Language Lessons in Silver Spring, MD. It's your time.

I have taught ESL classes both face-to-face and online for many years in Asia and the USA. Most of my students have been adult learners, but about 30% of my students have been children. I an intent on helping the student feel comfortable with me and with the language and giving them plenty of practice.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish as a foreign language, Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and I am a native speaker. I have more than 3 years of experience teaching students language both as a tutor and a classroom teacher. I want to provide you with a supportive environment where you can learn and reach your potential just like I have done in the past with former students. I believe this is crucial in order for learning to happen.

I use techniques that are researched based as well as techniques I used to learn my languages. As a language learner myself, I understand how challenging it can be to learn a new language! Let's work hard together to improve!

As a child, I lived in Montreal, Canada and attended a French public school. When I moved here, I continued my French education in middle school and high school, eventually pursuing it as a second degree in college.

I have experience tutoring all ages in French, and am willing to work with you through any questions you have. I have specific knowledge on differences between Quebec (French Canadian) and France French language, accents and grammar. My French experience also includes studying abroad at l'Université de Pau in Pau, France, and living in the French quarters of a language immersion program for 3 years.

I also have 2 years of experience teaching group French classes to adults in a classroom setting, ranging from beginner to intermediate levels.

I will teach you how to write speak and pronounce every word. I am patient and you can comfortably ask as many question as you want.

Hi.

I would love to help you with improving your accent.
English is my native language. I believe in the power of simplicity and story telling. Perhaps we can embrace this in our lessons.
I hope to hear from you.

I've been teaching ESL to adults for 12 years, both in face to face and on-line formats. As a former ESL student myself, I empathize with the struggle and frustration that comes when learning to communicate in a whole different language. I have accumulated several tips and strategies to facilitate practice and accelerate learning and fluency. I design my lessons to meet the goals of each student and strive to make the class fun and memorable. Let's work together to improve your written a/o spoken English!
