True appreciation for Brazilian culture and Portuguese language. My lesson plans are focused on communication and Listening, Writing, Reading and Speaking skills development. I am Brazilian - born and raised in Brazil - and have been living in the US for three years and four months. I studied Linguistics in Brazil and I received my Bachelor's degree in English and Portuguese Teaching. Nowadays I am a teacher assistant and work at an American preschool. My experience is in teaching English as a Second Language and early childhood education but I would love to teach Portuguese as a second language as well.

One on One learning! I'm here to help those who know zero and want to start, as well as beginners learn and practice the basics of Japanese including the 3 writing systems, grammar, pronunciation, and native usage! I will provide some learning materials from an official textbook so you won't need to buy. No direct testing, though can direct clients to sources to hone your skills. Hello! Hajimemashite! I recently returned (June 2018) from my study abroad at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University, or APU! I studied and lived there for about three years. My major was in Asia Studies and Japanese Culture, Society and Media. I was able to get an equivalent of N3 on the JLPT(Japanese Language Proficiency Test). While i'm not natively "fluent”, I was able to live and navigate daily life independently. I was also a TA for multiple classes while I attended my own curriculum. Learning Japanese

My instructional approach emphasizes interactivity, use of new technologies, and a positive, "we can do it" philosophy that acknowledges writing s a process that starts with the creation of ideas, moves to refinement and revision, and ends with emphasis on correctness. In this approach, students who find writing challenging often discover that an emphasis on writing freely and creatively along with a focus on critical thinking skills, is the fastest way to improved written content and technique. I offer 16 years of English writing instructional experience. I have taught a diverse range of students, both in terms of abilities and cultural backgrounds. Instructional areas include English as a second language, developmental concerns, creative writing and poetry (I am a published poet), professional and technical writing. I have also provided SAT and AP preparation tutoring.

I am interested in teaching writing and language arts skills to students. My style is to adapt to the skill level and interests of the student and to work toward their own goals, whether these are to write a personal essay for college, to learn to write better generally, or to develop better overall English skills so they can move on to the next grade in school. I have 30 years journalism and communications experience and completed all course work for M.A. in journalism. I am the author or co-author of 14 books and hundreds of articles. I made a living as freelance writer for 15 years and had writing jobs on staff for about 15 years.

After 17 years in the classroom, I still firmly believe that teachers are born and not made, and that all people should develop a love for life-long learning in whatever their career fields or passions may be. My loves do include reading and writing, but with advanced degrees in adult and vocational education and curriculum studies, I also enjoy studying many other areas of learning. My teaching experience has included 8th through 12th grade students of varying abilities and subjects ranging from literature, grammar, writing, test taking skills, Georgia High School Test review, Social Skills, Etiquette, British Literature, and ESOL. Teaching is what I was born to do, and I enjoy working with students of varying ages and abilities. Approaching difficult tasks or challenging assignments with new ideas or fresh techniques can make reluctant learners receptive. I am patient, but not a pu

As a German native I'm just here for 6 years, but return to Germany every year to teach German as a Foreign Language in summer classes at a private language school. I mostly teach teenagers and young adults in group or one-on-one settings. Before settling on German as a Foreign Language I finished a Master in Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany. I tutored also whole families before being sent to Germany because of the profession of one of the family members. With two daughters (15 and 11) and experience teaching teenagers from as young as 9 years on I have the patience and experience to teach all children. In my experience all students can learn foreign languages given appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. As a current student at George Washington in secondary education I will provide a constructivist approach to learning and keep up motivation to reach an academ

My teaching styles vary depending on the student. I had one student who was an adult, moving to Ecuador for 2 years to work. I taught him the basics using methods such as flash cards, workbooks, and homework assignments. We met 3x a week for 3 months. In college I taught a Spanish course for a Christian Highschool near my university. This was rather different since the students were in their early teens. My method with them was 'FUN.' I used pop culture and things that interested them to help them learn. For example: I had them bring in a picture of their favorite celebrity and they had to describe the colors, clothing, and characteristics of that celebrity in Spanish. It was a success. Graduating with a 3.4 GPA in Mass Communications, I have always been creative in both design and writing. I have earned a dual BS in Mass Communications with the emaphasis being in both Public Relations a

The basis of counseling lies on allowing the child to develop at his or her own pace. This attitude, combined with my martial art background which focuses on self-discipline and self-control, allows me to create an environment which is nurturing but also motivating to the child to keep trying harder. I have worked with all kinds of students, from exceptional education, to gifted and talented students. At the College of Charleston, I mentored at a local Elementary school. My studies focused on behavior and learning, as well as a focus on neuroscience and the biological basis of behavior. After graduation, I was employed as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. At Virginia Commonwealth University, I earned a masters in education with a focus on counseling. I mentored at Moody Middle School, as well as gained a years worth of counseling experience at a local elementary, mid

My first goal as an instructor is to get to know the student. English, my content area, is very applicable to students' lives and everyday experiences and knowing the student personally allows me to relate the material to what they already know. I create a scaffold, building up their lived experiences to enable understanding before branching out and expanding their knowledge limits. I begin with the foundations and work my up. It is important for me to get to know the students individually so I can build a working relationship and a level of trust between instructor and student so that learning can take place in a positive environment. I worked as an Instructional Assistant with students in secondary English, History and Algebra I courses. I aided students with learning disabilities who were placed in mainstream academic classrooms and provided one-on-one instruction so they could h

As a honor graduate in counseling and psychology, I supported myself through undergraduate studies by tutoring with Richmond Public Schools. I've also taught an algebra readiness class through University Instructors as well as trained other tutors. I currently serve as a counselor supervisor at John Marshal High School where I review numerous reports and presentations for gramatical errors and superior content. I love working with children and adults. However, my passion lies with elementary school students and adult learners. I am patient, understanding, and clear with my instructions and tutoring. I strive to make a difference and believe that everyone can learn.
