way that is as accessible as possible.
Outside of the classroom setting, I enjoy running, hiking, sewing, and going to the gym. I also love spending time with friends and family, including my little brother and sister. At college, I especially love hiking in the nearby Pyrenees (a major perk to going to school in northern Spain). I also tutor classmates and other university students in a variety of subjects. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people, and I look forward to continuing tutoring on LessonPal.read more
