Serena M.

Private tutor in Halifax, Canada

Education

I earned my graduate degree in Spanish literature from Bologna University. I then went on to earn a Ph.D. in Spanish and Portuguese languages, literature, and culture.

Experience

I offer language tutoring for students who are studying Spanish or Italian, including those who are taking AP courses in these fields. I am also able to help you prepare for upcoming SAT Subject Area Tests for either language. While I do not have a degree in French, I may also be able to provide tutoring for this language depending on the level. I love teaching and working with students. Languages are undoubtedly my specialty as I am fluent in Italian, Spanish, and English and have also studied French extensively. In Italy, I volunteered as a free tutor for children with special needs. It was there that I developed the fundamentals skills of patience and understanding. That is also where I learned the power of laughter when learning something difficult.

Hobbies

Being an immigrant, I totally understand how difficult it could be to learn a foreign language, so I will always know how you feel! I believe the best way to learn languages is to have a full immersion but taking it easy, so I usually use music, tv shows, pictures and short stories, besides, of course, the classic materials. As a foreign literature and language tutor, I love reading, and maybe it is why I also work part-time in a book store.
