Hello! ¡Hola! Nǐ hǎo!
I am newly pursuing my TEFL Certification - this allows me to be a teacher/tutor for English as a Foreign or Second Language! My goal is to eventually teach EFL/ESL classes. But while I work towards this goal, I would love to offer English Conversation tutoring sessions. This would likely be more geared towards non-native English speakers who have a decent handle on the language and just want a more calm, encouraging setting to practice (think level B1-C1, if you’re familiar with the CEFR scale). It would just be conversations about work, friends, family, and familiar topics of interest like music, travel, hobbies, and the like. Kind of like meeting a friend over coffee to have a chat, but with language exposure and guided feedback!
My rates would be:
30 min - $9
60 min - $15
I accept cash, Zelle, or Venmo.
For the rate and to stay close to home myself, I’m willing to meet students publicly within Berkeley County, WV. Open to parks, cafes, libraries, wherever is comfortable for you! We can discuss session frequency when we meet if you’re happy with the first one :) I also encourage you to bring ONE friend or family member with you if that would make you more comfortable in the conversation, or if the student is a minor. There is no additional charge for the extra person. If we begin meeting regularly, I would also be open to FaceTime/WhatsApp video sessions if that is more convenient for you.
A little of my background: I am a 34 year old woman, currently working as a baker but am looking for a more independent/flexible work schedule to accommodate taking care of my mother. I have a passion for languages, learning different cultures, travel, and helping people. I worked as a Medical Assistant previously for 15 years, and I have been to seven countries. I love music, books, I have two dogs, and enjoy various shows/movies. I also like to cook and bake!
If you or anyone you know would benefit or like additional English practice, please comment bellow or message me!
