My comments on tutoring TOEFL : Taught English in Korea for 1 year

English and reading tutor for 5 years (elementary and middle school level) Math tutor for 2 years (high school level) Advanced physics tutor for 2 years (college level) Violin teacher for 4 years (beginner and intermediate level) Taught English in Korea for 1 year (elementary, middle school, and adult)
I always try to cater to my individual student's needs. I have a very laid back and friendly personality. I want to encourage and help each person to fully understand the subject he or she is studying.

A Little Bit About Me...

By the time that I have spent a short time with my students, they know that I care for them and want them to be the best that they can be; they know that I expect good work from them and want each to do his or her best. As I learn my students, I realize my need to differentiate my teaching styles to fit my students' specific learning needs and am convinced that each person can learn and can do well if he or she is worked with according to his or her particular learning style. I am patient with my students but work to push them to be their best.
I have twenty-nine years of experience in teaching middle and high school students. I have taught high school English, Bible, history, and speech/drama; and middle school English, Bible, science, history, speech/drama, and math through Pre-Algebra. During these years I taught multi-ethnic classes, mainly in urban areas. I also have tut ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I try to communicate concepts in a simple and organized way and provide "shortcuts" whenever possible. I also try to keep in mind my own feelings and experiences as a learner of a foreign language (for me, Japanese). This helps me to be patient and understanding of the pressures and difficulties my students face. I use my own experiences as examples when trying to illustrate a point and give advice as a friend would. Hopefully this injects some humor and reality into my classes. I think I have taken my cues from the Japanese kindergarten teacher model, which is that of a big sister. I take responsibility for my students and serve as their role model; I am understanding and patient. I care about the progress of my students because in a sense they are my family and reflect back on me.
I began working as an English teacher 6 years ago, when I was living in Japan. I had originally move ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught 5th and 6th grade ESL students for this semester, and I have taught English two summers in Korea at intensive English immersion camps. I have also tutored adult and college level students in English at UT while obtaining my degree and enjoyed it the most. Having quality one on one or small group time is the best for students to acquire the knowledge they need, and have instructors that can focus on their individual needs. Not only did I tutor students, but I also helped colleagues whose first language was not English with assignments and my college roommate who was from Taiwan. I enjoy writing and enjoy helping others express themselves in writing. I would love to continue helping others and become a tutor.
People have all different manners of learning information, and most people need a lot of visuals and real life experiences, especially if their first language is n ... read more
