Since I am experienced in linguistics and languages, English specifically and have a bachelor’s degree in English linguistics and literature, a Master's degree in Linguistics and Translation of English, a CELTA and TEFL certificates for English teaching. I am pretty familiar with and know how to teach Common Core State Standards. I have taught online for 4 years and have over 8 years of in-class teaching experience, private tutoring, and coaching, with children of any age, teenagers, and adults, business people included. The teachers in my school district and I all use Total Physical Response(TPR) when applicable, I also use it copiously and whenever necessary in my online classes. I Always try to stay updated with the latest cognitive theories, teaching strategies, and techniques and to obtain new certificates and specialization to improve my Educational Career further and further, to become a better teacher every day!

I am also knowledgeable of Customer service and I've dealt with clients on the phone and by email in English, Spanish and Italian for two years for Getty Images.

I am experienced, thanks to my online teaching job, in dealing with Chinese students and I am passionate about their culture more and more every day. I had the chance to learn about the different cities, habits, and food specialties of each province and I still have to learn more from my students, younger ones, and older ones. I also have a selling position in my actual company which consists in providing a great learning experience to a new potential student, delivering the class with enthusiasm, using communicative tools and body language as well as TPR. In the case of potential younger new students, children and teenagers, I am also responsible for explaining their parents the progress, strengths, and areas of improvement of the child. I always try to deliver an interesting, educational and funny class, considering all the three elements with equal importance in order to guarantee the student's growth in the English language fields as well as on the emotional side, trying to support them and guide them in correcting their own mistakes, learning from them and to increase proficiency and self-esteem.

I am currently teaching in Secondary school and online to children and adults.

Regarding the requirements regarding the number of hours per week along with the peak times. This fits in well with my schedule since I am used to online teaching. Fortunately, I have a quiet section of my house where I can teach from and have various props and a whiteboard to use during the lessons.
