Hi, my name is Maricela www.*** I am 16 years old and a proud student at Danbury High School. I am an early graduate (which means I am graduating as a junior). My goal is to touch the minds of many students.
My favorite subject is Math which means every lesson will be introduced with lots of preparation. I tutor in all levels of math from Beginner to High School (Geometry and Algebra l & ll. The pace of each lesson is tailored to each individual student. I believe that to properly learn, you have to work at your own pace.
I am 100% Hispanic. My mother was born in Guatemala and my father was born in El Salvador. My first language ever spoken was Spanish and I learned English quickly after. I tutor in Spanish for all ages. If you are interested, I will tutor you! Because of my ethnic background, each lesson presented will have a touch of traditional values tied in.
I volunteer once a week at a daycare and have gained much experience along the way. I love children and babies of all shapes and sizes. I do not discriminate on race, gender or special needs. All children are amazing.
If the prices are an issue, contact me and I will see what I can do. All prices are negotiable! I don't want money to be the barrier of knowledge or a night out.
I look forward to working with you!

Growing up in the public school system, I realized its greatest fault is an apathy towards learning. Instructors merely teach towards a test, students are judged only by their ability to score high on exams. While it is a tutor's main goal to bring those scores up, I hope to create a learning environment in which students genuinely enjoy the material and become actively curious about the subjects they are exposed to. Whether it's biology, chemistry, math, or writing, I aim to not only teach my students, but to engage them and lead them to an ongoing interst in their fields of study.
