About Me
italki teacher since Aug 28, 2018InterestsTravel
Hello! My name is Marisa. I am a native English-speaker from the Unites States who is conversationally fluent in Spanish. I have also studied many other languages like French, German, and American Sign Language.
I have had a passion for language learning my whole life. Through studying other languages myself, I understand the challenges that a language learner has and can use this knowledge to help you learn English! I know just how frustrating it can be trying to use the trickier parts of a language, and how rewarding it is when you finally are able to converse with others.Me as a Teacher
When I was at university, I studied International Relations and French and Spanish. After graduating, I spent a year in the Dominican Republic teaching English to students of all ages. I worked primarily with students in elementary and middle school and with adult learners as well.
The following year I worked in the English Language Institute of a local university. I worked as an informal Spanish/English translator and advisor for international students who were studying English in the US.
Working with students from around the world is such a joy because there is so much we can learn from and share with each other!My lessons & teaching style
Because of my extensive experience working with non-native speakers, I am a very patient and encouraging tutor. I want to work with you to meet your goals. I will help you assess your level and get to know who you are. I find conversational practice to be one of the most effective ways of improving. I want to hear about what is most important to you, and together we will design a program that will make you successful. I can't wait to meet you and start this journey together!My teaching material

It was our first class, so I introduced myself by talking about who I am, why and how I'm learning English and so forth. I felt Marisa radiated warm and comfortable atmosphere so that I could feel confident while speaking. Thank you and talk to you soon.

It was a wonderful lesson! Marisa sent me an interesting article before the lesson and she built our conversation around this topic. During the lesson she was correcting my mistakes and gave me some advice how to improve my English skills. I'm grateful for the lesson!
