More About This Tutor...

I choose to become a teacher because I think educators are one of, if not the most, influential people in the course of someone's life. Every student has the potential to excel in any subject, and I believe it is important to find out how the student learns best and implement this in teaching/tutoring them. Teaching requires patience and determination, and I believe these are two qualities I possess.
I have spent the last five years in the United Kingdom working on my bachelor and master degrees in English Literature and Applied Linguistics. From 2003-2006 I volunteered at the University's Language Resource Center where I tutored international students on their English language skills (reading, writing, speaking) and study skills. I have just spent the past two months (July-August 07) working at a study tour program for Italian students. I was an ESL teacher and taught 15-20 studen ... read more

I have a distinguished record as an educator and recently completed a stint teaching Language Arts at a high school in Port St. Lucie. I have been successful as a high school teacher, training manager and senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. My qualifications include a Master's degree in Education and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. These degrees have been assessed and are deemed equivalent to similar degrees offered in the USA, by Joseph Silny & Co. I have contributed to the personal and academic development of hundreds of students.

I will set high standards for your child's learning outcomes but my expectations will be matched by my patience and willi ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Discipline in the classroom is something essential for me. I always take care of three main steps: warm up - where I review or introduce a new content, body - where I develop the topic with three or four different activities taking into account different learning styles and strategies and finally the wrap up - where I close the topic and assign the homework or any activity for the next class. Every single class is carefully planned becuase I always try to anticipate difficulties with the advanced students and with the slow ones...there is always a plan B.
I have been an English and Spanish teacher for 25 years. I have taught in all levels of education - elementary, middle, highschool and university - it has always been a great experience because I have learned how to deal with children, adolescents and adults. Teaching languages is a very rewarding issue because you can see you ... read more
