Maren: Oshawa tutor
Certified Tutor
I am passionate educator currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics at Brigham Young University. I have over 2 years of experience teaching English as a Second Language to various levels of adult learners. In my lessons I emphasize patience and teaching to the needs of my students. I make sure to be observant of where they are in their learning journey and plan accordingly with my lesson plans. I believe in creating a supportive environment where students can engage with the material and each other, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. My experience includes volunteering in community English classes and teaching basic English to refugees, where I focus on foundational skills through repetition and practical application. Additionally, I have a strong background in digital design and art, which I integrate into my teaching to inspire creativity. Ultimately, my goal is to empower students to achieve their language learning objectives and build confidence in their abilities.

My primary interest is the study of languages and teaching languages. I have been volunteering teaching refugees for about 3 months now. I have an advanced fluency in Spanish which I learned through school, self teaching, a study abroad in Mexico, and serving church mission in California focusing on helping Spanish speakers there. In addition to language learning I am passionate about art in various mediums from creating pieces with pencils, markers, to 2D digital design or animation, and 3D modeling and animation. I have taken multiple college classes regarding these subjects and received an associate degree in Digital Design.
