Mae

Hi I'm Mae! I'm from New Jersey, but I've been living in Spain for almost two years now and plan to stay in Madrid for many more! I'm currently a teacher at a primary school and I work with young children-- 1st and 2nd graders-- so I have a lot of experience with this age group. I also au paired in Madrid for four months with a Spanish family, and my primary job was to speak English with the young children. While most of my recent experience is with little kids, I am certified in teaching English to adults, and for many years in the United States I taught lessons to adult immigrants who had very basic knowledge of English. My goal is to find students, either children or adults, who are motivated and excited about language learning, that way the environment is enjoyable and, hopefully, we can work together for a long period of time. I am happy to teach whatever type of class best suits each student, whether that be a conversation class or test preparation, I am eager to construct these classes based on each individual's needs. With all language learners, especially children, I approach teaching with patience and compassion. Because I grew up studying Spanish and have navigated living in a foreign country, I know how frustrating the process can be, but I also know how rewarding the payoff is. So let's start working together! If interested, please email me about yourself and what kind of English class you're looking for.
