Megan P.
Private tutor in Long Beach, CA
Education
The Evergreen State College, Bachelor of Arts received 2012 with a focus in history and Latin American studies. Additionally, I graduated from CIMAS del Ecuador with a proficiency in Spanish.
Experience
I have been an ESL/EFL teacher and tutor since 2012. I have experience leading a classroom as well as one-on-one tutoring. I've worked with learners with many different backgrounds and at many different levels of learning. During my time at Evergreen, working on independent research as well as many group projects, I became very adept at time management, communications, and collaboration. I went on a study abroad in Ecuador where I attended an advanced Spanish class and volunteered as an assistant teacher for a Catholic school in Quito. In this school I assisted students from kindergarten through 8th grade and this experience inspired me to begin teaching. After college, I spent time volunteering as an ESL instructor at CIELO in Olympia and Yelm. Working as an ESL instructor not only gave me an opportunity to work with students of many different backgrounds, I developed a deep appreciation for the work of teachers. In September of 2013 I moved to Medellin, Colombia, where I started independently tutoring English to students from young adults to middle-aged learners. Giving students the tools to succeed and accomplish their goals has been one of the most invaluable experiences of my life.

Hobbies
I love to travel, meet new people, and experience new things. I just got back from a three month trip through Spain, France, and Italy. I've been to Ecuador and Colombia twice, both of which were absolutely beautiful to visit. Drawing is one of my favorite things and I really appreciate art of all types. I am currently in Seattle and living on a houseboat, which is proving to be an excellent adventure!
