My comments on tutoring Reading : Reading is one of the core receptive language skills. I teach my students various techniques how to become better at reading. I focus on helping them develop skimming and scanning strategies, gist and detail-reading skills. We use a lot of interesting content in class which is relevant to students' interests.
I've been working as a tutor and a full time English Instructor for more than 8 years. I have Master's Degree in TESOL and several teaching certifications including University of Cambridge, the UK and Trinity College London, the UK. I have been teaching language and communication skills to students from various backgrounds and cultures, ages 6-60, levels - complete beginner to advanced. My students describe me as a fun, creative, supportive and patient teacher who has solid expertise, wide repertoire of engaging classroom activities.
I adapt my teaching style according to my individual student's needs. I am a good coach and facilitator. I integrate my approach to teaching so it blends students’ needs and interests and my personality.
