Tutors Who Inspire: Teresa Fone🌟

At Boutique Education, we are fortunate to have a phenomenal team of tutors who inspire, motivate, and support our students every step of the way. Today, we'd like to highlight Teresa Fone!

Hi! I'm Teresa, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and currently a tutor with Boutique Education. I love helping students build confidence and discover that learning can be both enjoyable and rewarding. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to teach in Costa Rica and Vietnam, working with everyone from young learners to university students and adults in both classroom and one-to-one settings. These experiences showed me that no two students learn the same way, which is why I take the time to get to know each student and adapt lessons to suit their individual needs and goals. I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing in confidence. Whether through games, conversation, real-world examples, or personalised activities, I love finding ways to make learning engaging, fun, and meaningful. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is seeing students become more confident in their abilities and proud of how far they have come!

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
Specialisations: ESL, Conversational English, Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary Development
Hobbies: Travelling and exploring nature, learning about history, cooking, and watching reality TV (guilty pleasure!)
Fun Fact: I've lived in five different countries!
Favourite book: Percy Jackson & the Olympians by Rick Riordan

We're proud to have Teresa as part of the Boutique Education team and know that her enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication make a real difference in the lives of her students.
