I currently work as an English as a Second Language instructor for Preply, an online tutoring site for people of all ages looking to improve their language skills. I have 4 students that I teach individually. I have created individualized curriculums for each student based on their goals and language abilities. My teaching career began at a young age as a pre-school dance teacher where I worked at many different studios as I completed high-school and college. After graduating college, I was employed as an art teacher at The Boys & Girls Club of America, an after school program designed to supplement education where the public school system cannot provide programs. While there, I learned classroom management skills and the importance of forming connections with your students.
In 2015, I moved to New York and became the Program Manager for a teen program at Rennert International, a language school that makes up part of Wall Street Languages. In this position, I worked with over 150 teenagers all from different countries. These students’ main goal in participating in the program was to improve their english and prepare for college. I assisted them in all aspects of this goal; living in the dorms with them, ensuring all school work was completed, and booking tickets to cultural events. I learned an insurmountable amount in working with students from different countries and would love to continue working in an environment that allows me to teach english and share my love of languages.
Having lived abroad in France, I can easily adapt to new environments. I enjoy immersing myself fully in the language, traditions, and lifestyles of new cultures. In my free time I love cooking, taking yoga classes, and exploring new places. After living in New York for 5 years and working with people of all ages in different teaching capacities, I am ready for a new challenge and would love to speak more about a position.
