English ESOL is one of my top subjects! ESOL is how I learnt English for about 12 years in Germany (I grew up with English though).

I have 3 years of tutoring experience for German and ESOL in Germany as well as in the United States. As a tutor I helped with reading, writing and homework as well as with correcting essays in cooperation with my students. Also, I advised in sentence structures, vocabulary and proper pronunciation and taught aspects of German and American culture.
Depending on the student's needs.

Let's start working together to reach your goals of success!

My teaching style is fun: relaxed and engaging for my students and for me too. I am serious about giving my clients the best and richest learning situation as possible. I use a modality designed just for that student and perhaps not offered at school. Since I am in a one on one setting I can ideally focus on just that one student's personal needs. I communicate clearly with all stake holders to ensure I am meeting the learner's needs and expectations. I know some of our relationships will be short term to get past an academic challenge and others may be longer to meet your needs. Whatever the length or circumstances I want it to be the best, positively memorable and educationally worthwhile experience for my student.
Throughout my successful career as a teacher and school counselor, I've instructed every level from kindergarten to college level. Likewise I've had the privilege of ... read more

As an American kid who grew up outside of the US, I am a lifelong student of language and culture. Because of my studies in French and since I lived 14 years in France, I have near-native mastery of the language and understand the culture intimately. I have taught Middle School and High School level French for 5 years in an international school in Germany. I also have strong English skills, having earned a BA in English, which included classes to prepare me specifically to tutor students in English. I have helped students learn to write papers and essays for other classes when I worked as a classroom teacher.
I greatly enjoy helping students come to the “Aha” moments of understanding. Almost nothing gives me greater joy than seeing a student’s eyes light up as he or she makes connections between new and old information. I am very empathetic when a student feels blocked in his ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am best-suited for the older student. I like to establish a rapport for efficient use of teaching/tutoring time. The more comfortable a student is with his teacher/tutor, the more interested he becomes in the subject being taught/tutored. Some students need extra help, which I am patient enough to provide; however, some students need a little push, which I am firm enough to provide.
In college, I pursued a minor degree in English because of my love of English, reading, and writing. I love to proofread and edit. Being a sociology major, I had to write many papers, which fine-tuned my grammatical, spelling, proofreading, and editing skills. In law school, I excelled in and enjoyed legal writing courses. While I worked for Kaplan, I taught and privately tutored ACT students. As an attorney I have extensively utilized all of the above-mentioned skills. I enjoyed teaching and t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Building rapport with my students is key; if they know I'm dedicated to their success, they'll be more confident in asking questions and trying new approaches, taking an active role in their learning. I keep a stress-free atmosphere of empathy, patience, encouragement and understanding. To match my students' methods of learning I often draw and write my own examples while using other media to spark creativity. I guide students as they work and provide immediate feedback and solutions. In this way, they can build upon their lessons and continually sharpen their skills for success. It is extremely rewarding to see my students improve--I am wholeheartedly invested in making it happen.
