My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I have a Master's degree in Teaching ESL and over 18 years of hands-on teaching experience.

My teaching motto is: “There are no bad students, there are only bad teachers.” Many teachers make the mistake of thinking that not all children have the ability to study a foreign language. That’s not really true. I firmly believe that every child can be taught if the teacher is professional and creative in finding ways to encourage him/ her to learn. During my18 plus years experience in teaching I worked out the main rules that I follow when planning and conducting my lessons: -Be informed, eager and enthusiastic with the subject. -Organize and plan lessons well in advance. -Make sure that every student understands in advance what is going to be taught before starting each topic. -Keep students actively engaged with all parts of the lesson. -Address each student by name and use praise often. -Have high expectations and show students that you expect their best.

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

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.
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!

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

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.
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'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

Fun, energetic, while producing results.
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 ... read more

More About This Tutor...

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

More About This Tutor...

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.

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.

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

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

A Little Bit About Me...

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

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
