I am a native English speaker with 10+ years experience teaching ESL to students of all ages and backgrounds through an international language school. I worked as an English instructor at Berlitz Language Centers and have been trained in the Berlitz method which concentrates on speaking and oral comprehension. I conducted both private and semi-private lessons which focus on grammar and usage, pronunciation, conversational skills, reading skills, and writing skills. In 2014, I was named Instructor of the Year by Berlitz of Garden City, NY for my dedication and excellence in teaching. I look forward to helping my students become confident, comfortable English speakers.

Knowledgeable, patient, and accomodating

Christine has helped my 7th grade son with his French studies. Whenever he is struggling with concepts, expressions, and/or comprehension, she helps him via customized lessons. She has helped clarify subjects for him so he is able to achieve a greater understanding and increased confidence. He feels very comfortable communicating with her about anything he has struggled with in class so she can help him in a specific and meaningful way. In addition, she has been very accommodating with scheduling. It has been extremely beneficial to him, and I highly recommend her.

Excellent French tutor

Christine is an amazing tutor. She tutored my son last school year in 9th grade and she was so wonderful, she will be tutoring him this school year as well as my younger son who just started French in middle school. She’s punctual, prepared and patient!

A warm and attentive tutor

Our first session with Christine was really excellent! My 8th grader liked her right away and found her to be very kind and engaging. She came super prepared for the session, even came with a hand out on verb conjugation for my daughter to use as a guide when doing her homework. She has a deep understanding of languages and a clear love for teaching. Very glad to have found her!

Excellent Grammar Tutor

Christine is very knowledgeable with grammar. I have been working with her for the past few months to take an exam and my knowledge for grammar has improved tremendously. Very easy and explains things throughly. Anyone who is looking to improve grammar for an exam whether it be SAT, ACT, GRE or in my case NYSTCE ATAS exam i would recommend her!

Thankful

Christine has been extremely accommodating in all aspects of my tutoring sessions. Her patience has been a welcoming factor when it comes to my tackling French lessons at 58 years old. I appreciate her assistance and incredible knowledge.
