Russian to English, English to Russian tutor, translator

From Russia, learned English in America, as well as Spanish. Took lessons in college, received straight "A"s in all. Language is very much based on experience, therefore I know how to teach because that is how I learned. If needed, before the first tutoring session, I can provide my lesson plan. However, each student is very different from each other and I hope he/she is willing to learn, because I am here to teach and guarantee success.

i like to aproach the lesson with fun tactics so the student will be interested and paying attention.
i am a high school student. I have completed three years so far. I have always maintained A and B grades and recieved awards for attendance, grades, and extracurricular activities. I have always been bragged on about my personality, hard-work ethics, and ability to help others even when not asked. All my teachers have enjoyed having me in their class.

I lived in Cuba for 6 years studying medicine. I speak Spanish fluently from that experience although I was born in Florida. I love teaching and interacting with young people all over the world. I am culturally sensitive and I have a passion for language, medicine, and the arts. I would prefer if students have some basic background in the Spanish language because I focus more on conversation than grammar lessons.

More About This Tutor...

I love working with children of all ages. I really like elementary age children. I have a hands-on approach to education. I want kids to get their hands into activities so that they may retain things longer. Now I do realize that not every student is hands-on. That is the responsibility of a teacher or tutor to find out what works for each student and set the envioronment for each learning experience.
I taught public school for 4 years before getting a masters degree in Religious Education with a Concentration in Childhood Education. I wanted to complement my undergraduate Elementary Education degree. Therefore, I choose the childhood education concentration at seminary. Then I was a Assoicate Pastor for Children for over 13 years where I supervised paid workers and planned activities for a children's ministry at a local church. I had to maintain a budget for this ministry ... read more

My role as a teacher is one where I facilitate a process of discovery. When a concept is presented in a lesson, it is followed by practice. In my class, there is room for risk-taking, and the mistakes only help to clarify the idea or concept. I approach the teaching of Reading as a Whole Language process, and also as a set of applied skills. Even though phonics, vocabulary, context clues, and other skills are important, reading for meaning is the ultimate goal.
Summary of Experience I have taught for the last three years (2005-2008) at an Elementary school in Palm Beach County. I taught third grade. This is the grade level where students are expected to pass the Reading portion of the FCAT test in order to be promoted to the next grade. Therefore, one of my main responsibilities was to maintain records of the students’ progress. Prior to that, I was a substitute teacher in ... read more

As a graduate of Florida State University, my ambition to achieve my goals and the highest possible level of education has never wandered. I have earned my bachelor degree in Finance and Economics, which has required an ample understanding of mathematics and statistics. Also, thanks to my European background I am particularly gifted at learning languages and at teaching them. I am a fluent speaker of English, Spanish and French. I was an unofficial tutor in mathematics and French for some of my friends while I attended Community College, and I am very proud to say that their grades improved tremendously due to their dedication and my help.
I truly enjoy teaching, regardless of age or level. In order to succeed, I believe my students should possess a positive attitude when it comes to learning. Learning is about having the right attitude, and of course, the right help. I am flexible ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is a mixture of rules and rewards. I believe that most children are eager to please and will often work harder when given positive reinforcement. By given them rules you are also giving them opportunities to excel become well rounded individuals.
I have been working with educating children through various forms of community outreach for years. I began tutoring when I was in high school through the National Honor Society. I assisted students from pre-school to senior year in high school in all subject areas (Math, Science, History, English). This year I have been working with Americorps at Bond Elementary. The programs main focus is helping children who are below grade level to raise their reading scores. This has involved extensive training and certifications. I fill out weekly and monthly tutorial reports for each student to track progress. I am currently working ... read more

My teaching style has foundations in the Socratic seminar, where class discussions lead students to form their own understanding of the materials/subjects at hand. As students only retain 5% of what is spoken in lectures, I encourage students to follow a model of inquiry and responsibility for their own work. I support studying and reading at home in order to excel on tests, and offer individual assistance to each student. I also insist that parents take a strong leadership role in the education of their children, so that they may develop a yearning for information and knowledge. Lastly, I use the daily newspaper as reading material as well as topics for discussion and vocabulary acquisition. My goal is to help students become critical thinkers who take responsibility for their education.
Besides teaching language arts for the last four years in North Carolina, I have a lifelong i ... read more

More About This Tutor...

While living overseas in both Ukraine and Mexico I taught ESL through a non-profit organization for 4 1/2 years. In addition to teaching beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes to students of all ages, I did extensive one on one tutoring with students, and eventually conducted all new teacher training. In Ukraine I volunteered at an orphanage where I taught Bible lessons to children who suffered with mental illnesses, learning disabilities, and other consequences of severe abuse. Upon my return to Florida, I joined my church staff as a minister to middle school students, and taught regularly for 1 ½ years. Additionally I have tutored students in ESL, Spanish, Russian, and GED preparation. As a student in FSU’s rigorous Russian Program I have continued to utilize and study learning techniques, literature, and grammar. Finally, other coursework has exposed me to a variety of di ... read more

In the process of achieving a bachelors of Science degree in Psychology I spent time working in a lab as well as being a lead counselor in a private after school program. In the school, my duties ranged from helping with homework to planning structured activates. I also feel that I made a positive impact on the children and established excellent rapport with the parents. Through my studies I have gained an understand of science and good writing skills. As stated before, I have also taken part in lab and an experiment setting. Here I have gained valuable skills with people, data entry, trial and error, and multi-tasking in an educational setting. In the past I have tutored in Psychology, Spanish, basic Science, elementary mathematics and writing.
To be able to teach takes time and patience as well as numerous other skills, I feel that I have the qualities to teach children ranging o ... read more

I accepted this position because of the emphasis on helping youth develop their educational, emotional and social skills.

During my four years at Notre Dame, I majored in mathematics and gained alot of experience in various areas of math. In addition, Notre Dame requires everyone to take a broad range of subjects for general credit and so I have learned skills in writing and grammar through work on several research papers. In my spare time, I tutored elementary age kids with homework and this last summer, I spent five weeks teaching primary school math in Uganda. Lastly, for the last three years, I worked as both a group tutor and an individual tutor for the First Year of Studies program at Notre Dame. I tutored freshman in both Calculus I and II and feel very comfortable working as a tutor in any setting.
Since every student learns differently, I spend time getting to know their style and have found success in the past using several examples of problems, asking leading questions, and being prepared t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is mostly form-fitted to each child. I assess what level they are at, how quickly they learn, and what areas they need help in or should strengthen. I cannot stress the importance of patience when it comes to tutoring children, which I have an abundance of, having taught various ages. Also, having studied psychology, I understand that children are very sensitive to negative feedback. I have experience in how to give constructive criticism to children and how this can only encourage them to do better.
Although my bachelor's degree is in psychology, my interests throughout my education have been to study children; how they learn, how they think, and what I can do to help them better themselves. Because of this interest, I have tutored children for a couple of years some years back, and was recognized for my efforts. I have excelled in mathematics, English, and p ... read more

As graduating with a degree in the Psychology field I have come to understand children better. I understand that all children can learn, but there are different techniques in teaching that a teacher may have to use from child to child. Being a tutor you get to understand each child and work with them one on one and understand that specific child's learning ability. I have taught children for nine years and I am aware that children learn through a positive energetic person that makes learning fun. I have learned a lot going to a academically challenging college. I have learned grammatical skills, math skills, communication skills, etc. During the last nine years I have tutored children in all of those areas.
I enjoy working with children. I am a very patient person and I understand that children learn in different ways through various techniques. I feel that as a tutor I have to ... read more
