Fabiola

Certified Tutor

As a child, one of my favorite games was to pretend to be a teacher. I never thought that what started as a game was going to become my current profession. I was born in Peru and I lived there until I graduated from college. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. After graduation, I moved to United States and started working as a teacher assistant in a middle school. After one semester working, I was offered a position to teach Spanish. Even thought I was hesitant about accepting the position, I knew that the opportunity was offered to me for a reason; therefore, I decided to take the position. Seven years later, I am still teaching and learning from this beautiful profession. During my seven years of experience, I attended Fayetteville State University where I obtained my Spanish teaching license. I have taught Spanish in middle school and early college. During this time, I also had the opportunity to tutor English as a second language (ESL) and Biology. I am currently working on one of the best early colleges in North Carolina, we were honored to receive a blue ribbon award last year. I am also pursuing a second Bachelor's degree focused in Biology. I feel that the double role I have as a teacher and student, allows me to stay grounded and remember what is it like to be a student. My teaching style adapts to my student's goals, and their previous knowledge. I like to implement teaching activities where students can put in practice what they have learned, therefore, a holistic and scenario-based approach is where I notice more growth when learning a language. During my spare time, I like to dance, watch movies, cook, find new things to learn, and spend time with friends and family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better.
