Experience Summary
After graduating from UCI, I studied abroad in Spain. Beginning with the intermediate level, I achieved the advanced level in 3 months.
Later, in Peace Corps, I trained in Kyrgyz language, and reached the advance level in 10 weeks where I also learned successful methods of intensive training, and continue to apply it in my classrooms.
I recently completed my two-year Peace Corps service in Kyrgyzstan teaching English and Spanish, using Russian and Kyrgyz. With this, I learned to understand and solved many of the setbacks and issues that students often have while learning languages, which enabled me to become a more effective teacher. I learned many successful teaching methods to accommodate each student's individual style.
Teaching Style
I love making teaching enjoyable to students. I truly believe that by making languages fun and enjoyable for students makes all the difference.
I will learn about and get to know each student, and accommodate learning styles to find methods that suits the student best.
Each lesson will be well prepared with the student in mind, and I will apply my experience along with the most effective strategies that I have gained over the years. These strategies will include drills, games, enacting conversational scenarios, depending on whichever the student learns best with and feels most happy with.
