English ESOL is one of my top subjects! In 2012 I received my TEFL certification from the International TEFL Academy. Since that time I have been teaching English as a second language in Costa Rica with two language institutes. I have experience with all levels of English proficiency. My Bachelor's degree is in Speech-Language Pathology, making my specialty teaching English pronunciation and conversation. I believe that learning English should be enjoyable, so I cater my classes to each student's learning style and interests.

I, as a teacher, am a tool to help you understand language. My goal is to provide you with the means to comprehend and produce language in the way that most appeals to you. I take your learning style and develop a personalized plan that focuses on your particular needs and weaknesses.

English and Russian (as a Second Language) Tutor

I am an ESL teacher with 5 years of experience. I earned a degree that corresponds to MA in Philology and English language. Having graduated from Tambov state university in Tambov, Russia, i worked in a public lyceum and later in a private language center. Having moved to Mexico in 2010, I applied to an internationally acknowledged language school Harmon Hall and was offered a position of ESL teacher, which I accepted. Teaching English as a Second Language to Spanish-speaking students helped master my English to a higher degree. I also taught Russian, giving private classes in Mexico.
I use different techniques to achieve the best results with different ages and choose the best option for certain tasks. I am a friendly, sociable and patient person and I really enjoy teaching.

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I tutored ESL students for 3 years at an academy and privately. I am currently enrolled in a class to receive a TEFL/TESOL certification.

A student cannot learn unless he is comfortable and confident. My first priority before teaching is to make sure the student is relaxed and believes he can accomplish the goal. I also like to get to know my student to know what kind of learner he is and what he likes. My teaching style is "delight directed" whenever possible.
In 2001, I received my certification in Elementary Education from CCSU. I then substitute taught for the town of West Hartford for 2 years while I got married and had my son. He had a lot of health problems so the decision was made for me to stay home with him. When it came to Kindergarten he still had many health issues so we thought it was best to keep him home and I began to Homeschool him. Homeschooling has worked well for him and his younger sisters so I have continued even though his health is far better. He is now entering 6th grade. My oldest da ... read more

I am passionate about teaching and believe that every child can succeed with the proper encouragement, support and direction. I work tirelessly to ensure that my students reach their full potential, whatever it takes. I believe in teaching students to believe in themselves, always put forth their greatest efforts and encourage them to take pride in their work. I make it a point to set my students up for success, giving them challenges that I know they can master in order to build their confidence, before introducing them to more challenging content. I believe teachers have the most important job in the world, preparing children as the future leaders of our world.

I loved teaching and found it very rewarding. I have been told that I have the patience of a saint. This may be due, in part, to the fact that I have a brother who suffered traumatic brain injury when we were teenagers and interact with him on a regular basis. I also enjoy the company and curiosity of children. My approach to teaching is step-by-step. I like to keep things simple and make them easy to follow. I am a gentle person and believe that if students feel comfortable, they will ask questions. My objective is to ensure that when we complete a lesson, the student has understood the material covered.
As a college graduate with a degree in Accounting, I worked for IBM for 30 years. However, I was fortunate to obtain jobs that enabled me to effectively develop other skills that I thoroughly enjoyed. Those skills include both writing and teaching. In a systems supp ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that a love of school and learning begins with confidence in one's own abilities. Some find it easy, and others need a certain dose of encouragement and guidance to gain that self-assurance. As a tutor, I think it’s important to provide consistent practice and celebrate small successes so that the student rediscovers how good it feels to do well. In addition to regular exercises, I take the time to explain how and why things work and what their applications are in life outside school. I believe that this helps the student understand the rationale behind their efforts and can spark more enthusiasm to learn. I also try to identify each student’s special talents and incorporate them into my curriculum. That way, they can learn to identify what they are good at and how to apply those skills to any subject.
I have always loved to teach – even as a child in front of a tiny bla ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I am a well-rounded diversified individual with both corporate and academic environment experiences. I believe that each child is unique and learns in different ways. I value spending time with a child, forming a tutor-student bond, and the learning takes place from there. My teaching style is very interactive and supportive. I am very reliable and attentive. My strong listening skills also play a major role in my success as a tutor.
During the past 6 years, I have extensive experiences as a substitute teacher in the public school systems in both CT and FL. I have taught all subjects within grade levels K-12 including special education . I enjoy all age levels of children. In addition, teachers within the school systems have asked me to do some private tutoring for them for their struggling students. I find it to be very rewarding!

I have recently graduated from the M.F.A. program at Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Professional and Creative Writing. I completed my undergraduate work at W.C.S.U. as well, earning degrees in English: Creative Writing and Philosophy. After completing my undergraduate studies, I stayed at W.C.S.U. for my graduate work, and I also undertook the responsibilities of a graduate assistant. I taught two classes a semester and worked in the writing lab as a writing consultant, helping students with papers for various classes. In the writing lab, I not only honed my skills in detecting mechanical and grammatical errors, but I also learned how to teach students lessons in correcting and avoiding errors in the future.
I am a very descriptive and thorough teacher. I enjoy explaining subjects first, then writing examples on the board to encourage note-taking. Then I like ... read more

I am of the opinion that children should be given clues and lead on to discover answers to questions. In some areas I like them to memorize certain facts which will help them solve problems better. A combination of memorizing and deriving from basic known concepts will help a child solve any problem without having to sweat over it.
I am a Chartered Accountant and have passed the CPA exam. I have been working in the Finance sector for over 15 years. I have also had a stint in teaching while doing my certfication as a HighSchool Math teacher.I have also substitute taught for 3 years in various subject areas.

I enjoy teaching and my biggest reward is helping students achieve their desired goal. I always make sure my students are comfortable and relaxed and usually gain their confidence very quickly. Once I know what students expect, I work diligently to help them understand the concepts to experience academic success. I am very sensitive to the different ways students learn and make it a point to lead each one at their own capacity.
I lived overseas for many years and had the opportunity to work at a French University teaching ESOL. With this experience, I returned to the USA and finished my BS, and worked as a full time high school teacher and permanent substitute. I had the opportunity to be a high school English teacher for a private school, and tutored during the evenings and summers. During the last nine years I have tutored English, SAT prep, social studies, ESOL and study skill ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I went from the Boston Public Schools to Commonwealth School and then Wellesley College, and would have been lost, early on, without help from tutors. I majored in English and Russian and work with several communities for whom English is not their first language. I am also a freelance writer and editor and I help my children's friends with their college essays. I work as a substitute teacher with all levels and grades and teach everything but Science and Gym.
I am patient and approachable but insist on the value of completing assignments even if the student "hates" them. I am good at explaining how this will be important later, which turns around reluctant learners. I believe in explaining, showing, modelling, and then stepping back while the student tries, explains, and determines where the mistakes come up. I value resiliance, and bask in the joy of competence achieved through ef ... read more
