Experience Summary
I have a BA in Theatre Arts and an MA in Speech Communication. I have been a professor of Speech Communication for 11 years I am fluent in Spanish (I was born and raised in Venezuela). I have tutored Spanish. I am qualified to tutor English, Spanish, writing, public speaking, reading, and costume design. I have exceptional communication skills. I am particular about correct grammar and syntax and have much experience in teaching both. I invite you to visit www.ratemyprofessor.com, enter Palm Beach Community College, and my name (Emily Oliver) to see what my students have to say about me. I make a difference. I am blessed to be a teacher.
Teaching Style
I am passionate about teaching and my students. I am aware of and respect unique learning styles and willingly and easily accommodate to my students' needs. I have infinite patience and am blessed with an ability to identify and elicit the best qualities and talents in anyone. I am always prepared and very focused in my approach to the lessons at hand. I encourage self-discovery. I provoke my students to think by identifying with what they are learning at an intensely personal level. I am utterly non-judgmental and this engenders trust and openness. I make the learning experience FUN because learning should be so. I foster curiosity, which to me is the engine that runs the joy of learning. Teaching is my oxygen.
