Caroline

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a graduate of Elon University (2017), where I received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a minor in Psychology. After graduation, I moved to Madrid, Spain to work as an ESL Teaching Assistant. I spent 3 years in Madrid working at two different schools with students from all different backgrounds and of all ages (4-17). My main responsibilities were creating and implementing engaging cultural activities and fun games aimed to improve my students' listening and communication abilities. I was also a private tutor during my 3 years in Madrid helping Spanish children with English homework and reinforcing their listening comprehension, English grammar understanding and general speaking skills in a fun and exciting way. I also have 2 years of experience working with the China-based company Magic Ears as a TESOL certified instructor, during which I have taught over 1,000 online classes to Chinese students in a 1 to 4 teacher-student ratio setting. I have a true passion for helping foreign students not only improve their English skills but also build confidence and genuinely enjoy speaking the language!In June of 2020, I completed a Master of Arts in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language in Madrid. I also have a DELE Spanish certification (C1 level) and a strong passion for Spanish tutoring. My teaching methods are strongly catered to the learning style, goals and interests of each individual student. Based on my years of experience teaching both Spanish and Chinese students in person and online, I have mastered the ability to be flexible, patient and creative when it comes to teaching and implementing appropriate material. I love to incorporate fun conversation questions, games and activities throughout my lessons in order to maintain an active and engaging environment at all times. I also enjoy using physical props, pictures and videos as wonderful examples of the material at hand so that my students have a clear understanding of the topic. Given that I have always loved working with children, it is very important to me to form a strong personal connection with each individual student so that they feel as confident as possible learning, speaking and practicing English and Spanish with me.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, traveling and spending quality time with family and friends. I am a very outgoing, organized and motivated person who is always striving to share my passion for languages with students all around the world!

In my career as a resource room teacher I have created a warm, positive environment in my classroom where my students feel welcomed and are encouraged to learn new things. The best reward as a teacher is seeing the difference you can make in the life of a student who has special learning needs. When you can make learning new concepts a fun and attainable goal for your students, that is the best feeling!My biggest success with my group of students over the last few years has been in the area of language arts. Through my training in Wilson Just Words and Fundations, I have taught non-readers how to use word attack skills, and multi-sensory tools in order to read and write. Watching the progress of my students in this area has been the most amazing experience!

British Literature Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am a full-time teacher and part-time college student. Currently, I am working towards a degree in English and an ESL certification. I have always been fascinated by the English language, especially the linguistic aspect. I have been working in education for four years. My speciality is early learning intervention. I feel it is important to foster a love for learning in each person, no matter how niche of a subject appeals to them. For example, if I have a student who loves animals, I will be sure to tailor my lessons to include them in some form. Each student is unique and needs their own form of curriculum.

Kristina

College English Tutor • +20 Subjects

As a third grade ICT teacher for the Nest Program (children with Autism), I completely understand the importance of collaboration with other teachers and students. After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Boston University, I continued my academic career at Adelphi University to receive a Master's Degree in Childhood Education. Now, I will be completing my 8th year as a teacher for the Department of Education.Since I am always interested trying new things and challenging myself, I recently began rock climbing. I love the mental and physical challenges of different activities and exercising. Traveling and exploring the world is another great love of mine. I have been lucky to have many wonderful memories experiencing different cultures, people and land. Sharing my travels and thousands of photographs with my family and students is humbling and exciting for me. In addition, I look forward to taking pottery classes with my mother to continue exploring things I enjoy and taking time to center myself. As a new mother, I can understand how necessary it is to take care of yourself so that you can bring your best to those in your life.I look forward to working with all students with all different needs!
