Hi there!
My name is Arlene. I was born in Puerto Rico. I am fluent in Spanish and English and I am learning Portuguese. I have a bachelor’s degree in science, a master’s degree in public communication, and a 25-year fulfilling career in recruitment, international programs, and communication.
I enjoy simplicity, nature, and activities that help me stay more present in my body such as qigong and somatic meditation. My favorite book is The Alchemist.
Me as a Teacher
I WILL OFFER you practical tools so that you feel less nervous about your accent and more focused on what you have to offer. My accent did not stop me from having a 25-year fulfilling career in recruitment, international programs and communication.
Mi intention is to create a safe space for learning. I love using my personal and professional experience to support you in:
* preparing for a successful job interview
* practicing your current skills for personal growth
* editing your documents
* improving your public speaking skills
* preparing for the U.S. Naturalization Test
My lessons & teaching style
For language lessons, I welcome students from all levels. However, for interviews, I prefer students that can communicate at least at an upper intermidiate level. I am flexible and I adapt the sessions based on your feedback. I create a space for you to practice your conversational and/or writing skills. I suggest pausing regularly, so that I can provide you with feedback and so that you can integrate what you are learning. The topics for discussion will be based on those areas that are most relevant to you.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to schedule a trial session so that you can determine if I am the right tutor for you. Take care!
I had to schedule an "urgent lesson" because I had a job interview on Sunday night (the company's headquarter is located on the other side of the planet). The idea was to take the dust off my spoken English and to prepare myself a little bit for the video meeting.
Arlene helped me a lot! She pointed out what I could improve (things beyond the language itself) and even in a short lesson I felt so much more confident to face the challenge a few hours later.
The interview went fine and I was able to move to the next round. :) Thank you very much, Arlene!
