English ESOL is one of my top subjects! Taught English ESOL in Japan for four years, working with students from toddler to senior citizen.

I have a fairly relaxed style, though I am flexible and can adjust to whatever will make the student(s) most comfortable.
I worked as an ESL teacher in Japan for almost four years teaching people of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens. The opportunity to live in Japan, coupled with study in university has also given me an intermediate level of Japanese. In high school I also had a position as an assistant teacher at a karate dojo, working with large groups of children of all ages. Additionally, having studied and/or worked in Japan, the UK, New Zealand and most recently Australia, I have familiarity interacting with people from wide ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds and can alter my teaching style accordingly.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was classically trained in piano but teach a combination of music reading and ear training. I can also teach you how to play by chord charts and lead sheets for band/worship music. My approach to teaching Spanish involves a combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Hello! I am a certified PK-12 Spanish and ESL teacher with experience teaching 4-6 grade Spanish and high school Spanish courses. I studied abroad in Mexico and love studying the Spanish language and culture. I have tutored students of varying skill levels with their Spanish courses. I also have over 20 years of experience playing the piano and over 10 years of experience playing in the church setting. I was classically trained in piano from the age of 5 but have taught myself to read chord charts and lead sheets. I would love to help you unlock the world of music and piano.

Fun and enthusiastic tutor in ESL and Russian!

I am a native Russian speaker with native-like English proficiency. I am a RUS<>ENG translator and have a passion for linguistics. I have taught ESL classes and tutored immigrants privately at their home. I am also available to teach Russian, wether it is for travel, advancing your existing knowledge, conversational practice -- you name it!
I like to figure out the easiest way for my students to learn. Everyone has different ways of learning things, so I like to be flexible in my ways of teaching in order to reach best results.

Hi Everybody! My name is Danyela and I would love to be your next tutor! I am a recent graduate of Western Washington University and also have completed two intensive language/volunteer programs in Costa Rica amounting to almost a year abroad. I am a near-fluent Spanish speaker who has a knack for finding fun and creative ways to teach and learn.

After receiving my degree at Northwest College in Kirkland (now University), I worked, enhanced my music skills, married and had children. From 1995-1996 I obtained my TESL certificate at Edmonds Community College. I tutored two middle school students from Korea for one year. Then I taught 9th grade English to 15 international students at Snohomish County Christian School for one year. I have also had the pleasure of voluntarily teaching 14 students English from Brazil for 18 months recently.
My experience of teaching the families from Brazil was very enjoyable. One high school student said that she learned more at our once a week class than she learned at her daily class in school. I liked incorporating songs and singing to reinforce grammar, which made class time fun. I emphasize conversational ESL and grammar practice. Teaching lessons involving practical life applicatio ... read more

The reason I chose to go to school for my teaching certificate is that I've always been passionate about learning. I think the best teachers are excited to constantly learn new things. My teaching style is hands-on as often as possible. Students remember very little information taught to them in a lecture format. I try to use manipulatives such as blocks, especially when teaching a subject like math or science. I am very patient and flexible and I love to smile. I believe every child can succeed and I will never give up on a student, no matter how much they may struggle academically.
I began tutoring in sixth grade when I voluntarily gave up my lunch recess each day to help in a first-grade classroom. I continued to tutor my peers in high school. After I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, I was chosen by the Mayor of Bremerton to te ... read more

I have worked in a variety of classroom settings, from a traditional 30-student class, to small groups, to one on one instruction. I enjoy working with teens to encourage them to tackle challenging subjects with confidence and enthusiasm. I am friendly, open minded and patient, but I am also firm and set clear expectations for performance and learning. Every student has different needs and learning styles, and I enjoy the challenge of finding the right approach for each one.
I have been a high school English teacher for over 20 years, teaching all levels from ninth grade through AP English. During this time, in addition to teaching all course content, I have helped hundreds of students write college essays, prep for AP exams, and practice for the SAT. I have extensive experience working with English Language Learners and am very comfortable working with students from a wide varie ... read more

I am strong supporter of communicative competence at all levels of language learning. As a tutor/teacher, I have used a variety of techniques to promote language learning. These techniques involved pictures, gestures, recordings and computers. All of these components used together can help support competence in both the foreign language and English for the non-native English learner. A clear lesson plan is essential. I support a lesson plan that incorporates a variety of strategies because there is no "one" recipe for success.
I have a strong desire to help students reach academic excellence. I hold a BA in French, completed one year of Foreign Study Coursework in France, taken graduate level coursework in Teaching and I have taught/tutored elementary students and adults in French and English. I have worked as a paraeducator,a substitute educational support person and foreign lan ... read more

What strikes me most as I look back at my education is how much of an impact a teacher can have when they make their subject relevant to their students. When I am teaching I try to find out what motivates each student as a person, in addition to what is motivating them to take the class. My goal is to find a way to present the material in such a way that the experience of learning is a journey of meaningful discovery that corresponds to the course content.
While completing my BS in engineering, I spent two years tutoring math, physics, and optics. During my senior year I was also able to teach a portion of two terms of the freshman optics class. During the last four years I have worked as an aerospace engineer, and as a private contractor. Although these weren't teaching positions, I believe that these experiences have given me unique opportunities to share my knowledge and wi ... read more

I believe that when you are teaching, you shouldn't simply teaching a subject, you need to teach how to learn. I don't want to hand my students a list of rules, vocabulary and answers to memorize. I want to work through different problems with them, helping them find and understand a larger scheme, see the logic that organizes the answer. With the right tools and the right attitude, all children can succeed, and, more importantly, learn to believe in their own capabilities. My goal is to help children find these tools and find this confidence in themselves, so that learning is a fun and exciting journey.
Growing up bilingual, I was always fascinated by language and grammar. After being admitted into a highly selectively liberal arts college, I dedicated myself to the study of French, Spanish and English literature, graduating with several honors. I had always enjoyed helping my fri ... read more

I love working with all kinds of children. As a third grade teacher I loved having: inclusion students, ELL children, Tit. I kids, and ELP children, all in one room. I encouraged many different teachers to work with me in my classroom. I enjoy meeting the needs of the full continuum of learners through the use of lots of movement, working with partners, and working in small groups. I use lots of praise, and consistent consequences for my management system. I love teaching.
I have taught special needs for 25 years, and third grade for nine years. While teaching special needs I worked with many kinds of students, including those with: autism, physical disabilities, downs syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, ODB, and many others. I worked in segregated and inclusive settings. I believe in inclusion, if it is done by people who believe in it and know how to do it. While teaching t ... read more

I try to avoid giving students an answer immediately, but rather try to pry the answer out of them with questions so that they can figure out the answer themselves. I see teaching as helping/forcing the student to think things out and make discoveries for themselves, not just being spoon-fed information. Of course, sometimes it is necessary to tell students the answer if all else fails (after all, it is important that learning is not a frustrating activity for the student), and rote memorization can be a valuable tool every now and then. Above all else, I would describe my style as being patient and trying to allow the student to have fun and be interested in the topic under study.
