Kayla
Certified Tutor
Ciao a tutti! As a trilingual speaker of English, Italian, and Spanish I understand what it is like when you need to learn another language and want to feel like you can speak it as if it is your mother tongue.
I focus on conversational skills. It's important to learn how to converse and feel comfortable in the language you are learning. Grammar is indeed very important but knowing everyday expressions and phrases in the language you want to learn is just as important. My goal is for my students to be able to speak fluently and freely without having to constantly think about conjugating verbs.
Whether your goal is to improve in order to ace your current class or to learn skills for an upcoming trip out of the country don't hesitate to contact me! We can go over your goals and create a plan to help you achieve them.
