Su di me

Hi! My name is Allison. I'm a TESOL certified native English speaker from Massachusetts, United States with 10 years of experience teaching English.

My teaching style is immersive and relaxed. I specialize in improving vocabulary retention, colloquial English, and increasing student fluency and confidence. Classes are conversation-based with a focus on improving student fluency, and are individualized for each student depending on his or her specific needs, goals and interests. Adults I've taught in the past have had a wide variety of requests: increased fluency, exam or interview preparation, industry-specific vocabulary, and English for travel. I generally work with adults who have at least a B1 level, but am open to working with teens and beginners, too.

My English teaching experience began with tutoring newcomer teenagers in the United States in 2013. Next I taught children and teens professionally in Spain for three years, where I also tutored children and adults in a 1-on-1 setting. I've been teaching online through multiple platforms since 2016, in both 1-on-1 sessions and in small groups. Finally, I have a bachelors degree in English, and a 120 hour TESOL certificate.

También, hablo español. Aprendí español viviendo en España, y entiendo muy bien las dificultades de aprender un idioma nuevo.
Tengo muchos alumnos de países hispanohablantes porque reconozco errores cometidos habitualmente por la gente hispanohablante.

Don't hesitate to book a class with me today! My students say that I make conversation fun and easy, and that they feel comfortable speaking with me no matter their level. I'm looking forward to meeting you in the classroom.
