Laura B.

Private tutor in North York, Canada

Education

I have a Bachelor of Education Degree/Honors in English as a Second Language. I am currently completing my BEd at York University.

Experience

I offer personalized private Spanish lessons in your house or office, oriented in working on specific language areas based on your needs. I'm comfortable working with students of all ages on basic, intermediate, or advanced communicative Spanish, Spanish for business, Spanish for travelling, Hispanic Literature introduction, and Spanish for children. I have ten years of experience in classroom settings and lesson planning in a Hispanic country. I am fluent in English and Spanish with a strong knowledge of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. As the learning process advances, you will feel more confident about interacting in a wide range of everyday contexts. I can help younger students with vocabulary using flashcards, or dive deep into simulated immersion for adults who want to increase their fluency. I also tutor ESL (English as a second language) of all ages and elementary school English and Maths up to grade 5. I have vast experience working with toddlers and children. I am very dynamic, and I prepare my own instructional material. Looking forward to hearing from you!
