About Me

Welcome!! Students come to me for different reasons and continue progressing for months- even years. You are not just getting a CELTA certified tutor with 5+ years of experience- you will make a friend in the United States. I find that my students are engaged, comfortable, smiling, and happy to tell or ask me anything! You will try grammar. You will get homework. And you will laugh and connect in your target language!! Whether it's for your education, career, exploring the world, or romance....Let's get started.

SPANISH
Para mí, aprender o perfeccionar un idioma no se trata de hablarla perfectamente. Se trata de comprender con éxito a los demás y expresar tus ideas. ¡Es solo la mejor forma para formar conexiones valiosas con la gente, y una herramienta para alcanzar sus metas!

ITALIAN
Secondo me, imparare o perfezionare una lingua non richiede parlarla perfetti. Si tratta di capire con successo gli altri ed esprimere le tue idee. È il modo migliore per formare connessioni preziose con gli altri, e uno strumento per raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi!

PORTUGUESE
Bem-vindo/a!! Os alunos vêm a mim por diferentes motivos e continuam progredindo por meses ou até anos. Você não está apenas conseguindo uma tutora certificada pela CELTA com mais de 5 anos de experiência - você fará um amigo nos Estados Unidos. Acho que meus alunos estão interessados, confortáveis, sorridentes e felizes para contar ou perguntar qualquer coisa! Você tentará gramática. Você receberá lição de casa. E você vai rir e se conectar no seu idioma desejada!! Seja para sua educação, carreira, exploração do mundo ou romance....Vamos começar.

MY METHOD
I use 3 teaching methods in my classes: Communicative Language Teaching which focuses on common conversations you will encounter, Task-Based Learning which allows you to execute typical tasks in English, and the Direct Method which promotes speaking naturally with minimal focus on grammar. In class you will speak freely for 40 minutes, possibly do an activity, and review areas to learn or strengthen at the end of class.
