"Hello! I'm Chelsea. I am available to tutor all levels of Spanish, English composition, painting, drawing, color theory and ceramics.

I moved to Chicago from Savannah, Georgia in 2019. In Savannah I was teaching high school Spanish 1 during the day and leading art classes in painting, drawing and ceramics for adults and teenagers in the evenings and on weekends. Before that, I lived in New York City and worked in textile & surface design. Art and languages are my two main focuses in my career and working with committed teenage or adult students in either area is a delight.

Since moving to Chicago I have been teaching ceramics to both children and adults in various art centers and tutoring in Spanish. I find both tutoring and teaching to be deeply satisfying. I love guiding people towards understanding or exploring new things, I love watching the light bulb click on.

I graduated cum laude from Skidmore College in 2008 with a double major in English Literature and Studio Art. After graduation, I moved to Spain for several years and taught English to both adults and children while expanding my capabilities in Spanish. I then completed an MA program in Spanish Linguistics through Middlebury College at their Madrid campus in 2012.

I currently work as an art teacher and tutor in the greater Chicago area. I feel that my role is to open up new pathways and perspectives to explore creativity and build confidence as much as it is to teach new skills.

I am happy to set up a 15 minute skype or video meeting for free with interested students or parents of students." less...
