American English Teacher for Hispanohablantes; English Teacher in Madrid, Spain I am from Dallas, Texas, where I currently reside until I go back to Spain to continue teaching English. I studied history at the Catholic University of America. My drive to pass knowledge to others, along with my interest in languages, culture, and history, led me to become a community tutor on italki. While, being Hispanic, I work well with hispanohablantes, I am comfortable teaching English learners from any background. I worked as an English teacher for first, second, and third graders in Madrid during the 2023-2024 school year and earned my TEFL. I will also work in Spain in the coming school year. I worked as an essay tutor at my university. My teaching style is flexible depending on the student's goals and level. If the student has limited vocabulary and phonetics, we might work on reading passages from books or basic conversations (e.g. "Tell me about your weekend"). Higher-level students have more freedom in how they want the lesson to play out. With these students, I typically just talk about any topic that interests them. I like to maintain a casual environment during lessons-- students shouldn't feel they have to dress up or feel stressed out about a lesson.
