I completed a Teaching English as a Second Language certification program at my university, which incorporated a month-long practicum in Dresden, Germany, in which I observed classes at local schools and even taught some of my own. I employ the Socratic method of asking lots and lots of questions. I see a tutorial as not a time for a student to soak up information, but to engage the mind and use the tools he has already been given. Of course, if a student truly doesn't know something crucial, I will tell him. I always try to make my instruction at least a little bit funny, and to connect the material to the student's interests, because these factors are known to enhance learning. I have five years' experience as a writing tutor at my university, during which I wrote and presented papers at multiple regional conferences for university writing tutors. I rose to become one of the most respe

In general, I love helping people out as much as I can. Specifically, I am very passionate about the Arabic language and would love to have the opportunity to teach it to others. I am very patient when I teach anything, and I understand how difficult it can be to pick up on a new language. Also, I have friends who came to me with little English background, and I was able to tutor them to a full English understanding from their native Arabic language. Both languages are fluent for me, and I would love to help others become just as fluent. I have experience tutoring Arabic in an informal setting, along with a medical setting. I volunteered at my family physicians office, translating from Arabic to English and vice versa for patients who came in with little English background. Additionally, I work with International Language Bank and have gone to family's homes to help translate to them a

My teaching style is an extension of my personality. I am curious about the world and my curiosity is infectious, so I can easily raise a student's interest in a subject. I have a positive vibe, but I'm not afraid to give constructive criticism. However, I can do that without discouraging the student. I expect my students to concentrate at the task at hand. I am patient and I'm willing to work with a student until they get results. I get a lot out of helping people learn and gain the skills to succeed.
