I am in my 9th full year of teaching ESL. I taught three years abroad (in Italy) at private language centers and in the public school system, and since 2018 I have been teaching English at an international student centers in and around Boston. Currently, I teach four days a week at a private school for adult immigrants, and to supplement this, I offer private online and in-person tutoring. I have extensive experience teaching ESL students from Colombia, Brazil, Japan, China, India, Russia, Europe and Africa.
With over 5,000 hours of classroom, online, and private one-on-one ESL experience under my belt, I bring a unique teaching approach to students - as I have a deep understanding of the struggles of learning a new language. I focus on the student's needs, and employ a balance of conversation with grammar and phonetics. I use a mixture of materials, technology, games and activities to build fluency and confidence.
I received my Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (CTEFL) from Via Lingua, Florence, Italy in the summer of 2016. In the spring 2021, I received my provisional Massachusetts's Teacher License (K-12) through the state's Dept. of Education. I teach children, teens, and adults in both individual and group settings.
I am ready and excited to help you achieve your English language goals!
