Experience

I completed my TEFL teacher training in Paris, France in October 2011 and have since taught at more than one English Language School as well as worked with many private students in New York, France and online. Most recently, I have been working with test prep centers (SAT/ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT) as well as tutoring reading, writing, literature and history. In addition to my teacher training, I am an actor, writer, and performer. Because of this, I have excellent skills with communication, working with others, and being in front of small or large groups of people. I am a native English speaker, capable of very concise, articulate speech, and have a great love of the English language. I achieve amazing satisfaction from inspiring others to communicate. I enjoy the creative elements of teaching and using the students' interests to drive a passion and desire to learn. Amidst my minimal travels across the globe thus far, I have learned that communication is the key to understanding and appreciating each other. In France, I have been able to have a much better understanding of the culture and people I interacted with by knowing their language. Therefore, I believe the more we can express ourselves to those of importance in our experiences, the more fulfilling our lives can be. *Sight Prep-Kaplan Paris, France -conduct one-on-one lessons for SAT, GMAT, TOEFL -prepare students for major standardized tests, offering unique strategy and study skills -assist in college and post-grad applications *ISTEC Paris Paris, France -conduct group classes for university students with intermediate level English -create curriculum including theme-based lessons focusing on a variety of topics from technology to marketing -utilize multimedia materials for maximum range of English: reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar *ADomLingua Paris, France -conduct one-on-one lessons for general English, TOEFL, TOEIC -create personalized lesson plans based on student’s level and needs -use multimedia resources to assist and improve grammar, reading, writing, speaking, listening *A Sharp Education Online -conduct one-on-one lessons and group lessons to international high school age students -tutor students in high school reading/writing, literature and test prep (SAT/ACT/SSAT) -create course curriculum for individual and small group classes online *Ivy Talent Education Online -conduct one-on-one lessons to international high school age students online -tutor students in high school reading/writing, literature, history, interview and test prep (TOEFL/SAT/ACT) -utilize online teaching platform for interactive and multimedia lessons *Manhattan Review Online/NYC -private tutoring for individuals and small groups: SAT, ACT, TOEFL -instruct both verbal and quantitative skills based on the student's needs and abilities -find creative ways to teach test strategies and content *NY English Center Manhattan, NY -Create lessons for advanced students using weekly themes and grammar points -Prepare variety of media and resources to develop creative lessons for large groups -Multi-tasking students with varying levels of ability/skills *Speexx Paris, France -Creating business English workshops for groups of students -Developing lesson plan based on proposed business themes -Focusing on speaking activities to supplement online course work *Cours Colbert Paris, France -Focus one-on-one attention to individual students in preparation for TOEFL and SAT -Develop creative lessons based on student’s needs and preferences -Utilizing conversation, listening, reading, writing exercises to improve students abilities *Private Students Manhattan, NY/Paris,France -Focused one-on-one attention to individual students ranging from elementary to advanced levels -Develop creative lessons based on student’s needs and preferences -Utilizing conversation, reading, and writing exercises to improve students abilities -Preparing a range of activities surrounding grammar, vocabulary, and ability to use language successfully including worksheets, video clips, Internet, articles, pronunciation exercises, songs and games *Kaplan International Manhattan, NY -Teach intermediate groups of students from diverse backgrounds -Adhere to a set curriculum involving speaking/listening, reading/writing, and grammar -Find ways of infusing creativity and passion while still following a structured curriculum -Teach a specialized skills class focusing on Idioms to advanced students *Campus Education Manhattan, NY -Create lessons for intermediate-advanced to advanced students -Prepare variety of media and resources to develop creative lessons for large groups over many hours -Focus on conversation skills, vocabulary improvement, broadening of information on numerous topics -Multi-tasking students with varying levels of ability/skills/willingness to participate -Utilizing games, debates, articles, worksheets, reading, writing, and speaking exercises *TEFL/TESOL Program Paris, France 120-Hour TEFL Certification training program -Planned curriculum, chapters, and lessons -Prepared extra-activity material -Taught interactive communicative EFL classes to adults -Evaluated peer performance -Selected course books -Studied methodology and English grammar

Hobbies

A trained performer and artist, I love acting, singing, writing and general creativity. I also love meeting new people, exploring new cultures, and traveling as often as I can. Currently, I am actively pursuing my writing career in addition to teaching. I have my own blog, am working on a young adult novel, and have been quickly building my travel writing portfolio. Several of my articles have been published on tourism and other websites.
