Russian to English, English to Russian tutor, translator

From Russia, learned English in America, as well as Spanish. Took lessons in college, received straight "A"s in all. Language is very much based on experience, therefore I know how to teach because that is how I learned. If needed, before the first tutoring session, I can provide my lesson plan. However, each student is very different from each other and I hope he/she is willing to learn, because I am here to teach and guarantee success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing and a minor in Education. I will be graduating this fall. Fall of 2014 I spent the semester tutoring a 12 y.o. girl in the English Language. This meant reading stories and answering questions about them, going over vocabulary, and learning new concepts. I have worked with children from elementary school through high school.

As an English major at a liberal arts college, I honed my skills as a writer early on. I have been a public relations professional for over 20 years, specializing in writing and editing of all sorts from research papers to news articles and essays. I have excellent grammar and proofreading skills, and have tutored and assisted dozens of students and colleagues in all levels and types of writing. I have taught English as a Foreign Language to students in both Italy and Japan, and I am conversant in French and can teach French grammar. I have also taught advanced PR classes as an adjunct professor at a four-year university.
I enjoy teaching children from elementary level up through college, especially in writing skills. My real-world experience as a public relations professional is appealing to my students, and I incorporate real-world examples and issues in my lessons. I love to see ... read more

I follow the teaching strategy of Total Physical Response with commands, and TPR for stories. I find that this gets the students engaged with the foreign language, and they start communicating in Spanish faster than if other teaching styles or strategies were used. I have had good success with TPR and TPRS. The focus of this strategy is teaching language the way a child learns his/her own language, starting with commands, and adding nouns, and adjectives to the verbal commands. Then, we progress into stories, and students interact with the words and phrases of the stories.
I have always been fascinated with the Spanish language: its phonology, expressions, and many forms of the Spanish language. That love of Spanish caused me to formally study the language, and earn a B.A. and an M.A. in Spanish. My interest in Spanish also took me to Paraguay, and Mexico, where I lived for over th ... read more

As stated earlier, All children can learn. I believe that all children have different learning abilities and it takes a positive ad patient teacher to notice and react. I am very patient, caring, and supportive. If a child is struggling to master certain objective, then it is my responsibility to provide all avenues to ensure success. There is no "u" in team. We will all work together to achieve the possible. I work hard with all my students and I never give up. I am an encouraging teacher who insists on making learning fun and interesting. I am a young teacher with a lot of energy. Therefore, I am more than willing to energize all children and encourage them to make learning a sport.
I have been in the teaching field for 2 years now and I love it. Although I've taught during VBS and other church functions, I have been in the Gadsden County School District for 2 years. I e ... read more

A recent graduate with a double major in English and French, I have both academic and professional experience. During college, I maintained a 4.0 in all of my major classes while holding a top editorial position. Furthermore, I possess 3 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored students of various levels and various walks of life on both a free-lance and organizational level. I pride myself in my tutoring experience and truly enjoy the activity.
I value shared goals for each session and encourage open conversation to cultivate ideas. Typically asked to assist on all levels of essay-writing, I start with the question and expectations. As an editor, I am extremely thorough. I make sure the student understands any edits that I mark are an attempt to help that student best learn. I walk through all edits with the student. I also take an approach of learning WITH the student and wi ... read more

I strongly believe that the best quality a teacher can have is adaptability. As an instructor I have a responsibility to conform to my students learning styles. I have never met a student of any age who was unintelligent or incapable of reaching their academic goals. If a student is having difficulty in a subject it is the responsibility of the instructor to seek out new approaches of communication and student engagement. With adequate amounts of instructoral persistence, dedication, and adaptability any student, regardless of previous difficulties has an excellent chance for success. On a personal level there is no greater joy, or motivator than assisting these challenged students with reaching their academic goals.
As an undergraduate, I worked with the America Reads Program, mentoring a first grade student with reading difficulties. We met three days a week for an entire schoo ... read more

While earning my degree in English, I developed teaching and communication skills through both curricular and extra-curricular experiences. As an intended Secondary Education minor, I took many classes in education, including a middle and high school practicum. I also tutored students in grammar and composition, as well as foreign students in conversational English. I strongly considered teaching as a profession after graduation, but I wanted to earn my law degree first. While studying for the LSAT, I took an online course, mastering test-taking skills in all three parts: logic “games,” analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of Florida, with extensive work in research, analysis, and writing, these skills came easy to me. Currently, I am a teaching assistant for Legal Writing and Research and thoroughly enjoy helping 1L’s also ... read more

Learning has always been my goal. The hope of understanding is the light which illuminates this dark abyss of bureaucracy, strange smells and seeming disorder. I have read ceaselessly, watched ravenously, pondered to no end; a mind which never sleeps but continues seeking. I was Valedictorian of my middle school and graduated from FSU magna cum laude, but these are hot air to me; decorations. A's in school are just a by-product. I seek the real thing, which may not be found in this lifetime, in these bodies, with these minds, but I seek it anyway.
Throughout my existence I have found myself in the role of teacher. Whether it be academic or physical, I have been blessed with keen abilities, as well as an ease in communicating ideas. This, I believe, stems from a need to comprehend not just the action of something, but the reason for that action as well. By this, often I am able to s ... read more

My philosophy of education focuses on student-centered learning. When students learn to be accountable for their own behavior and learning, they become practiced in valuable life-skills and become better prepared for the future. Further, I believe student-centered learning to be most effective, because students relish the idea of being entrusted to make their own decisions.
I am a licensed teacher and have a degree in English Education. My real-life experience has indoctrinated: strong organizational skills, teamwork and independent thinking. I have held several positions of responsibility and am self-motivated and self-directed.

I believe that students learn best from teaching and therefore owning the material. This means that whenever I teach, I first explain the concept, then model my thought process of solving the problem, and then I have the student teach the material back to me. By teaching in this style, this allows the student the create his or her own understanding of the subject and retain it in the long run.
I have been tutoring for four years, covering many academic subjects and ages. I have worked with four year olds, middle school students, high school students, college students, and even adults who were older than me. I have a natural gift that allows me to communicate with people from all different walks of life, which makes me a successful tutor. In addition to my strong communication skills, I also experienced a unique high school experience, so I find it easy to relate to students wh ... read more
