Hello! My name is Yuri, and I am an experienced ESL and Spanish educator with over 20 years in the field of education. I am certified K–12 and have taught students at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners, including AP-level courses. In addition to my classroom experience, I currently serve as a Supervisor of ESL and World Languages, where I support curriculum development, teacher training, and language acquisition programs. I hold a Master’s degree in Foreign Language Education and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration and Supervision from Rutgers University, and I am currently a Doctoral Candidate. My background allows me to not only teach language skills effectively, but also to deeply understand how students learn and what they need to succeed.
My approach to tutoring is student-centered, supportive, and highly personalized. I believe that every learner progresses at their own pace, especially in language learning, and I work to create a comfortable, encouraging environment where students feel confident taking risks and growing. Whether you are looking to build foundational skills, improve conversational fluency, prepare for exams, or strengthen academic performance, I tailor each session to meet your specific goals. I incorporate practical strategies, real-world application, and clear explanations to make learning meaningful and engaging. I offer flexible evening and weekend sessions and am committed to helping each student build both skill and confidence in ESL or Spanish.
