Learn English & Spanish with Michelle!

Hello!
My name is Michelle, I am a native English & Spanish speaker currently living in Ecuador.
I am a very enthusiastic and active person. I have a good ability to motivate learners and encourage them. I have never believed in the word impossible, be assured that we can easily acquire any foreign language as long as we focus on our goals and work hard with strong will according to clear and well-prepared plans. Keep in mind that professionals were just beginners when they started but they worked hard on themselves and their goals :)

Teaching is not just a job for me, it's a great message that I'm able to deliver perfectly. What I enjoy most is helping others and supporting them towards their goals. I'm also a french student, so I understand both sides of the learning process.

I'm friendly, flexible and patient. I like reading, singing, cooking, and meeting people and their cultures. You can always ask me any questions if you'd like to know anything else about me.

If you are in one of the categories listed below, we will make a great team:

- Students who study English/Spanish in school and wish to speak it confidently and fluently.
- Students who study for Proficiency exams.
- Travelers/Immigrants who are wishing to perfect/start their conversational skills in English/Spanish.
- Non-English speakers that are surrounded by English or Spanish speaking communities and wish to understand and communicate with them.
- Businessmen/women in the management field that wish to efficiently communicate their intentions for business.
- Employees who work at companies that have business with English/Spanish companies.

As Brian Tracy said, "Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life." So, if you're ready to learn this skill, I am here and completely ready to assist you.

Qualifications & Experience:

Certificate of Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) - May 2020 (updated)
Bachelor's in Management/Hospitality Major
I am a freelance English & Spanish teacher.
I am a freelance translator (English to Spanish & vice versa).

Teaching Approach:

- I customize my teaching approach according to my student's needs and goals.
- I provide well-structured lessons and well-organized classes with specific goals to be achieved.
- I support my students and help them practice the language and grammar in a wide range of situations, developing the four main language skills (writing, speaking, listening, and reading) and vocabulary in order to enable them to communicate effectively.
- I use free textbooks and learning materials (audios, videos, whiteboard, songs, pictures, games and flashcards).
- I always have an interest to introduce my students to some aspects of American & Ecuadorian culture & background.
- English and Spanish are Latin-based languages (Romance), they are very straight-forward, but beautiful and unique. If you wish to learn them, it's good to not only practice but to feel their particularities. I will help you learn how to think and express yourself in these languages properly.

I am ready to be your tutor and work together towards your goals. It will be an honor to be your tutor :)
