Interactive Private English Lessons with Native Speaker

My goal is to help students enjoy the process of learning English and become confident with listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I have experience teaching students (ages 5-12) in Boston and Barcelona and I use fun and interactive exercises.

Depending on age/level, different techniques can be used. Each lesson is dependent on the student's needs and can be adapted to his/her strengths and weaknesses, the current topics/level taught in school, and the rate at which the student learns.

:: Conversation - role playing exercises to practice common phrases and expressions
:: Vocabulary - use multiple approaches to improve memory retention (notecards, games)
:: Writing - grammar, sentence structure, etc.
:: Reading and pronunciation
:: Help with homework, test preparation, proof-reading academic papers

About Me

I am enthusiastic and patient, an avid reader and enjoy cooking. I recently left my corporate job as a product manager and am transitioning to a career in the not-for-profit sector focusing on girls' education and human rights in the developing world.

I was born in London and have since lived in Argentina, America, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. With a Cuban-American mother and Dutch father, I deeply value growing up in a multi-lingual/cultural household and enjoy practicing languages as often as possible. As a language-learner myself, I have experienced various ways of learning and absorbing new material and I use this knowledge in my own lessons. My aim is to make the process fun, effective and encouraging.

Alongside previous tutoring jobs, I also have extensive experience working with children (ages 5-18) as a Head Swim coach. I managed a staff of 4 coaches and a team of 150 swimmers.

Kathleen has tutored our son now twice on English and Math. She has a structured program and our son seems very receptive to it. He has enjoyed both sessions and looks forward to next ones. Given his resistance to homework this is a great thing!

My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities. Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more. For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Carmen
English, mathematics and general school support from Primary to High School
Using my experience as a student, I first teach the vocabulary that will later be memorized through different exercises, both written and oral. This is how grammar will also be implemented. We will try to liven up the classes with short videos and songs from time to time, as I think they are a good tool to improve oral comprehension. If parents prefer to focus on general school support, we will work on the most difficult subjects, trying to give some time to each one, in a pedagogical and calm way.
