Experienced Spanish, English French and Learning Support Teacher -come and learn with Jesse.

Jesse was an MYP and DP Spanish teacher at the Intentional School of Tanganyika in Dar es Salaam where I am the DP Coordinator. Jesse brought a depth and breadth of knowledge about both Spanish language and appropriate pedagogy. She was dedicated to the success of her students designing engaging lessons, providing personalized feedback and maintaining high standards. Jesse solidified our Spanish language courses and invigorated the subject. Her students have made tremendous progress with their Spanish language learning.

Jesse taught my 2 daughters (age 11 an 12) French for an hour a week. They loved her lessons as she made the lessons fun- using creative and age appropriate material. They made huge progress in her lessons and developed a love for the language which has continued. I would strongly recommend Jesse who is energetic, positive, organised and resourceful in her approach. She has years of experience which she brings to the lessons. We were lucky to have her!
