Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 14. Oct 2019
Hi! I´m Marissa. I was born in Oregon, and moved to Mexico when I was 11 years old. I´m fluent in both English and Spanish and have been teaching both languages for over 15 years. Learning Spanish at a young age has helped me understand the struggles (and the rewards that come with it) of learning a new language. I love traveling, books, movies, food, and getting to know each culture’s uniqueness.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Teaching has been such a fulfilling experience; for me, learning is a two way street. Every student I’ve had has taught me something different and has helped me grow as a person. I think everyone learns at their own pace, this is why I like getting to know my students in order to tailor my lessons to a style and speed that’s best for them.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Learning a new language can be difficult and scary in a way. I try to create a comfortable environment for my students and establish a fun and relaxed scenario. In my experience, I find that talking to people is the best way to loosen up and just embrace the language instead of focusing on our mistakes. We’ll focus on the areas you feel you need help with and practice from there!
Another phenomenal lesson from an exceptional teacher. Marissa is not only keen at reinforcing existing knowledge, but she's also quite astute at recognizing weak points and helping to develop new knowledge. After today's lesson, I feel incredibly empowered and I also feel like I have much more control over a Spanish subject I have historically struggled to learn 💪🏽 Keep up the good work!

The lessons with Marissa are always a great time. For several reasons: On the one hand, she is an excellent teacher who responds to her students, gives good feedback, and promotes language comprehension. On the other hand, she is also a clever woman who is interested in many topics and brings in interesting points of view. I can only recommend language lessons with Marissa!
