Hello! My name is Christa, and I am a Spanish and English World language teacher with a Bachelor degree in Spanish, a certificate in Elementary Education, and TEFL certification. I have over nine years of experience teaching students of all ages, from young children to adults, in a variety of settings, including classrooms, small groups, one-on-one sessions, and both in-person and online. I also spent three years living in Spain, where I taught English in public schools and deepened my understanding of language learning and cultural connection. For the last 2 years I have been working at a international baccalaureate middle school teaching Spanish and previous to that I worked at a High School also teaching Spanish.
My teaching approach focuses on helping students communicate with confidence. I prioritize speaking and listening so learners can understand and use the language in real-life situations, while incorporating reading and writing to support and reinforce their progress. I create engaging, interactive lessons and tailor them to the student's goals, level and style of learning.
What I love most about tutoring is the ability to truly personalize the learning experience. I work closely with each student to build their skills, confidence, and motivation, whether they are learning for school, travel, work, or personal growth. My goal is to create a supportive and enjoyable environment where students feel comfortable, challenged, and successful.
