English ESOL is one of my top subjects! I completed a Teaching English as a Second Language certification program at my university, which incorporated a month-long practicum in Dresden, Germany, in which I observed classes at local schools and even taught some of my own.

I have five years' experience as a writing tutor at my university, during which I wrote and presented papers at multiple regional conferences for university writing tutors. I rose to become one of the most respected and requested tutors out of my peers. I many credit hours of pedagogy and teaching methodology classes, both for Teaching ESL and Latin, and a semester of student teaching under my belt.
I employ the Socratic method of asking lots and lots of questions. I see a tutorial as not a time for a student to soak up information, but to engage the mind and use the tools he has already been given. Of course, if a student truly doesn't know something crucial, I will tell him. I always try to make my instruction at least a little bit funny, and to connect the material to the student's interests, because these factors are known to enhance learning.

As for my technical, web designing, and software knowledge, I have a background in computer troubleshooting, Adobe Photoshop, HMTL, Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, etcetera. For five years, I was a substitute teacher for grades K-5 in English as a Second Language, Special Education and Art classes. I used my communication skills to converse with and to translate Spanish/English language. I have a great joy in teaching student new skills and information and love to see how they catch on, in other words, have that light bulb moment.

After graduating High School early (Jan 2001) I did two semester at the University of Akron majoring in Political Science. After the events of 9/11 I enlisted in the US Navy (Jan 2002). I was trained at the prestigious Defense Language Institute (DLI) in Monterey CA, with follow up training in Texas. I then spent the next years working as an Arabic linguist and Intelligence Analyst at a Joint Service Operation. I specialized in Iraqi and Syrian Dialects. By 2006 I was a shift NCOIC (Noncommissioned Officer in Charge, basically a supervisor). I left the service in 2008 with an honorable discharge and started working for the department of the army as a civilian but filling the same roll. After suffering some medical issues I moved back to North East Ohio in 2015.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! I have 2 years of real-world ESOL teaching experience in Japan, where I not only taught at public schools, but gave private lessons to adult students.

I have a very strong passion for education and feel it is of utmost importance in this world. Given that, I always try my best to explain to students how what they are learning matters, and equip them with the tools they need to succeed on their own. I take what I do seriously, but also feel humor has its rightful place in the classroom or where ever learning happens.
I have two years of experience teaching and tutoring ESOL in Japan, in both classroom environments and in private one-on-one sessions. The age groups I have taught range from 1st graders in elementary school, to adult factory workers. I also have two-three years of experience tutoring college-level students in Japanese.

More About This Tutor...

As a mother of three teenagers with distinctly different personalities and learning styles, I approach teaching in customized ways that help them open up rather than close down when faced with academic obstacles. I have refined that approach when working with other students, as well. I believe a positive attitude is contagious, so I initiate conversations which enable the student to express whatever knowledge they already have in a given subject. Then we build upon that base of understanding, filling in gaps with new knowledge, eventually reaching higher levels of comprehension and mastery of the subject. Along the way, the student gains stronger self-confidence; a vital ingredient in higher achievement.
As a freelance writer and public relations specialist, I write for Air Shows magazine, The Villager newspaper, and online magazine Suite 101. My writing also appears in Fron ... read more

During my time at Ohio University, I excelled in a variety of classes and activities. Most of my interests involve writing. In English Literature and History classes, I wrote complex essays. I also took Journalism courses at OU's prestigious Scripps school, and wrote for the school paper. Outside of class, I have written for professional publications such as SCENE Magazine. After graduating, I traveled to China taught essay writing and ESL at a Chinese university for one year. Each week, I prepared lessons and delivered them to 200 students in an interesting way. I also tutored Chinese English learners in my free time.
My teaching style is an extension of my personality. I am curious about the world and my curiosity is infectious, so I can easily raise a student's interest in a subject. I have a positive vibe, but I'm not afraid to give constructive criticism. However, I can do tha ... read more

I have experience working with learners of all ages. My earliest classroom experiences while studying at Kent State were with Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes, and I have substituted in classrooms all the way up through high school. I have worked with adults in a GED prep and ESL environment, and my certification/area of expertise is with adolescent and young adult learners.
I always seek to individualize my instruction. No two learners are alike, and this often gets lost in a busy crowded classroom. I believe that the ability to tailor instruction to a student's individual needs is essential for academic success.

A Little Bit About Me...

I hold two bachelor degrees, a BA in French Language and Literature and a BS in Microbiology. I also have a certificate in African Studies and a minor in Chemistry. Therefore, I have a very well-rounded background in both the sciences and the liberal arts. I am also certified to teach English as a foreign language. I have worked with many non-native English speakers to improve or perfect various aspects of the English languages, including speaking, reading, writing, and listening comprehension.
I work with each student in the way that is best for their particular learning styles. I prefer a laid-back approach to learning, allowing students to understand at their own pace and make connection on their own. This does not mean, however, that I do not have high expectations for my students.

I love teaching, my mom was a teacher for over 30 years and I would visit and help out in her classroom when I was a child. In addition, I love children, I am friendly, patient and very considerate.

I first started teaching as a French Teaching Assistant at the University of Delaware, Newark. After this first incredible experience, I decided that teaching was the career that I wanted to pursue and went back to France to put into practice what I learned during my certification training and my experience in Delaware. I taught English during three years in France, 6 to 12 grades. I then decided to go back to the US and develop a different skill, Translation through a Master's. At Kent State University, I obtained an assistantship and part of my duties were to tutor the university's students in French.
During the years that I taught in France, I took many substituting jobs, which forced me to adapt very fast to different various language proficiencies, different expectations, and different situations. In my classrooms, students are encouraged to be curious, to be creative, and to ... read more
