I love teaching ESL and learning about other cultures!

I have a bachelor's degree in speech language pathology and a master's degree in education with an emphasis in teaching English as a second language. I also have a TESOL certification. I have taught ESL abroad in Japan, Mexico, and Uganda. I have also taught ESL here, in the United States, as "one on one lessons" as well as in private language school settings. I love learning about other cultures and languages.

I was an English teacher in China, and I am fluent in both English and Chinese. I can help tutor people who are dyslexic and people with learning disorders. I can teach basic math, typing, as well as reading and writing English. As my mother could not speak English well, I've had lots of experience helping her with reading, writing, typing, as well as how to use a computer. I have a B.A. and can work with people who are preparing for their GED or ASVAB.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! Tutored immigrant students (elementary & adult) (see experience)

I have worked as an English tutor for elementary Egyptian students attending a summer program. I have been working as a student athlete tutor for French and the honors program for the past 2 years with varying levels of frequency. I have mainly worked with one athlete who is studying French. I also worked with a Brazilian immigrant for a short time working to improve his English. I have studied ESL teaching (experience above). I have 4 years unpaid experience as a children's ministry coordinator and instructor. I planned lessons and taught children ages 2-12. I have studied math up to the AP Calculus level with minor tutoring experience.

I believe the best environment for growth is a safe environment. My teaching style communicates clear expectations while at the same time allows room for the growing pains of learning new information. Encouragement and positive reinforcement can go a long way in motivating students. Some people learn best through seeing, some people learn best through hearing and some people learn best through doing. I want to creatively incorporate teaching styles that best fit the needs of my students.
I am 31, a Nashville native and recently married. In 2001, I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Social Work. In 2008, I earned a Master of Divinity by studying theology and translating ancient Greek and Hebrew. This required writing many research papers. Last year I lived in Turkey, located north of Egypt. Now I enjoy being back in Nashville. Over the last se ... read more

I enjoy enabling students to discover the abilities within themselves. I excel at being able to get students to find answers to their struggles by asking them the right questions, leading them in the right direction instead of doing the work for them. I have an uncanny ability to see the best in all students, patience, understanding, and flexibilty are virtues in tutoring. Each student is unique and needs an individual style of assistance. A solid educational foundation provides the confidence to reach goals, my desire is to help studetns dream bigger by showing them the true reaches of their potential.
At the age of 24 already possessing a bachelor's and master's degree illustrates my efficiency and determination. I have taught English as a second language at the high school level and politcal science at the university level. I am very personable and able to relate to various typ ... read more

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production, I used my AP-level English background to tutor international students at the college in English reading, writing, and speaking. Throughout my education, I have continually excelled in my English courses, studying everything from the classics to modern styles. My experience working at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in Public Relations strengthened my writing skills as I contributed articles and artist biographies to the Orchestra's 'Performance' magazine and e-newsletter. Currently, I am writing a book proposal for a client in the biography/memoir genre.
Something I have always enjoyed while tutoring is the moment that the student 'gets it'. In order to properly prepare the student for their future education, you must show them the importance of the process of learning. The idea of the process builds the ... read more

As a graduate of an elite Independent High School, I strived to be the best at every subject I pursued in college. I started my Bachelors of Music as a Music Education major, but changed to Music Business in my sophomore year. Both of my majors gave me the knowledge skills to understand many different areas of the arts. I also excelled in my English classes, where I learned great skills in grammar, research papers, and sentence structure. Over the last five years I have tutored students in Music and English.
I enjoy working with children of all ages. I feel that no two students are alike and it takes a compassionate and focused instructor to figure out the best way that a student will effectively learn. I am a very patient, kind, yet firm teacher, and I believe that gentle constructive criticism is the best way for any student to learn, regardless of their age. It is my personal go ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While earning my MA in English, I spent two years tutoring students in English and training/mentoring other tutors. For the last two years, I have been designing and delivering trianing curriculum. I have plans to return to Middle Tennessee State University in January 2012 to earn my PhD in Math and Science Education.
I love helping people, particularly children, reach their full potential by becoming life-long learners. Whenever I meet with a student, whether it be one-on-oe or in the classroom, I strive to identify his/her learning style and to create a connection to the lesson to his/her future experiences in the world beyond the classroom. I believe that education is the key to creating citizens with a sense of self-efficacy and a belief that one man or woman can make a differnce.

I believe that teaching should be student-directed. Teachers should pique the curiosity of their students, and act as a resource for the acquisition of knowledge. Whenever possible, education should be hands-on, interactive and should always stimulate -- not bore -- the student.
I started out doing nanny work in college. After graduating in 1998, I moved to Detroit, Michigan to pursue a career in language studies. I became the Language Training Director for a language services company. I supervised a teaching staff of 150 instructors who gave language instruction to businessmen and women who were relocating for business purposes. We gave instruction in language and culture, while providing relocation help to families who were settling in the US. In 2002 I taught American Literature and Conversational English classes at Oral Roberts University's University Language Institute. In 200 ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 not English. Teachers should be able to get to know each of their students and differentiate their instruction to help all of their students. Tutoring is a great way for teachers to get to know students better and thus better address their needs with quality instruction.
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 ... read more

I enjoy working with children and adults. My teaching style is tailored to the individual, as individuals learn differently and at various paces. I am very patient, and flexible. I believe that structure is necessary, without sacrificing creativity. I am a firm believer that when working with children, communication with the parent(s) is necessary. Parental input/involvement is always encouraged. I believe it also key to work closely with or in conjunction with the school system and other educators involved with the child.
My experience working with children and adults with Communication Disorders/Cognitive Deficits has provided me with an understanding and experience to assist others in many areas. I have an MS in Communication Disorders. This includes learning disabilities that involve language comprehension and expression, and problem solving deficits. I have also worked ... read more

I never thought about teaching, but as the oldest girl of 15 grandchildren I have been teaching someone something my whole life. I believe in positive reinforcement and repetition. Each person has their own learning style. You just have to find it. Nothing is too hard for anyone to comprehend. You must believe in yourself, once you do that, you can do anything whether you like it or not.
As a honors graduate, I have always loved sharing knowledge with others. I have worked hard and earned the distinction as an affable and thorough teacher and tutor. Throughout undergrad, I tutored grades 3-6 in Math, Science, and Writing at F.L. Stanton Elementary in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduating, propelled by wanderlust I ended up teaching English to Japanese students, 0-45 years, in Japan for three years. All of my students showed progress and a genuine appreciation for the materials. Having secur ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching, and I have experience working with varied age levels and learning levels. As a private tutor, I have also worked with many students who have varying learning disabilities, and I have used my knowledge to help develop techniques that help them learn too. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to express complex information to diverse groups of people in an understandable way. Everyone thinks a little differently and learns differently too. I practice patience and enthusiasm with my students. I work independently with my students to find out what type of learner they are. I create a friendly rapore with my students and use constructive criticism. Teaching through theory doesn't work with every student, so I often find ways to incorporate my students' interests into their learning. I believe that learning should be fun, so I always try to make my students laugh and en ... read more

In May of 2010, I will be graduating from the State University of New York at Oswego with a BS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In four years, I have gained valuable experience in working with children of all ages through tutoring programs and coaching. I have also been extremely fortunate to have gained experience through Practicum and student teaching assignments.
I am extremely motivated to teach and learn myself and this attitude is carried out in my classroom. I believe that if I am enthusiastic and have a positive attitude, then my students will, too. As an ESL teacher, I have learned that differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students is an absolute must. Every child is unique and learns at a different pace or in a different way, and therefore, I find it necessary to change lessons and activities to meet the needs of every indiv ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have a Master's Degree in Biology and English as a second language with a specialization in teaching. During college, I tutored students in biology and environmental science, and also helped them prepare for their English language exams. In the past two years I have taught anatomy and physiology. I am familiar with medical terminology and kinesiology.
I love teaching and working with people. I am very patient, creative and I always strive to meet every student's need. I always make sure the students understand the material before we move on - if they don't I explain it again in a different way and make them do further practice. I like to use lots of examples, real life situations and clues to help the learning process. I like playing games that help with learning. I believe that learning should not be a stressful process, but an enjoyable and exciting journey.
