Hello/Hola/Bonjour!My name is Marielle and I am a working professional that is looking to help students with their studies and improve their grades. I have been working for over 8 years now, but have worked with children since I was 13 years of age. I started with baby-sitting and then during high school I worked at my local public library where there were children's bi-lingual classes and activities I coordinated. During college, I was president of the Latino student organization. I studied and lived abroad in France where I became fluent. After graduating college, I continued to participate in the community activities for children and after school study sessions in the nearby middle or high schools. Since moving back to New York, I have participated in local events, city charity events for kids. Mnay colleagues suggested I look into this website in hopes of helping students while hoping to continue speaking my languages. I am fluent in Spanish as well, my parents are from Ecuador, but I am born and raised here in the United States. I enjoy helping people, most importantly students. I am creative with helping kids remember and learn words, phrases and speak different languages. My teaching ranges from flash cards to analogies and everyday technology such as computers, websites and interactive games. I have a 16 year old sister and have been able to help her with school studies even though I live hundred of miles away. I think having her helps me and I am familiar with the challenges today and different ways to communicate to kids. I look forward to working with any students to help and learn.
