My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I have been teaching Russian and ESL (English as a Second Language) for over 10 years. A language lesson include a variety of activities that combine different types of language input and output. To become engaged learners, students need to understand that learning a language is not the same as learning about a language. Students need to understand that learning a language means becoming able to use it to comprehend, communicate, and think – as they do in their first language. I Keep the overall focus on communication, not error correction. I Teach students that mistakes are learning opportunities. When their errors interfere with their ability to communicate, they must develop strategies for handling the misunderstanding that results. I maintain the attitude that mistakes are a natural part of learning, I create a supportive environment where students are willing to try to use the language. When teaching students I use visual support like videos very often. Activities allow students to apply the knowledge they have gained with the instructor to situations outside. Activities include out-of-class observation assignments, in which I ask students to find examples of something or to use a strategy and then report back. I help students with homework if they had no time to do that at home. Students will never feel like they are alone in this journey of learning. - I am 100% fluent in English - I am professional with a great track record - I am actively tutoring others - I am able to help a wide variety of people (casual learning, business learning, etc.)

Spanish and ESL Enthusiast At Your Service!

I think it is important to help learners make early connections to what is being studied through discussion of prior experiences and related meaningful discoveries. I like to teach using acronyms, graphic organizers, and other categorization strategies so that connections are made between nouns and verb structures. For the younger learner I have also used songs, games, crafts, and movement to augment the language learning journey.
I became a certified Spanish teacher back in 1994, and I have been teaching for several years since mostly in the middle and high school settings. I also have experience teaching college age students. I have found that I enjoy teaching students of all ages and ability levels.

Native English/Japanese Speaker looking for learners!

I like to keep things informal, people want to learn a language in order to speak and communicate rather than learn cold informal grammatical points. I know learning grammar is an essential building block to the language learning process, but know that verbal communication along with open discussion is a must in any learning environment.
I have had a period of 7+ years studying and living in a native Japanese-speaking environment. I have learned a variety of dialects and have also worked as an interpreter in a Japanese town hall office. I also have ESL (English as a second language) teaching experience working with everyone ranging from youth to adults teaching them English in both a casual and classroom style throughout my time in Japan.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching and working with students. My teaching style most closely aligns with the demonstrator style. I show my students how to properly do a task or work through a problem and then I'll help them master the task or problem solution. It's important that my students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods. My teaching is performed with patience, persistence, and compassion. I am very easy going.

I am currently back in the Reading area after completing two years with Teach For America on Chicago's Southside. While there, I taught 9th Grade English/Test Prep and 6th Grade writing, which I loved! Two years ago, I graduated from Barnard College, which is the undergraduate women's college of Columbia University in New York. During my time in New York, I tutored many young children in English/writing and French conversation and grammar.Because of my content area, my tutoring strengths are English, writing, test-prep and grammar work. While in high school, I spent 6 months abroad in France, and continued French coursework throughout my undergraduate career. I am happy to tutor in French conversation. Thanks for reading!
