My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I tutored ESL students for 3 years at an academy and privately. I am currently enrolled in a class to receive a TEFL/TESOL certification.

A student cannot learn unless he is comfortable and confident. My first priority before teaching is to make sure the student is relaxed and believes he can accomplish the goal. I also like to get to know my student to know what kind of learner he is and what he likes. My teaching style is "delight directed" whenever possible.
In 2001, I received my certification in Elementary Education from CCSU. I then substitute taught for the town of West Hartford for 2 years while I got married and had my son. He had a lot of health problems so the decision was made for me to stay home with him. When it came to Kindergarten he still had many health issues so we thought it was best to keep him home and I began to Homeschool him. Homeschooling has worked well for him and his younger sisters so I have continued even though his health is far better. He is now entering 6th grade. My oldest da ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have four semesters of calculus, numerous chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and liberal arts courses. I also have a temporary CT teaching certificate for secondary education math.
I believe any student is capable of learning any subject when they are taught in a gentle and patient manner. It is important to help the student gain confidence with the subject and to build his self-esteem. As the student increases his knowledge and problem-solving abilities his confidence and curiosity will also increase. Learning will become a lifetime pursuit.

A Little Bit About Me...

I understand that children (and adults) have differennt learning styles and try to tailor my approach to the specific needs of the student. The bilingual students I teach have a unique challenge in that the letters of the alphabet represent different sounds in English versus Spanish. I have a great rapport with the children and because they are receptive to my teaching style have been very successful.
Although I have taught, coached and tutored aorking professionals I only have one year experience actually teaching. Since I have been unemployed (July, 2008)I have been volunteering in a bilingual second grade at Hill Central Music Academy in New Haven, CT

A Little Bit About Me...

For the past four years, I have been a seventh grade Reading and Language Arts teacher in an inner city school. I love my students and my co-workers. I have only one class left to take to finish my Master's Degree in secondary education. I am also a volunteer ESL teacher to Burmese refugees. I was so inspired by my Burmese students that I traveled to the Thai-Burma border this past summer and was a volunteer English teacher there for two months. I am a passionate educator who fully believes in the power of education to transform lives.
If you were to walk into my classroom, you would see of extremely diverse students who are actively engaged and participating in the lesson. My classroom is rarely silent. I encourage discussion. I find cooperative, small group instruction to be extremely effective. I also like to give my students opportunities to lead the class so it is not always a ... read more

As an undergraduate at NYU, I earned that extra spending money by tutoring Latin. As my customer base grew, I branched out into mathematics and general study skills. After college I went to Europe to earn an MA in Linguistics. Upon return, I immediately began a PhD program, and I used my previous experience in a number of side jobs teaching English as a second language. Over the past 4 years I have tutored several individuals in English focusing mostly on grammar and writing skills. Several of my students have gone on to graduate degrees at Ivy League institutions such as Columbia and Yale Universities.
I love teaching people of all ages. My easy going demeanor and enthusiastic attitude have allowed me to make a strong connection with all my students. This connection is crucial because I have a what I believe is a traditional teaching style which emphasizes organization and ... read more

I enjoy working closely with students and their families to achieve the student's goals. I know that the definition of "success" can vary greatly, and have worked with students in many different situations--students on the verge of failing a course, those trying to advance beyond their current coursework, and students preparing for college entrance exams. I often spend months or years working with each student and enjoy seeing them progress academically and gain confidence. With plenty of patience and teamwork, I believe that I can help a student to achieve his or her goals.
My educational career was full of challenges that have given me a broad basis of knowledge for tutoring. In high school, I earned the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. I subsequently earned a BS in Ceramic Engineering and an MBA in Operations Management. I started tutoring in high school when I ma ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have worked with students at the elementary and high school levels who came from diverse backgrounds and skill levels. I have extensive experience working with students to improve their reading, writing and test taking skills. Additionally I am able to assist students in research for various areas of study. I am currently working on my Masters in School Counseling so I have a great deal of current experience doing research, writing essays and helping students figure out how to achieve their goals.
I enjoy the challenge of teaching to each individual student's unique learning style. I try to assess the student's needs and interests before developing a customized learning plan. I believe learning is more meaningful when it is active and student-directed. I enjoy finding new and creative ways to teach material and greatly appreciate student feedback.

I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provide consistent practice and celebrate small successes so that the student rediscovers how good it feels to do well. In addition to regular exercises, I take the time to explain how and why things work and what their applications are in life outside school. I believe that this helps the student understand the rationale behind their efforts and can spark more enthusiasm to learn. I also try to identify each student’s special talents and incorporate them into my curriculum. That way, they can learn to identify what they are good at and how to apply those skills to any subject.
I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny bla ... read more
