About Monique

About Me Welcome! My name is Dr. Monique Torres and I’m here to help you unlock your full potential in English, Creative writing or Spanish. With a PhD, over five years of experience as a special education teacher, and a passion for teaching, I bring a unique blend of expertise, patience, and creativity to every lesson. As a former special education teacher, I’ve worked with students of all learning styles and abilities, tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether you’re crafting compelling stories in English or mastering conversational Spanish, I create a supportive and engaging environment where you can thrive. What sets me apart is my personalized teaching style. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all methods. I take the time to understand your goals, strengths, and challenges. With a blend of structured lessons, interactive activities, and constructive feedback, I aim to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Whether you’re in Elementary school, a high school student preparing for college, a professional looking to enhance your skills, or an adult learner pursuing personal growth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to achieve your goals with confidence and creativity!

About the lesson

Lessons in English, Creative Writing and Spanish

My teaching method is personalized, student-centered, and interactive. I assess each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style to design a tailored approach. For English and creative writing, I encourage imagination and storytelling while building strong grammar and vocabulary foundations. In Spanish, I emphasize immersive learning, conversational fluency, and cultural understanding, incorporating real-world scenarios and multimedia resources.

I use the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model:
1. I Do – Demonstrating concepts and techniques.
2. We Do – Collaborating with students on exercises.
3. You Do – Allowing students to practice independently with constructive feedback.

A Typical Lesson Plan

English Creative Writing
1. Warm-Up (5 min): Creative prompts or a short reading exercise.
2. Core Lesson (20 min):
• Focus on a specific writing technique (e.g., dialogue, character development, or descriptive imagery).
• Discuss examples from literature or student work.
3. Practice (20 min): Guided writing activity based on the technique taught.
4. Feedback & Discussion (10 min): Constructive critique and Q&A.
5. Homework: Assign a short creative piece or reflective journal entry.

Spanish Lessons
1. Introduction (5 min): Review of previous lessons and objectives for the day.
2. Core Lesson (20 min):
• Vocabulary or grammar focus (e.g., verb conjugations or sentence structure).
• Cultural insights (idioms, traditions, or music).
3. Practice (20 min): Role-playing conversations or translation exercises.
4. Wrap-Up (10 min): Recap key points and set goals for independent practice.

What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
1. PhD Expertise: I bring a deep academic background and extensive knowledge in both fields.
2. Bilingual Proficiency: Fluent in English and Spanish, I bridge linguistic and cultural gaps effectively.
3. Creative and Engaging Approach: I integrate storytelling, real-world scenarios, and multimedia to make lessons enjoyable and memorable.
4. Empathy and Adaptability: With experience as a single mom and a mentor, I connect with students on a personal level and adapt to their unique needs.
