Experience Summary
I have tutored English to Chinese immigrants.
I have tutored English privately to French students.
I have tutored English to Japanese at the Inlingua School in San Francisco, CA (similar to Berlitz School)
I have over 30 graduate creative writing courses from the Univ. of Washington in Seattle, WA.
I have written a novel while I was in grad school at the University of Washington. I was also a French major and attended the Univeristy of Paris, the Sorbonne in Paris, France for 2 years. Languages and writing have always been a passion for me. I have also recently taught CCD to fifth graders at my church.
Teaching Style
I taught English in a language school (Inlingua) which was a question/answer format much like a baby learns a language or like the Berlitz method.
I like to use practical examples often relying on drama skills,
music or life so a student can identify. I believe in making learning fun. I believe all children can learn if given the chance and inspired. I use games often to teach. I have made a difference in all my pupils' education. It is what makes it satisfying.
