Review by Mallorie
"Georgina is awesome! She is very kind and welcoming. I was clueless about how to go about learning Spanish because it is not my first language, but she ma
de things simple and easy. She fits her teaching curriculum towards your needs and your level. I will be working in the medical field, and she taught me terms and phrases relevant to my career. As soon as I free up more time to focus on Spanish, I will definitely be getting more lessons from her! So nice!"

About Jimmy
My name is Jimmy. I have been teaching Spanish for about five years now. I have taught all ages from kindergarten to adults.
As a current teacher, my primary goal is to make sure the students have engaging and fun experiences while learning Spanish. I do not lecture solely on the nuts and bolts of the language but rather allow the student to perform the language in order to learn it.
I do want to make clear that I do teach young children (ages 2-12) but I prefer to teach them in person and at least twice a week. I believe the experience to be more valuable that way.
Additionally, I ask that you and I talk for a while before signing up for lessons with me. I may not be able the person to give you what you need. I want to be sure your needs are met through Take Lessons and I may not be the person that can do that. So, please mess

About Britta
My name is Britta, and I love piano and teaching! Music has brought great joy to my life, and it all started with the piano. I am eager to share that joy and power with you.
I started playing piano before I can remember and began lessons at age 5. I studied under my phenomenal teacher in Minnesota until I moved away when I was 18. I continued playing duets and quartets at her studio anytime I was back in Minnesota. I spent a few years living abroad and at college in Chicago. I taught first graders for a year at LEARN Excel Charter School in Chicago. Now I’ve relocated to Round Lake Beach, where I have a beautiful 80-year-old baby grand piano and a peaceful in-home studio.
When it comes to music, I think it's important to stay relaxed, push yourself, and have fun. Learning to play an instrument like the piano can be a very rich and

About Rose
Hello! My name is Rose. I began teaching over 7 years ago at international ESL schools in China and Europe. To give you an idea of how lessons work; in the first class, I figure out your interests and formulate lesson plans around them. I'll find out your learner type and further personalize your lessons so that you learn efficiently and enjoy each class. Usually, we work on short stories or article on a topic of your interest, vocab, grammar, audio, and phrases. I always try get students to speak for most of the class and provide grammar homework according to your available time
I've used many methods and have practiced military courses for language acquisition as well as experimental approaches. I have 8 different approaches for learners of a specific type and need.

About Kaylene
I am a personal French teacher and tutor for students ranging in age currently from 4-47. My method is to make it as fun and relaxing as possible so students can learn with ease.
I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I've led student trips to France, Quebec, England and have visited Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. My travel bucket list is long and I hope I get to see all of them.
I graduated from the University of Dayton in 2002 with a BA in French and continued on to graduate school for International relations. I started teaching at a public school after graduating and stayed there for 5 years. I then had the opportunity to manage a foreign language school that taught French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Mandarin. After 6 years there I branched out on my own to have more personalized lessons.

About Matthew
I have a degree in teaching and was an award winning high school instructor in the Chicago Public Schools for 7 years, have also taught college undergraduates including current instruction at the University of Chicago, so in addition to knowing my subject matter I am an expert teacher. Thus, I know how to adapt to the unique learning modalities of my students, and have a treasure trove of myriad teaching techniques from which to draw upon in order to achieve as many "aha" moments as possible. This is a rare competency among tutors, who are often experts in their subject matter only. I have two years of Hebrew training in rabbinic school and coursework in Biblical Hebrew at the University of Chicago Divinity School, as well as ongoing yeshiva studies.
