As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts from Coe College, I bring over 5 years of experience in teaching and tutoring a diverse range of subjects, including English, French and Italian. My teaching philosophy emphasizes a communicative and student-centered approach, where I encourage learners to embrace mistakes as essential steps in their language acquisition journey. I have taught English as a second language in challenging environments, which has reinforced my commitment to fostering both academic and personal success in my students. I am particularly passionate about connecting language learning to real-life contexts, making the process engaging and relevant. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy exploring the arts and cultures associated with the languages I teach, enriching my lessons and inspiring my students to appreciate the beauty of language.
