I began tutoring in March 2016, and since then, I’ve supported learners of all ages through one-on-one sessions, classroom settings, and small-group instruction.

Hi everyone! I’m a multilingual tutor with over 9 years of experience helping students gain confidence and fluency in French, English, and Portuguese. I began tutoring in March 2016, and since then, I’ve supported learners of all ages through one-on-one sessions, classroom settings, and small-group instruction. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Sanford-Brown College, and I’ve combined my creative background with my passion for language to support learners from diverse backgrounds and learning styles. I grew up in a bilingual household, and I draw on my lived experience in multilingual environments to make language learning both practical and culturally meaningful.

In addition to tutoring, I’ve worked in formal education settings. From 2018 to 2019, I taught French to K–8 students through Language Link’s after-school program in Seattle. From 2020 to 2022, I was an educational assistant at the French-American School of Puget Sound, where I also served as a group assistant and teacher assistant during summer camps. I supported students in the classroom, on the playground, and during enrichment activities, helping to foster a positive and engaging learning environment.

Today, I continue to tutor children and adults, including non-native English speakers. I tailor each session to the student’s needs—whether we’re working on grammar, homework, reading, or conversation. My teaching draws on a structured curriculum, with visual aids, cultural materials, and real-world context to keep learning dynamic and relevant. I believe in meeting students where they are and building confidence through patience, clarity, and consistent support. I’m here to help you or your child grow as a communicator, one session at a time. I look forward to meeting you, helping you gain confidence in learning a new language, and being part of your progress.

English

I’ve been tutoring since 2016, helping both native speakers and English language learners strengthen their reading, writing, grammar, and communication skills. I’ve worked with students across a wide range of ages—including middle school—focusing on building academic confidence and critical thinking. I tailor each lesson to the student’s goals, using structured materials, interactive exercises, and real-world examples to make learning both effective and engaging. Whether helping with homework, writing assignments, or general language support, I focus on clarity, patience, and steady progress.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I’ve been tutoring English since 2016, working with both children and adults whose first language is not English. My experience includes supporting young learners with reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and writing skills, as well as helping adults build fluency and confidence in conversation. I use visual aids, real-world examples, and a patient, learner-centered approach that adapts to each student’s pace and goals. I’ve also worked in bilingual environments and bring a strong understanding of how to support students navigating multiple languages.
French

French

I’ve been tutoring French since 2016 and have worked with both children and adults across a variety of learning settings. I taught French to K–8 students through Language Link’s after-school program in Seattle and later served as an educational assistant at the French-American School of Puget Sound, supporting students during the school year and summer camps. I also grew up bilingual and attended French bilingual schools from early childhood through high school. My teaching draws on a structured curriculum enriched with visual aids, cultural context, and practical conversation. Whether helping students with grammar, fluency, or homework, I tailor each lesson to their individual goals and learning style.
Portuguese

Portuguese

I’ve been tutoring Portuguese since May 2024, after several years of dedicated study and immersion. Since beginning my learning journey in 2019, I’ve developed fluent proficiency and a strong command of both conversational and formal language. I focus on building practical language skills—speaking, listening, vocabulary, and grammar—while also weaving in cultural context to make lessons engaging and relevant. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve fluency, I tailor each session to your individual goals and learning style.
