Shawn K.
Private tutor in Cheney, WA
Education
I received my B.A. in the Spanish Language, with minors in Linguistics and Humanities, in 2015 at Eastern Washington University. I graduated summa cum laude, with a final GPA of 3.9. During my education I focused particularly on the grammar of Spanish, including how it has changed over time as well as similarities and differences with English.
Experience
I tutored students from the athletic department to get their Spanish grades up so they could stay in their programs. It was quite a lot of fun, and I can't wait to do it again. There is something really fulfilling about seeing someone light up when they suddenly understand something. I can almost hear their minds go "click!" If I can help others learn, and along the way improve my experience as an educator, then I will be more than happy.

Hobbies
Part of what makes me a good tutor is that I have a passion for learning even when I'm not in class. I spend a lot of my free time reading, writing, and studying the many topics that interest me, especially languages and the humanities. I have a particular soft spot for world religions. My friends tease me sometimes because I'll inadvertently start teaching them about something and they didn't even ask me to. I guess it's just in my nature!
