TOEFL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Holy City, CA

Fun, energetic, while producing results. I have a deep love for youth and students as I see them as the light of the world. My duties as a lecturer for three years included test proctoring, full management in regulating/lesson planning accredited undergraduate courses as well as Masters courses. Grading, educating and motivating college students has become a part of my identity! Office hours helped not only my tutoring skills, but also gave me the privilege of getting to know my students better on an individual basis. I loved every minute of it! I am of course TESOL Certified, in addition to having a BA in International Relations from UC Davis. I’ve recently taken on the challenge and privilege of researching, proposing, and instructing a college level TOEFL class designed for my students coming in from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, to improve student test scores, and test taking tacti

"A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary" I think that this quote about teaching, in a way, reflects my idea on what teaching is all about. One can be a good teacher, whose characteristics encompass good knowledge of the subject matter, understanding the needs of your students, and the ability to apply this knowledge to students' needs. However, an effective teacher does not only pass knowledge on to her students, but makes herself gradually unnecessary: her learners become independent learners as they progress through a course. As a teacher, I always try to be effective in this sense - I foster independence in my students. At the same time, I strive for excellence which will eventually make me a better teacher. This endeavor caused me to reflect on how an excellent teacher is different from a good teacher. The conclusion I have come to is that a gap between a g

I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools that they can use to teach them how to teach themselves- something they'll have to do if they're considering college. I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age st

I have lived in Spain in college and visited in high school. I've traveled to Mexico, Aruba, Spain, and el caribe. I have taught Spanish, technology and beginning French for more than 10 years. My MA is in Spanish and Learning Styles, and recently I finished my cultural linguistic certificate from Stanford University. Currently I teach teachers technology when I am not helping students with their spanish or english homework. I have a MA degree in Spanish and Learning Styles so I just love teaching. My style is relaxed, as I teach a foreign language. I think feeling comfortable is most important when trying to understand a new lang. I also bring various techniques that include technology, short grammar videos, games, short cult'l videos, songs the STUDENT likes, texts from topics that STUDENTS like, and I customize each training session to get my student up to speed and able to underst

My tutoring style is described as follows: 1) I encourage learning by doing 2) I encourage learning by thinking: By interpreting ideas, sythesizing and analysing them and by critical revision of those ideas 3) I encourage students to reflect on their learning 4) I give precise instructions to my students: On what students should do, ways and methods for learning, resources they should use for learning. 5) I pack necessary knowledge and transfer it to students in most efficient ways: I prefer to use visual aids, demonstrate practical examples, write resources (summaries,extracts) for my students. To sum up, I would do whatever it takes a tutor to help students learn. Tutoring experience: I started tutoring when I was pursuing Bachelors in Science majoring in Math. I taught a variety of students of age group from 5 to 17. I taught Arithematic, Numbers theory, Pre- Algebra,

I love learning and I love teaching. I try to make each lesson fun and interesting. I value and respect each student as an individual and I have lots of patience. I try to understand each student's strengths and weaknesses and address them with the appropriate intervention. I like helping a student build on areas of strength and work on areas that need improving. I like helping students set goals and achieve them and I enjoy the process along the way. I really enjoy teaching reading and English as a second language and working with students of all ages. I have significant academic and practical experience which makes me qualified for these subjects.

What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and English composition. Regarding my 13 years of professional teaching experience, I have taught at the university, community college, and adult education levels. The courses I have designed and taught range from all levels of English as a Second Language to graduate technical writing and editing. I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed mental bl

My tutoring style is accommodating yet focused. I am keenly interested in what is relevant to the student, especially when there is room for creativity and flexibility in our tutoring times. I’m very prepared and organized for the lesson, but I am sensitive to students' input for each lesson. I strive to provide meaningful lessons and assistance to reach students’ goals. I incorporate games and activities with young students to review and solidify the students' understanding while maintaining a positive atmosphere. When the student looks forward to lessons, they are more willing to focus when the lesson is more difficult. With older students, I try to use relevant and interesting themes or material to keep the lesson enjoyable. From 2003-08 I taught piano and tutored children and young adults in the Vancouver area in French, Language Arts, elementary Math, advanced ESL skills (writin

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius. As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process fun i

I have more than 14 years of experience as a Literature, Language, Business Communications, Technical Writing, and Composition Instructor at the college level. I hold a Master of Arts degree in English Language and Literature and a TOEFL certificate which I earned before teaching for five years in Poland. Although my expertise is in adult education, I have a great deal of experience teaching at both the middle school and high school levels. I have devoted myself to teaching as a profession for the last fourteen years because I feel a sense of worth in what I do. I believe that my role is that of a facilitator. My job is to help students define their goals, explore the resources they have at hand to reach those goals, and facilitate the process of meeting those goals. My choice to teach also rests on a foundation of community. As a college instructor, my worth is tied to more than the suc
