English (K-8) and ESL/ESOL tutor

About Chantalle

I am a professional ESL and Spanish tutor with over 8 years of hands-on experience. From an early age I received a bilingual education and after high school I studied Modern Languages in the Metropolitan University of Caracas, Venezuela to be a translator. I am very passionate about education; there is always something new we can learn to enrich our knowledge. What I love the most about teaching is how much we learn from our students.

I have taught private ESL and Spanish lessons since I was 18 years old. I am constantly improving my teaching methods using audio-visual, interactive and creative techniques depending on the level, interests and unique needs of each student. I have had the opportunity of instructing a wide variety of students from different backgrounds and different age ranges.

Our first scheduled lesson is usually to identify the student's interests, needs and level. Depending on those factors we determine what area we need to focus on more and which methods or techniques will be most effective.

I've helped students in many different ways like getting into prestigious schools, passing a test, feeling more confident to express themselves, improving their fluency, expanding their vocabulary, understanding grammar and achieving good conversational skills.

Lessons focus on conversation; they also include vocabulary, grammar, reading, comprehension, writing, speaking, listening and pronunciation (accent reduction).

I create a positive and supportive environment that will engage students and encourage them to stay focused and motivated but at the same time remain appropriately challenged. I am reliable, responsible and very dedicated to the learning process of each individual.

Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule our first lesson!
