Success isn't give, it's earned. You can Succeed!

I have taught Social Studies and Language Arts at the middle school and high school levels in Missouri for three years. I have worked with students that are considered at-risk, ELD, and students with special needs (including Autism, remedial studies, learning disabilities, and emotional disturbance disorders). I hold current and valid teaching credentials in both California and Missouri. I am in the last eight months of my Masters Degree at National University for teaching students with special needs. I also hold a Masters in Education in Best Teaching Practices, and Bachelors of Science in Social Studies Education.
I utilize a variety of instructional techniques to help each diverse learner succeed and excel. I believe the most imperative part of teaching is to facilitate a positive rapport with my students and have clear structure for them to work with.

A Little Bit About Me...

I was a teacher assistant to an English Learning Development class in high school for two years, so I got to interact with students who just came to America from other countries, such as Iran, France, and Vietnam. I'm also currently working as a language tutor, helping American students with Japanese or Japanese students with English. I am passionate about reaching out to others who are new to America or just need help with the languages that I know. I also studied abroad in Japan last summer, so I've gained a perspective of Japanese culture as well as their relations to America. When I was in Japan I also helped university students prepare for their experience with studying abroad in America by practicing English with them daily. I also acted as a translator for English speaking students with didn't know any Japanese.

"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 go ... read more

Before I moved to the U.S.in December 2014, I was a tenured lecturer in the Department of English, Thammasat University (Thailand) where I taught different courses covering a wide range of language skills, such as “Reading for Information”, “Reading and Writing in Business 2”, “Paragraph Writing”, “Argumentative Writing”, “English Listening-Speaking 1 and 2” and “English for Hotel Personnel”. In the classes that I taught, I usually had students from different academic disciplines and I strived to accommodate their diverse needs, interests and learning styles. I frequently created teaching materials to supplement the assigned texts. For example, I developed the course syllabi and created all course materials for “Listening Speaking 2” and “Argumentative Writing”, which were later standardized and used throughout the Department. I have also used an e-learning platform, Moodle, to enhanc ... read more

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! I have been teaching English for Japan for one year. I currently teach at Berlitz Corporation.

I currently teach business English and conversational English at Berlitz in Northern California. I obtained my Bachelor of Science from Hawaii Pacific University. The majority of my teaching experience comes from working for a year in Japan, with students ages 3-60, in small groups and one-on-one sessions. I enjoy working in causal environments such as a cafe, or online, to make the student feel comfortable. I am open to students of all English levels, from beginner to advanced.
I am fully fluent in English and I have experience teaching the basics and subtleties of the language to all types of learners: children, teens, and adults, beginner to advanced level. I have also studied French and Japanese to help me understand why speakers of different languages may misunderstand certain concepts found in the English language. Using my foundation of experience with my Berlitz tr ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

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 tactics. TOEFL and TESOL are my current speci ... read more

For math, I would explain the mechanics and techniques of how to get the answer. I want to make sure the student understands fully so I would also be asking the student questions just to ensure he or she knows the material well. For English, I would focus on practicing and discussion. Since it is a langauge, I focus more on practicality. I would also talk to the student and discuss whatever he is having trouble with so that I can give him or her tips to improve.
I have usually insisted in helping people who have struggled in English and Math. I would do my best to explain the material until the student would have a solid understanding of the material. I have helped so many international students in English. As for math, I would insist on helping friends and anyone who is wishing to need help.

After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts. I have taught English at the middle and high school level at high-achieving public schools in various parts of the Bay Area. I am particularly skilled at teaching students to construct persuasive, expository, and analytical essays, and at teaching students the fundamentals of grammar, mechanics, and usage. I am also available to assist in preparing for standardized tests such as the CAHSEE and the SAT.
I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with studen ... read more

I was featured in an article in the San Jose Mercury News because of the hands-on approach I take to addressing my students' learning needs. I customize my teaching materials to each individual and use a wide variety of techniques to address different learning styles. I keep instruction varied and lively, using visual aids, music and interactive activities to involved students in the learning process. When students master skills and knowledge, it empowers them and opens their horizons to new challenges. That is what I love most about teaching.
I have tutored a wide variety of students for 14 years, ranging from high-level executives and business professionals to students from the elementary to community college level. The reason my students have nominated me for a teaching award is because of the fun, inspiring learning environment I create to build each individual's confidence w ... read more
