Miranda scaled
Miranda
Hola! My name is Miranda and I am currently a student at the University of California, Berkeley. I am majoring in Public Health and aspire to be a Physician's Assistant. I am proudly the first generation of my family to attend college. Spanish is my first language; my parents have always spoken to me in Spanish (and still do!). They have always emphasized the importance of preserving my native tongue, culture, and heritage. Due to this, I have been able to connect to my family and community on a deeper level, learning to love and appreciate my people and culture. I want others to be able to learn more and appreciate the beautiful language I grew up speaking. During the pandemic, I recall my aunt tutoring me in the finer points of reading and writing in Spanish and am now excited and privileged that I get to pay it back and do so for others. From a young age, my peers have always leaned on me and asked me for help. I like to approach my students with a calm and understanding lens, emphasizing learning instead of rushing through topics. I really want my students to enjoy what they are learning! In my free time, I like to go on late night drives, cafe-hop, color, and spend time with my family and friends. Oh! And I love matcha and need to have my daily fix. 🍵 Subjects: Spanish

My passion for tutoring extended into my school life where I served as both a tutor and teacher's assistant. I firmly stand by the principle "If you can't teach it, you don't know it." This mantra guides my tutoring process, ensuring that my students not only grasp their classwork, but are also equipped to become mentors and teachers to their peers. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, I moved to California at the age of 8. Outside of academics, I am an avid cricket fan, table tennis player, cat lover, and gamer. If there's one thing you should know about me it's that I love eating and trying out new cuisines- my current favorite is a toss up between Somali and Japanese.

Robel
Robel
Hello! My name is Robel and I'm currently a student at Pomona College studying Math and Religious Studies. I've loved math since I heard Yakko's multiplication song in "Animaniacs." When I was younger, I thought math was simply memorization. I learned quickly that math is a language—a rigorous study of patterns that helps us understand the natural world. Even if you never use certain formulas again, you build critical thinking skills that shape how you observe the world in everything you do. My call to teaching comes from my older brother, who taught me the value of being patient and adaptive. He inspired me to carry this same dedication to others. I love seeing the transformation in others in hopes of building them into the mentors of the next generation. Outside of academics, I love to run, play basketball, and talk with friends. I love eating all kinds of foods (except avocados...) and playing random melodies with my flute! Subjects: Prealgebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus (to BC), Mandarin Chinese (to AP), Chemistry (to AP)
