I am a native English speaker, and received excellent instruction on the English language in a private school. I have done very well on writing assignments in college, and I am now in my last semester... of finishing a Master of Science in Education with a TESOL specialization. While I have not gained experience teaching as of yet, I have taken master’s level courses such as language acquisition and development, second language curriculum development, and theories and methods of TESOL. I have significant experience learning a second language myself, so I can relate to ways of learning that resonate most. read more

Hello!! My name is Sarah Weeks, and I am a California native excited about English! Some of my hobbies include reading, playing the piano, and watching shows from various different cultures! Language ... and culture have been fascinations of mine for years now, and I am excited to get the chance to work with students who are still learning English! While my niche is working with English language learners, I am still available and eager to work with students who are native speakers of English with various aspects of English such as grammar, vocabulary, and writing. In terms of my educational background, I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California Baptist Univeristy in Riverside, CA. I completed one year of the Master’s in Counseling Psychology program at CBU before switching to a Master of Science in Education with a TESOL specialization. I am in my last semester, but have already completed all the coursework for my TESOL certificate. I very much believe that student’s should feel enjoyment and engagement from the learning process. I hope to make our sessions together personable, relevant, and something you feel invested in! Cultural sensitivity and respect is of the utmost importance, and it is my goal to cultivate a space in which you feel you can comfortably excel and make mistakes. I look forward to working with you!read more
