Accent Modification With Celina

I provide a comprehensive speech evaluation. We establish the goals that the student wishes to reach. I create a tailored lesson plan reflecting those goals.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, Concentration in Translation and Interpretation, from Hunter College, CUNY New York, NY. I took courses in linguistics which included morphology and phonology.   

$45 for a 30-45-minute lesson. We can make the lessons longer at a discounted rate. I find that 30 minutes is the ideal amount of time.

I have a knack for teaching. As a child, I would line up my plush toys and 'teach' them. I tutored biology in high school. My first job was as a teaching assistant at a daycare center. Then I gave science demonstrations at the Liberty Science Center. The Monsignor at my grandmother's church suggested that I could teach ESL classes at his Parish 10 years ago, and I have been teaching ESL part-time ever since.

I have worked with all ages in-person and online, from as young as 5 to retired seniors. I have had the privilege of working with students from around the world. I've had Chinese, Mongolian, Afghan, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Spanish speakers from all over the Americas and Spain.

There was a student who started in my beginner English class. He was a laundry attendant at a hotel at that time. I tailored my lessons to the hotel environment. He made significant progress in his studies. He was eventually promoted to the maintenance department.

Find an enthusiastic teacher who will teach you how to learn, not just what to learn.

What is my goal? How will I know if I have achieved that goal? What are my weaknesses? What are my strengths? Most importantly, why am I learning English? Knowing your Why is a great motivator to keep you focused on your learning goals.
