More About This Tutor...

I use communicative student learning approach to enable students learn and improve their proficiency in the targetted language.
I have an extended experience in teaching English as a Second Language. I have taught all the language skills courses at the undergraduate university level. I have taught many core subjects as well. I have been teaching for more than 10 years. My experience encompass teaching students from diverse ethnic, economic, and cultural backgrounds. I believe that all students can learn. One must know their learning preferences that would help them learn better. I use pair and group learning as well, because sometimes students can learn by debating amongst each other. I am always open to questions and give time for whoever want more time to learn.

Learning can be fun!

I am currently teaching English as a second language to post-secondary international students at California State University Sacramento. I teach all areas of English, including grammar, composition, reading, and listening and speaking skills. I have taught beginning English to refugees in Sacramento, as well as English as a foreign language in Guatemala and Honduras. I have taught both adults and children and love both populations of learners. I am also currently tutoring three Chinese girls with various proficiencies in English. I have worked with students from various language backgrounds including but not exclusive to Arabic, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, African dialects and others. My background in learning a second language myself guides me in understanding the difficulties of learning a second language.
My style is a learner centered one. I believe in guided l ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I graduated from Sonoma State with a BA in English, Single subject emphasis. I am taking a year off before I go back to get my teaching credential in reading. The majority of my classes were geared towards the teaching of reading and writing and I feel confident in my ability to help students improve in those areas. I also worked in a High School writing center and tutored for the past two semesters. I love being around kids and helping them. Currently I live in Tahoe City, but am more than willing to drive to Reno or other areas as well.
I have a fairly easy going personality, but know when to crack down if students are getting off topic or out of hand. I'm very approachable and happy.

Ready to help increase skills in languages and music.

I prefer working one on one with students to help them learn quicker than in group settings.
I have taught as a substitute teacher for five years. I have played violin and trombone professionally in performing groups. I spent five years as a violinist with the Folsom Symphony and ten years with the Camellia Symphony Orchestra. I have also studied voice (singing) and have sung solos in numerous venues. I have lived in Germany and Mexico and learned both languages fluently. I have a degree in German and studied Spanish as well on the college level.

I love Science!

I use a mixture of Socratic methodology, direct instruction, worked examples and analogies to render difficult conepts understandable to students.
I have a solid educational background in chemistry and my general interest in all aspects of the sciences make me a very well rounded and informed candidate. In attaining my science mastery, I have become very facile at mathematics as well. I have taught Chemistry (General, AP, and Honors), along Space, Geology, Earth and Life Science classes for 12 years both privately and in public high schools here in California and abroad. I easily build rapport with students and have tutored for many years all the way back to 1990. Furthermore, I am authorized to teach Specially Designed Academic instruction in English (SDAIE) courses under SB 2042. Additionally, through my teacher training and years of classroom experience, I am a team player ... read more
