English and test prep with engaging, creative lessons

Hello! My name is Segundo Stephan Jara, and I am a passionate and dedicated English tutor with a focus on empowering students to reach their language goals. Specializing in English as a Second Language (ESL), IELTS preparation, ACT Writing, and general English education, I bring a personal commitment to the success of each of my students. My background includes a Bachelor’s degree in English as a Second Language, which has equipped me with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to guide students into the learning of a new language in an supportive, and personalized manner. Teaching, for me, is not merely about transferring knowledge; it is about creating a dynamic and interactive environment where learning is student-centered. In my approach, the role of the educator is to act as a facilitator, providing students with the tools, resources, and support they need to unlock their full potential. Each student is unique, with different learning styles, goals, and challenges, and my mission is to tailor my lessons to meet those individual needs. My ultimate goal as a tutor is not just to teach English but to inspire confidence and creativity in my students. Learning a language can be a challenging and sometimes frustrating process, but I believe that with the right support, every student can succeed. I strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. Mistakes, after all, are an essential part of the learning process, and it’s through these mistakes that we grow and improve.
