English ESOL is one of my top subjects! Possession of a certified proficiency in English

The atmosphere in class is friendly! I know how it is like to study a new language - I felt embarrassed for a mispronounced word or for being slow in reading... I will never make you feel embarrassed, patience and the hard work are the keys to our success!
The lessons are given at any preferable level - once/twice a week or an Intensive Course that will take your language skills to the next level. For my other clients' reviews please go to: www.Betterfly.com/kate_russian_classes. There is no a better way to learn a new language than with a native speaker. I hope that you'll join me.

I'll Teach your Student to Teach Him or Herself

I have worked as a tutor for 10 years in all subjects, especially focusing on ESL learners. Recently, I have worked in an ESL school (FLS International) with university age students seeking to matriculate into American Universities. Before that, I worked in South Korea teaching English. While employed at these schools, I also work part-time as a tutor- mostly for middle and high school age students. Many of my students struggle with time management, and this is a main focus in my tutoring sessions.
I hate lecturing! I do! This is why my tutoring style is very interactive. I don't like talking AT a person, I prefer to have a conversation. My goal as a tutor is to make subjects interesting, and also to make sure they stick- so you can do well on exams. I also teach study skills in every session, so ideally you won't have to rely on me forever. I try to give students tools th ... read more

Teaching can be a most wonderful adventure. I believe every child can learn. At times students or overwhelming with new concepts, and they need to be encouraged, and praise until they can accomplish the task at hand. I enjoy seeing the appearence of awareness on a childs face, when they have accomplished a goal, or solved a problem they had difficulty solving. I believe tutoring a child can be a powerful tool, and it can also unleash a potential genius.
As a graduate, I've been very blessed to have received a degree in Business Communication. In college I learned how to become a better educator, and communicate with them on the highest level. Although, I tutor in all of the academic areas, I also enjoy helping my student appreciate the art of becoming a good writer, and thinkers. My students are also encouraged to read for relaxation, and entertainment. Making the education process ... read more

What interested me in a pursuing a teaching career was the tutoring experience I gained in high school and college. I started tutoring high school students in basic mathematics and science, and in college I was able to broaden my tutoring base to Spanish and English composition. Regarding my 13 years of professional teaching experience, I have taught at the university, community college, and adult education levels. The courses I have designed and taught range from all levels of English as a Second Language to graduate technical writing and editing.
I strongly believe that a successful tutor/teacher must know how to recognize students' individual learning styles and capitalize on their strengths. With all of my students, I make every effort to create a positive learning environment and to build their self-confidence. I have tutored many intelligent students who have developed men ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Having grown up in Costa Rica attending a bilingual school, I am fully fluent in English and Spanish, and tutored language learners often in high school and college. I received my B.S. in Biology from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where I was involved in the Science Education club, and assisted in several university and state-funded after-school programs for middle school students. After college I immediately went into a PhD program in Ecology & Evolution at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA, and taught undergraduate Genetics and Ecology labs for one year. I am currently working towards my bilingual Single Subject Teaching Credential and a Master's degree in Education.
I believe in a student's capability to reach his or her goals, and find that students are much more rewarded through a learning experience in which they use their previous knowledge to ar ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have devoted myself to teaching as a profession for the last fourteen years because I feel a sense of worth in what I do. I believe that my role is that of a facilitator. My job is to help students define their goals, explore the resources they have at hand to reach those goals, and facilitate the process of meeting those goals. My choice to teach also rests on a foundation of community. As a college instructor, my worth is tied to more than the success of individual students. I strive to help students become an integral part of the communities in which they live, and I celebrate the fact that I play an instrumental role in the economic, social, and educational edification of my community.
I have more than 14 years of experience as a Literature, Language, Business Communications, Technical Writing, and Composition Instructor at the college level. I hold a Master of Arts degree in ... read more

As a college graduate, I want to keep using my skills learned while I was in College. I believe that teaching is a wonderful experience in such a way that you are able to touch someone's life by teaching them the subject matter involved. By teaching them, your are like a bridge to the student. You are providing a road full of ideas and challenges to the students. You are teaching them that by having ideas and challenges, this enables you to reach your ultimate goal of learning the subject matter. At the end, the student will learn to cope with the next challenges the student will be faced with.
I worked as a career counselor for 16 years. I was able to be a tutor for 6 years during this period. During those 6 years, I worked with high school students and tutured them in basic math. This period was very rewarding. Seeing the students go from third or fourth grade level of m ... read more

After earning my BA and CA Teaching Credential in English, my love for the language and subject drove me to complete my MA in English and Comparative Literature in less than two years. Such an intense program demanded that I not only be highly organized, but that my analytical, writing, and verbal skills be immensely effective, as well. Consequently, I successfully translated these abilities to the many students I have taught and tutored over the past six years. Although I have instructed students in all the humanities (even basic French), my expertise is in English composition (essay writing) and the development of critical thinking skills regarding English literature.
My former high school students used to tell me how much they appreciated my patience with them; modestly, I would have to agree with their assessment. I believe that individuals process information in different ways ... read more

I care about students and I love helping them develop skills that will benefit them in the future. I believe in recognizing that each child is an individual and that each child learns at his/her own pace. I am extremely patient, easy going, considerate, flexible, punctual, and organized. My role as an educator is very important, and I take it very seriously, because I want your child to succeed academically.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a tutor I feel it is my job to provide students with the extra help they need in reaching their educational outside of the classroom. I have always been very passionate for nurturing the needs of individuals of all ages: elementary and middle school students, high schools students, college students, and working professionals. I love seeing individuals grow threw the learning process, and am always amazed at how much I learn, as the tutor, from the students, as well. I fully understand that the needs of each student vary, as do the different ways in which each student learns. I enjoy using both out of the box and traditional methods of tutoring to make the learning process both fun and educational.
I have always been very fond of learning; I received a BS from California State University Monterey Bay and a MA from Monterey Institute of International Studies. Both degrees focused ... read more

I worked as a Bi-Lingual Aid Tutor for the Morgan Hill Unified School district for 3 years.

In addition to tutoring I also administered student assessments including pre/post testing, tracking scores, recording daily attendance, and student progress.
