Bio
Greetings! I'm Dr. Yolanda, and I look forward to working with you and having a great time learning together! We will collaborate to increase your knowledge and skills in your selected subject area(s). I have been serving as a tutor since I was a student in high school. Throughout college and my career, I have continued to serve as a tutor because I truly enjoy working with students to become confident learners. I believe it is important to assist students with building and increasing their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. These two skills will carry students very far in becoming confident and successful academically and socially. Foundational to a successful tutoring relationship is the building of mutual trust and respect. A little about me, I LOVE traveling, AND this year I visited my 54th country! I've lived in eight countries outside of the U.S., and I enjoy visiting museums, attending concerts, learning about different cultures, and trying international foods.
