"My passion for teaching prompted me to go back to school to obtain my Masters in Foreign Language Education from NYU. As a result, I have also been teaching French on a part-time basis in a NYC high school.

" First of all, congratulations for taking a big step in furthering your child's education – one-on-one tutoring is one of the most effective ways to improve academic achievement and confidence. Above all else, a good teacher shines light where there was otherwise darkness. Sometimes, a student simply cannot see how to connect theory and practice, sometimes, they don't realize how good they are at something, until someone else points it out. As a full-time classroom teacher, I am passionate about teaching, dedicated to nurturing students so they may reach their full potential. One message I always like to relay with my students: stay ...

"I have been tutoring since high school in Spanish, English and Language Arts. My mother is a Spanish teacher, so I've been speaking it for most of my life. I love to make Spanish a fun and accessible skill for students while also explaining difficult grammar concepts in a way that clicks for them. I lived in Madrid for a year and have been able to travel to several other Spanish-speaking countries, and I hope to encourage a love of language as a means of connecting to other cultures."

"A great tutor customizes instruction for the particular needs of the student. One must quickly diagnose the main areas the student needs to improve, so as not to waste time. A great tutor can see outside the box and be flexible enough to explain the same concept in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the student. A tutor must be more personable with the student than a classroom teacher, who to a certain degree, must hide behind a teaching persona."

"I obtained my bachelor degree in English from South China Normal University. During that time, I used to work as an ESL teaching assistant for non-English speaking students in my school. As a language student myself who has studied English intensively for more than 10 years, my experience tells me that it is important to “speak out” while you are learning a new language. Therefore, I highly encouraged my students to open their mouths and speak English during each training session."
