FROM MEXICAN FOLK ARTISTS TO WRITING LAB
I began tutoring during COVID-19, helping my cousin excel in creative writing despite limited resources. My guidance boosted her skills and confidence to the extent that her teachers noted her improvement and inquired about her tutoring.
I then moved on to volunteering with Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art (FOFA), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Oaxaca’s folk art traditions by supporting young Oaxacan artists. I tutored them in English, empowering them to communicate more effectively with American buyers, strengthening their identity, and preserving ancestral art techniques.
Both experiences enriched my ability to support others in their learning journey and bridge language barriers.
Example Student Tutoring
As a FOFA tutor, I helped Oaxacan artists work on their English in order to enhance their communications with American buyers. In this video, there are samples of my teaching styles, including role playing interactions with customers, pronunciation practice, and my student’s thoughts on his classes.

Coming soon! I’m still building my resume pieces 🙂 I hope you’re enjoying my website so far, and I’m looking forward to the next opportunity that I can share with all of you. Stay tuned! Feel free to reach out to me with any comments or questions! I’d love to hear any feedback you may have.
Writing Lab Tutor
My English teacher, Ms. Avvakumovits, nominated me to be a Writing Lab Tutor. My role involves tutoring across all stages of the writing process, including prewriting, drafting, and idea feedback. We tutors must be committed, supportive, patient, enthusiastic, compassionate, and skilled writers to help other students learn, succeed, and grow from the experience.
