TUTEEMI Founder Camila Sáenz
TUTEEMI 創辦人 Camila Sáenz
人客來坐 My Taiwan Story
Today we've invited the founder of TUTEEMI Camila Sáenz to our show. TUTEEMI is to talk about what got her started this tutoring platform. TUTEEMI has been connecting foreign tutors to teach languages in person 1-1 since 2019 all around Taiwan. Now they've launched TUTEEMI+ MVP which is a platform where people can teach more than just languages. "Skills from all, for all" that's the TUTEEMI+ motto!
I think I was a bit surprised when I found out how young Camila was when I first got to chat with her. She just seems so accomplished at her young age! Not to mention she carries herself like a super-intelligent, confident self-made woman! I am pretty sure you will know what I mean by the end of today's show!
這個禮拜邀請到來自從高中畢業以後就搬來台灣求學的瓜地馬拉的博士生,同時也是TUTEEMI的創辦人的 Camila Saenz 來聊聊她當初是這麽創辦這個非常獨一無二的外語家教媒合平台品牌。來台求學多年,且擁有豐富的外語家教經驗。但她一直對臺式補習班的教學方式不是很認同。所以因緣際會的機會下,她開始接自己的學生。跟著學生多了起來,她也會推薦身邊外國朋友去教學生們。有著創業精神的她意識到這個是一個可以開發的點,可以協助和她一樣,飄洋過海來到台灣求學的外籍生,能夠更簡單的找到家教工作。而且她也可以用她自己的方式來激發學生們對學習的動力。 TUTEEMI上的每位外師都來自不同的文化背景而且每個老師都會至少兩個語言以上Camila 覺得這樣他們才能體會學生們在學習上遇到的困擾。 每個Tutor 都會用客制化的方式來幫助教導學生,融入各地文化、國際觀,讓外語學習更具趣味性,藉此提高學生的學習動力與效率,
Camila覺得「學語言的主要目的是和別人溝通,而不是通過考試。但是許多外國人在台灣只教英文很可惜,他們可能在其他領域也有一技之長。」所以Camila 才發展出 TUTEEMI plus的這個新服務,協助學生媒合音樂、運動等技能類的外籍導師,進一步強化自己的能力與興趣。有興趣的朋友可以上TUTEEMI的網站看看哦~
