Personal Description:

I learned how to be an effective English tutor by teaching at a small, private high school where I had small enough classes to identify each student's individual learning strengths and weaknesses. That allowed me to tailor lessons to each student's learning style. I also appreciate how tutoring allows me to develop a personal relationship with students so I can find texts that are relevant to their lives.

Tutoring Experience:

I earned my bachelor's degree in French and International Relations. Since then, I have spent the past 14 years teaching students around the world. I have taught English Literature and mentored students as we traveled abroad. I enjoy tutoring because working one-on-one helps me adapt my teaching to meet the needs and interests of each student.

Tutoring Approach:

I think it's important to have fun with education. I enjoy relating the information I am imparting back to my student's life so I can make it relevant and meaningful to them. I first get to know my students and their learning needs and goals. I learn what challenges them and what motivates them so I can arrange lessons accordingly.
