You can do this; you do it already by being who you are.

Open, friendly, inquiry-based. I would rather sit around and talk about a book with a student and see what they think of it and help them find meaning than just tell them what it means or go over grammar worksheets. That said, I also like grammar and its intricacies.

I have spent the last three year being a nanny and tutor for kids in a variety of age groups. I have worked with all kinds of kids including special needs children, group home kids, High school students in AP classes, and Dyslexic children. I also have taught swim and Flute lessons in the past. I really enjoy working with children and, form my experience, children really enjoy working with me.
I find it's best to get to know each child individually before picking a teaching style to use. Most of my students have been successful because I mold me tutoring plans around their individual needs

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a very strong passion of mine and I intend on continuously working in the field of Education for many years. I am a firm believer that every child has the ability to learn to their fullest potentional and it is my job to give them the tools to achieve this. I believe children learn best through visual aid, repetition, and example to ensure that the information has been received and retained for future use. Given the proper attention, patience, and guidance, every child has the ability to be successful both in and outside the classroom. Every child should have the opportunity to be successful in the classroom and I strive to help make that a possibility.

Since I have worked students with a wide variety of learning issues; I feel that I am well prepared to assess and deliver educational materials and instruction to any student. I understand that each student has his learning style and prefers specific modalities such as: games & puzzles, logical sequential, the arts, naturalistic, etc. Although those would not be the only modalities I would use to educate my students, I feel that I must acknowledge this and respond with a portion of the lessons directed at personal interest. Also, the student's learning environment is important. My students are the recipients of a positive climate where tangible rewards/awards are delivered along with praise, emotional support and encouragement.

Individualizing English grammar, composition, and lit. instruction became a teaching strength during 12 years in secondary schools. Skills for ELLs were honed by nine years at a Japanese university. I tutored adults in my “Have English-Will Travel” company serving personal/business needs of Silicon Valley firms’ foreign nationals. Effectiveness with L1 and L2 speakers is augmented by detailed assessment and diagnosis of skills, with personalized remediation for desired proficiencies. Living in three cultures and specializing in Intercultural Communication enables connection with a variety of students. Publications reflect funded investigation of language minority students’ academic progress and well-being in Japanese public schools.

My teaching style can be very diverse. Individual attention is needed for students who may need more direct teaching. While I can utilize other students for peer tutoring.

I am uniquely qualified for this position. I possess an M.A. in TESOL and have worked for years in various capacities, including at the community college level and voluntarily, with English language learners (ELLs)and English native speakers. I enjoy teaching and tutoring ELLs, which is why I take every opportunity to work with students both formally and informally. I am also keenly aware of what it is like to learn a new language as an adult learner. I am proficient in both Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and I am currently learning Arabic.
I firmly believe in catering my style to my particular student(s). However, I believe in involving my students in my lessons because I believe that this is the best way to both engage a student in his own education and provide him with a sense of ownership of his education. I am patient and believe that everything comes at its own pace, so I ... read more
