Julienne Montrond
Brookline, Massachusetts (America)
I am a first generation Cape Verdiean Italian American who has always had a passion for languages. Growing up I lived in a household where three languages where spoken. And when with my grandparents our form of communication was never english. I am proud of my cultures and my mixed identity and it has always been a goal of mine to learn about others cultures though their language, food and music. I love to ask my friends questions and learn more about their culture. When I learned that at Language Virtual teachers learn about their students different cultures while helping others, I knew I wanted to be a Language virtual teacher.

Madison Allen
Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts (America)
Hello! My name is Madison Ruth Allen (She/Her/Hers) and I’m an incoming Senior at Brookline High School. If you’ve ever studied a second language, like me, you know that learning a language is much more than rigorously studying vocabulary and grammatical rules. Learning a language is a layering process; exposure to the language, thinking, reading, listening, writing, and speaking in that language, and sustained, consistent practice. None of which is easy but incredibly gratifying. I hope to provide my students with basic literary skills and challenge the belief that language proficiency is a barrier for rich and meaningful instruction and academic conversations. I plan to use instructional strategies that teach contextualized, comprehensive, and differentiated material and emphasize that language differences should never be seen as a deficiency. Aside from teaching wonderful humans, you’ll find me sipping on cream with a splash of coffee in Coolidge Corner, binge-watching Netflix’s corniest romance movies, virtually anywhere, and reading the blurbs of every book shelved in Brookline Booksmith.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing the piano, running, spending time with my dog, Mishti, and watching binge-shows.

I enjoy singing, playing piano, and taking part in my school's drama productions such as the musicals and plays of each season. I also enjoy dancing, specifically ballet, and have been doing so for as long as I can remember (when I was 3 or 4). Over the summer, I was part of a Grubstreet program where I learned a lot about writing, especially grammar and spelling, which has helped me with reading and writing about English literature. When teaching, I like to present the basics first, and then move into more complicated topics. This will hopefully make the material easier at first and not so confusing. I'm so excited to help students feel more comfortable with the English language and I hope I can connect well with them!

Brookline, Massachusetts (America)
Hi, my name is Yenna! I am 15 (turning 16 in January!) years old, and I am a sophomore (10th grade) at Brookline High School. I love to help out and be a part of communities, whether it be my own or others'! I am very spontaneous and love to use aspects of my own life as opportunities to learn, for me and and others! I have had experience teaching math to younger students, and my students and I had a wonderful time. My current and forevermore "student" is my rescued miniature poodle, Solie! She was going to be euthanized in a municipal shelter in Mississippi, but was rescued in the nick of time! She is so intelligent and thoughtful, so she is a breeze to teach tricks and commands. I'd love to share her with students! I already do share her adorableness with the world on our doggie fashion Instagram account, where we promote and model for a handful of small businesses close to our hearts.

I am a high school freshman in Massachusets. I speak Russian fluently, English is my second language. I started learning it ten years ago and even though now I am fluent in it, I still continue learning more and more. I know how hard it is to learn a new language from my own experience. I am a very creative and determined person: I play 4 instruments and love acting. I can assure you that I'll make the process of learning English enthralling and informative.

Hi! My name is Zoe Campbell, and I am a rising junior at Milton Academy. My favorite subjects are English, history, and Chinese. I believe that tutoring is an amazing way to grow as a learner and foster meaningful connections, so I would be sure to bring my enthusiasm for learning to every session and create an open, positive environment for every student. Outside of school, I enjoy running, volunteering, and spending time outside with friends and family.
