My comments on tutoring English ESOL : Previous holder of certificate on teaching ESOL. Taught in China 1996 and 1997.

Try and create a connection between student and topic. Utilize various readings and real world examples to create connection. Not enough for students to memorize topic, want them to show proficiency and ability to use skills in application.

ESL/Spanish teacher Hablo español- Ich spreche Deutsch

I have taught ESL professionally in Mendoza Argentina for the Universdad Nacional de Cuyo, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a provate compnay (C&C Language Solutions). I am no stranger to a standard text book curriculum or large groups. That was very similar to my experience teaching at the University in Mendoza. Although i really enjoyed teaching for the private company because i had the chance to meet with the clients/students beforehand, discuss with them (in their mother tongue or in the target language) what they wanted to get out of the program. We would design a curriculum from square one and include their own special interests to make learning more fun. I like to include reading selections, internet and video portions, writing and most of all conversation. Most of my experience has been with young adults and adults. I have taught a few children ESL, but the majority of my clie ... read more

I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning. I believe all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. A few good educators can make a world of difference in a child's education. I strive to make a difference in all of my students' lives.

My style is audience-centered and flexible based on several factors, including: - number of students - age and level of expertise/prior background and subject matter proficiency - expectations (for example, adult learners are generally specific goal-oriented, seeking tangible and at times immediate results. - evaluative determination of cognitive anchors -- from what basis of understanding can subject matter be approached that will provide the best platform for learning and discovery.

As a teacher, I try to instill in the students a sense of ownership of the class, encouraging them to take charge of their own education, and not limit themselves to studying only the material presented in class. I try to teach by leading the students toward a goal by asking open-ended questions of them, rather than giving prescriptive instructions or dictating units of knowledge set in stone. I try to open students up to the concept of learning as exploration and discovery, a process that can be exciting and fun instead of tedious.
I love language and literature and studied hard at the university. I earned a Bachelor degree in English Literature and Spanish, a double major, and went on to complete a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Fiction).
