About Me

My name is Dr. Vanessa. I am an American who lived and taught in Egypt for thirteen years. I recently moved to Malaga, Spain and have decided that I would like to live here for an extended period of time.

Each student, each level, each subject has brought me to the same conclusion: I love teaching. I am pleased to be able to help others learn – their successes are my successes. Teaching has also caused me to expand my knowledge and to appreciate the differences and similarities that all people possess. In Egypt I began teaching English, then, because teachers left the school, was asked to teach other subjects as well. Some of the subjects, such as history, were distant memories for me, and so, in order to teach them, I had to study and learn them first. This not only made me sympathetic with the students and what was expected of them, but also enabled me to learn. I like to incorporate games, role playing, and skits into the lessons to help students improve their academic skills while having fun. My personal philosophy is "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." I also believe that learning is a treasure, but it must be done in a manner that is worthwhile and fun. As a result, instead of saying, "Why do I need to know this?" my students say, "Can you tell me more about this?" It's a wonderful comment to hear.

Experience / Qualifications

I have many years of experience in teaching a variety of students in a variety of subjects: math, physics, English, biology, chemistry, history, business, Baccalaureate-preparation, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, SAT (English and Math), TOEIC, FCE, PET, KET, IGCSE, GCSE, CEFR, and TOEIC. In Egypt, I taught at Al Waha School, Basata School, and Taba Heights School, as well as provided private lessons. The majority of my lessons are taken by ten- to eighteen-year-old middle and high school students, although I do have students as young as three.
My oldest student is now seventy-four. My students have ranged in ability from absolute beginners to advanced levels. In private lessons, I develop a program that is specific to the student, to enable that student to progress to his or her ultimate aims. Since I’ve been in Spain, I’ve continued to work online with several of my students in Egypt.
