Today is a great day to learn something new!

I am a full-time high school teacher with over 12 years of experience in education. I specialize in Science, but have experience teaching and tutoring most levels and subjects. Throughout my 12 years in public education I have developed many skills to accommodate various student needs. I have a love for learning and inspiring my students to be life-long learners by making content meaningful. Teaching and learning is successful when students not only "know content" but are able to create connections and demonstrate real-world applications.
I foster development of the whole student by encouraging critical thinking. My methods are adjusted to meet the students needs with an individualized approach. My goal is to promote self learning and help students develop necessary critical thinking skills.

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I'm a highly compassionate and approachable language teaching professional with a M.Ed in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). With seven years of English language teaching in China and three years of Chinese language teaching in US, I feel my most satisfying experiences come from a great rapport between students and me. I love teaching Chinese to learners that come from diverse cultural backgrounds and at different levels. Based on my knowledge of second language acquisition theories and applied linguistics, I design and conduct my lessons by employing differentiated strategies that meet students' strengths and needs to help them develop their language skills and bridge them to Chinese culture. My goal is to foster and create an open, supportive, and success-oriented classroom environment that each student feels safe and appropriately challenged and then can be self-motivated and engaged into their language learning.

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : English ESOL is part of my experience

Teaching for me is a sort of a key that we give to learners. with this key they open the gates of knowledge and imbibe all fields of wisdon and philosophy. I believe teaching is a big responsibility that we are burdened with.
As any student who was looking at the future with optimistic vision, I gave all my attention to reach highest degrees of studies. I have gotten a BA in english literature which enabled me to get open to knowledge about all what concerns various subjects, be it linguistics, grammar, composition. these are essential tools that helped in shaping the style and the know-how-to-write. then i got an MBA at JWU. i tutored students in english especially students exhibiting difficulties in english.

I received a B. A. degree in French with a minor in English. I have tutored two ESL students, one from Mexico and the other from Turkey through Literacy Volunteers of America. My teaching focused on pronunciation, reading, spelling and both students completed short story projects for the LVA yearly publication. I am fluent in English and French and understand how difficult it is to understand the subtleties of a language. I have worked as a translator for English/French. I am also certified as a Freelance Writer. I worked as a test script writer for software programs. Language is communication and it is important to be able to communicate effectively.

A Little Bit About Me...

Every child has his/her own learning style. I think it is important to first determine how each child best learns – either visual, auditory, or tactile. I can then tailor my instruction to the needs of each student. In general, I believe that people learn best by ‘doing’. I believe that students should be able to ask questions or discuss relevant experiences during lessons – this kind of dialogue makes the instruction memorable and meaningful to students. The key to one-on-one instruction is patience and understanding of the child’s needs. Little in life is as rewarding as when a child says, ‘Oh, NOW I get it’.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style remains positive and respectful to all students, even in moments of confrontation. I always try to encourage, reinforce efforts with support, remain patient and try to present an example for students to emulate. My style is authorative while being at the same time warm, accepting and approachable with a willingness to help everyone. The subject of English, such as grammar and writing, can often be intimidating to young people who fear failure. It is important to offer a viable, safe and nurturing forum for them.

As an educator for the past 30 years,I have always encouraged students to be the best they can be. There is no such thing as a dumb child. They just need encouragement and nuturing to do their best. As E.E. Cummings once said "It takes courage to grow up and become who you are." Through my teaching and encouragement, I try to help students find that strength.
I taught English Compostion for 10 years @ Johnson & Wales University; I taught Freshman Seminar classes for 4 years @ Bryant University; I taught @ Gibbs College for 3 years, and I currently teach English Composition, Reading and Speech for the Community College of RI. I am the director of the Academic Center for the Naval Preparatory School in Newport.

I use these methods with a dynamic demeanor and with positive re-inforcement remarks on their papers.I learned Portfolio method at the Junior College and have significant results with it.
