Esther

Certified Tutor

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Humanities, Philosophy & Art at Biola University, where I attended on an academic scholarship. My love for tutoring began in high School when I tutored children (ages 5-14) through a daycare where I worked with special needs children in Math, English, Social Sciences, and Writing.
I was in a Speech Team for high school students from 2004-2007, where I trained them in English Literature, Communications, and Public Speaking. We focused on stage presence, diction, confidence, and articulate communication delivery.
After high school, I moved to France to be an Au Pair for a French family, where I tutored the children (ages 8-12) in English and became proficient in French myself. When I returned to the United States in 2006, I continued my studies in French grammar for four years, while pursuing my Bachelor's Degree at Biola University.

I am a Shakespeare aficionado, love running, hiking, dancing, singing, and reading masterfully written classics novels. I love helping people overcome their fears and struggles in learning, and helping them take joy in learning. I love tutoring French, and having studied the language myself in France. I enjoy helping students gain authentic pronunciation, colloquialisms, and conversation skills!

I am cheerful, positive, and a dedicated worker. I bring professionalism and fun to every tutoring scenario. By setting reasonable and attainable goals, I creatively design every session to accommodate the student's needs and learning preferences. Each person is unique, and ought to be given the special attention that will best equip them with the confidence and skills they need to succeed!
