English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Fort Myers Beach, FL

My name is Barbara M. I was born in Hamburg, Germany and raised in Japan. I have been tutoring for the past six years in Cape Coral, Florida. I grew up in Japan and came to the USA after I met my husband. Having a Japanese mother and German father meant I was surrounded by both languages, becoming fluent in both. I earned my IB in German in high school and took the O-level exam at Oxford University in London. I passed the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test at level N2 and am studying for the N1. Tutoring is my passion. Learning languages can be challenging, but I try to adjust my lesson plan according to my student’s need. Through my years of tutoring I had students telling me how they were so excited that they were able to use what they learned from me. I do set goals for students and try to lead them with positive encouragement. Each student has their own pace of learning Japanese o

I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor. I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.

I have helped people with their English-speaking skills off and on and am very skilled in spelling and grammar. I've been learning Japanese for going on three years, as well. I'm aware that it's not a particularly high in-demand language to learn, but I am more than willing to aid in learning it if it is desired. Also, having graduated high school, I have enough knowledge to teach kids about the basics of science, math, and English. On the whole, I look for a rather creative approach when it comes to learning and studying. I ask that students be skeptical in all they hear and read, so asking questions as a form of studying will be essential. Just reading a book or looking at flash cards for studying purposes can prove to be tedious and ineffective. And putting what's learned in context is always necessary if the subject calls for any everyday application.

I am currently working with the Lee County School district as reading tutor. I tutor elementary and middle school. Prior to this I taught freshmen orientation (freshmen skills) to freshmen with the City University Of New York (CUNY) at Hostos Community College. as a professor I have assisted my students with writing skills. In addition I was in charge of the probation students and have assisted them with their poor writing skills. I was a Mentor and helped my mentees with English deficiencies. Although I was not employed as a tutor, as a student advocate, I have always "tutored" students who needed this assistance to remain in good academic standing. As a mother of two college students, one in middle and one high school I am constantly "tutoring". As an educator, I know that in teaching "one learning style does not fit all" hence, one teaching style does not fit all.I have experience wi

While living in Japan, I taught English to the Japanese nationals and was a teacher's aide in the Department of Defense Dependent's Schools in the special needs department. I worked directly with middle school children who had ADD, ADHD as well as other physical handicaps including Cerebral Palsy. I have 3 children that I have had to help with their homework and projects throughout the years. I enjoy working with children and believe education is the key to developing responsible adults. I believe the best way to teach is to relate the subject to the children. A child may not understand fractions but if you ask them to divide up a candy bar, they know how many pieces they want to split it in to and how many they want. I believe that listening is the key to teaching. A good teacher and a good listener is the difference between a child attending school and a child excelling in school

I believe the learning process should be enjoyable, engaging and productive. My teaching style is individualized, adaptive to my students' needs and goals and at the same time creative so that they would see how FUN and EASY is to COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY in English. I use a lot of grammar and exercise reference books as well as other supporting materials. My guidelines for tutoring are learning from mistakes, interaction and immediate application. In addition to my passion for teaching, I'm able to give clear instructions and explanations. I’m always trying to encourage my students to self-discover their learning capabilities and deal with the fear of frustration, because I’ve been there and I understand what they are going through. I have years of experience in tutoring students from kindergarten to high-school level, as well as teaching adults in English as a Second Language through pr

I love languages and my passion is to make it easier for my students. I understand that sometimes learning a foreign language could be intimidating, and I like for my students to feel comfortable with me. I believe in providing cultural experiences for my students. I always include hands-on activities to make my classes interesting for my students. I truly believe that once the student take ownership of this new language, it is not foreign anymore. I have loved languages all my life. I hold a BA in French and a MA in Translation, both from the University of Puerto Rico. I currently hold a temporary teaching certificate from the State of Florida. I teach Spanish in a High School and I teach English writing and grammar for ELL students at Edison College in Fort Myers, Florida.

I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year. I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build rel

I believe I am an effective teacher because I always prepare thoroughly for whatever I will teach, and I use a variety of means in teaching, in order to engage students on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic levels. When teaching ESL, I provide plenty of time for students to speak and practice the new language. I focus my teaching on both the receptive skills (reading & listening) and the productive skills (writing & speaking) of language. I teach grammar, verb tenses and morphology, pronunciation and vocabulary. While grammar or verb morphology may be daunting to students, I always make sure that they leave with some new vocabulary, which inspires confidence in them. I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from Trinity College of Florida. I went on to pursue a Master’s of Arts degree in Intercultural Studies from Alliance Theological Seminary.
