    About Stacia O.

    Welcome! I’m Stacia- I have loved illuminating light on the topic of essential life skills. My classroom has expanded to diverse learners from over 30 countries. I was born in Pennsylvania, studied Speech Pathology and American Sign Language for some time in North Carolina, and completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Event Management from the University of Central Florida. Alongside working for Disney, my distinctive professional experiences include leading event operations; communicating through digital content; teaching and tutoring learners from pre-K to graduate school, and creating instructional curricula. I even had the extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate my leadership skills at 40,000 feet in the sky as an International Flight Attendant. To add to my "jack of trades", I'm a voice actor! I hold certifications in TESL, TESOL, and TEFL; and teach English as a second language to students abroad. I am a certified, 1-on-1 tutor in the following subject areas: Audition Prep; College Application and Essay Assistance; Elementary, Middle, and High School Reading and English; Resume Writing; and Study, Test Prep, and Organization Skills. Engagement and encouragement are the top principles I utilize in my teaching approach. I promote active listening, participation, and enthusiasm while advocating for learners’ critical thinking.
