    Mandarin conversation, voabulary and grammar practice

    I am a fluent mandarin speaker so this class has the aim to practice conversation and also help with grammar and vocabulary in the process. This class can also be tailored towards helping with homework and tutoring that the student might need help with. My goal is to help the student gain confidence and practice their language abilities so they can take their skills outside of the class.

    About Me

    Hello, my name is Ruby. I am from the United States, but I am currently teaching English at a k-8 school in Madrid, Spain. I began learning languages from a young age and went to a bilingual school where I learned Mandarin. Then in high school and college I continued my Chinese studies while also picking up Spanish. I graduated college from Lewis and Clark college with a major in World Languages and a minor in Political Economy. Learning languages has given me so many amazing opportunities to interact and learn about different people and cultures and I love sharing my passion for language with others. If I had to describe myself in three words I would describe myself as kind, open and funny which I think is reflected in my teaching style. I really want to give my students a safe place to learn, take chances, make mistakes and gain confidence in their language abilities.

    Education

    Graduated from Lewis and Clark College in May of 2019 with BA of Arts and Science. I majored in World Languages and minored in International Political Economy. Cummulative GPA of 3.47.

    Experience / Qualifications

    English Assistant at el Colegio Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (Sept 2019 to present)
    English Assistant for summer course at Lewis and Clark College (Summer 2018)
    Private language tutor (from 2013- present)
    Summer camp counselor/ teacher (2012-2017)
    I am an English tutor, especially geared towards students learning English as a second language. I have experience teaching at a school in Spain with a wide range of students from 1st grade to high school. And also have experience teaching in the United States teaching university students English during a summer course. This class will include vocabulary, grammar, and conversation practice for students. I will prepare subjects to go over, but also am more than happy to tailor classes to specific subjects or topics the student interested in. I want to make sure my students are equipt with the fundamental building blocks of the language to be able to both understand and communicate. Most importantly, I want to do it in a way such that they are engaged in learning and also given chances to practice and gain confidence to take their skills outside of the lesson and into real life situations; this is done through fun interactive activities and conversation, and not just grammar focus. My classes will try to achieve complete immersion in English, but for students who are absolute beginners I am also to explain in their native language if needed; I can also speak Chinese and Spanish.

    Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
    I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
