Leah

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Ithaca College with a B.A. in Spanish. Since graduation, I have taught English in Alcazar de San Juan and Madrid, Spain for four years. There, I taught adults, primary school aged students and adolescents. I am really fond of learning languages and I am most passionate about tutoring Spanish and ESL. I enjoy preparing creative lesson plans, teaching the Jolly phonics phonetic system to primary school students, evaluating and assessing students’ progress and preparing students for the Trinity, Starters, Movers, Flyers, KET and First Certificate Cambridge exams. As a native English speaker, I know exactly how I would like to be taught Spanish and design a variety of activities based on what the student desires. I am a firm believer in education and enjoy sharing this appreciation with others. I am accustomed to working with people from many different backgrounds and eagerly modify my teaching to meet the need of each individual. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the cinema, singing, acting, reading and learning languages.
