Language Lessons in Marydel, DE. It's your time.

Hello Estudiante!

My name is Leonardo, I am a native speaker from South America. I when to school here in the US for business management. While being a student I discovered my passion and ability to teach. I was a TA for Math and Spanish. I love working with all types of students, from basic to advance, I am sure I will be very helpful to assure your learning success. Since 2011 I have been a private tutor. Now I am taking this opportunity to bring you an amazing Spanish lesson at your most convenient time. Looking forward to teaching you Spanish my Futuro Estudiante.

I was born in China and finished my ninth grade there. The school is quite prestigious in terms of academic level. I then finished high school in the United States and earned my Bachelor Degree in Chemistry and Violin Performance at Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio. My fluency in both languages will make learning Mandarin much easier and more fun.

I create individual plan each lesson, with a clear aim, and detailed structure. Student can be sure that by the end of the lesson he/she will achieve the set goal.

I've been teaching American Sign Language for 5 years, and signing myself for 18 years, and my students have gone on to develop a love for ASL, Deaf people, and Deaf culture. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to carry on a simple conversation in the language, and as time goes on you'll be able to feel totally at ease with Deaf people. I have great online tools you can use for free to practice between lessons, and I'm flexible with any other resources we use. I can't wait to meet you!

What sets me apart from other ESL teachers is that I'm a polyglot (Spanish, Portuguese, French) and I have taught English abroad. This allows me to have a better understanding of other cultures. I have also had the opportunity to help professionals from different disciplines such as doctors, lawyers, managers, architects, and even other teachers. I have also worked with companies such as Toyota, Motorola, and Brown Forman. I could describe my methodology as adaptive and interactive at the same time. This means that I can customize my lessons according to the individual learning needs of each student. Furthermore, I like to get creative with the student's interaction process by playing with the energy, changing the focus, changing the stimulus, or altering the form of delivery. I strongly support the theory that learning occurs best in an active rather than a passive environment.

I have a background in writing, which has allowed me to master English.
