English made easy!

I have been teaching Music for 15 years, and ESL for 10 years. My experiences in Japan, where I had oppertunities to teach students from Japan, Peru and Paraguay. As a British citizen, My experience allowed me to expand my linguistic and cultural appreciation of what it means to be in a completely different country than my own and the expectations placed on foreign residents. In regards to my vocal experience, I began singing competively at the age of 4; In Wales, singing is a strong part of our culture. When I was 17, I was accepted into the National Welsh Youth choir, where we performed nationally and made numerous T.V appearences. My vocal style is best described as ecclectic, and I am very versitile. During my time in University, I volunteered as a music therapy instructor at a school for special needs children. During this time, I ead activities which allowed every child the op ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past 18 years, I have held various instructor positions in both the Active and Reserve components of the Army, providing instruction in such areas as Anatomy & Physiology, Biology, Surgical Technique, Emergency Medicine, Combat Lifesaver and Sterile Processing. My extensive work in medicine as a surgical first assistant and instructor gave me a unique insight into the inner workings of the human body, in both the civilian as well as the military sectors. It has given me wonderful opportunities to work with all different types of students in a broad spectrum of areas such as science, communication and public speaking, leadership roles, English, beginner Spanish (high school and college level), and writing (APA and other styles.)
My teaching style is very goal-oriented, yet flexible enough to accomodate a variety of methods. Some students learn best from lectures, other le ... read more

I assess what their difficulty is. I may back track and ensure they understand the basic foundation of the principle they are learning, then move forward one step at a time, as they grasp each concept. Many times, they must understand step one, to complete step two, etc. I love to see people succeed. When a student finally understands a concept, it gives them, as well as me a feeling of great satisfaction.
Currently, I own my own Health Insurance Agency in Tehachapi. I am an Administrative/Management Professional with 20 years experience. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Administration with a GPA of 3.46. My 11-year old daughter is a straight A student because I worked with her at an early age with studies that were at least 1 - 2 years beyond her current year. I knew she had the intellectual capacity to learn these, and it has paid off for her every year of school ... read more
