Tutor in Brooklyn, New York

I'm an
Individual
My name is Kerrin and I have been teaching Spanish grades for the last 10 years. I have my professional certification to teach grades 6-12. I currently work for the New York City Department of education. I teach 8th grade and administer the NYS Spanish Proficiency exam to my students every year. I have taught all grades within my licence area and know the ins and outs of the Spanish reagents exam given in high school. I am a native English speaker with Irish and Italian parents. I first started learning Spanish in third grade. The language always came easy to me. While going to Queens College, where I received my B.A. in Spanish and Secondary Education, I worked in restaurants. I always loved cooking and had an opportunity to learn from my Hispanic co-workers. There is where I was forced to learn multiple dialects of the language. When native speakers hear me they ask what country I am from. Because I started learning so young I was able to pick up a native accent. I have my masters degree in art with a concentration in pottery and sculpture. I create everything from fabric dying, photography, drawing, tattooing, mosaics, advertisements and cards for businesses to private commissions using acrylic, watercolor and oil. I paint indoor and outdoor murals and classrooms all over New York. I have also been commissioned to paint a few motorcycles, helmets and lay down some pinstripping. I am very familiar with technology in the art field and have helped students put together portfolios for high schools and colleges. I have a natural skill with language especially English being my first. I am comfortable tutoring all subjects except those involving mathematics. Math is not my strong suit. While teaching during the day I also taught five years of English as a second language to adults at night. My availability is: Monday- Tuesday after 4:30pm Wednesday- Friday after 3:30pm Saturday- Sunday anytime I have my own car and am willing to travel to you. I live in Brooklyn and am comfortable tutoring in my home if you are willing to come to me as my rates would be much cheaper. Libraries are also a great place to meet. Certified teachers charge up to $80.00 an hour. I am more than willing to negotiate a fair price. Contact me anytime during my available hours listed above. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
