Native English Speaker (American) offering English Language Tutoring

Hello Students! My name is Ciara. I am a native speaker from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I have a Bachelor's degree in French and Psychology from Pennsylvania State University. I have experience in tutoring children and adults both one-on-one and in small groups. I am currently an English Language Assistant at two elementary schools in Tours, France.

I can provide tutoring to children, teenagers, and adults. I am happy to help with English speaking, pronunciation, reading, listening, writing and grammar. My goal is to create a positive language learning environment for the students that I tutor. I can tailor the tutoring to the needs, age and language ability of the student.

During the first session, we can discuss the student's goals and what he or she would like to focus on and improve. I can either provide learning tools or offer assistance with English homework that the student has received from his or her teacher at school. I am very flexible and can adapt to the needs of each student.

I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. I look forward to hearing from you and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

About Me

Hello! I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. Pittsburgh is the home of many sports team [the Steelers (football), Pirates (baseball) and Penguins (hockey)] and also Heinz Ketchup! I graduated this year from Pennsylvania State University with an honors degree in French Language and Psychology with a focus on Child Psychology. I am currently living in France as an English Language Assistant. I have a passion for traveling and exploring other cultures. My favorite place that I have visited is India! I have studied and lived abroad in Quebec, Montréal and Paris. I will live in France for one year. During my year in France, I would like to learn more about French daily life and explore regions in France that I have never visited.

When I am not working or studying, I enjoy photography, running, reading, skiing and spending time with my friends and family.

I have an intermediate level of French so I can communicate with students in French when necessary but the majority of my tutoring interactions will take place in English.

Brigitte
Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private
I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns. I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France. While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes. In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used. In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

I'm a native English speaker, having grown up and gone to school in England for the majority of my life. Currently I am at flight school in Tours to become an airline pilot, in my free time I would love to help you improve your English speaking! Learning English and all of its grammar in a classroom is one thing, but the best way to improve and gain confidence is through practice, and more specifically, speaking! I will help you improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills, primarily through discussions and conversations, but also through other proactive exercises. If you have any questions or would like to prepare for something specific; such as a speaking exam or a presentation, please do contact me!
