The Language Lounge

The Language Lounge is so excited to welcome Tess Zentarsky as our first employee! Please join us in congratulating her ?? ??In 2021, Tess graduated with a BA in both?Spanish?and Urban Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. In 2024, she completed a MSc in Business Management, with a specialization in Sustainability and Innovation. She is also an accredited?TEFL?teacher (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). ????/???? Tess is originally from the U.S., but relocated to Spain three years ago and has been living there since, immersing herself in the culture and the language! During this time, she has worked as a private EFL/ESL tutor for Spanish children, both in person and online. Her experience is mainly with kids from the ages of 7 to 16 that have varying levels of English comprehension. ?? Tess offers personalized?online?classes for The Language Lounge in (1) Spanish as a second language, (2) ESL, and (3) English Language Arts. She has jumped head first into private 1:1 lessons and has kickstarted our Spanish group classes. All her students already love her! ??A message from Tess: “I know how intimidating it can be for those who are learning a new language, but I can also vouch strongly for the benefits that being bilingual or trilingual can have on your life, opening up doors you never had imagined before!? As a teacher, I am energetic, empathetic, and creative in my lesson plans. I always aim to make my lessons enjoyable and useful, and I am willing to work together with parents and students to ensure this." Welcome to the team, Tess!
