My comments on tutoring English ESOL : Most experienced with Japanese EFL speakers

I have studied and spoken Japanese for around 12 years, speaking at an intermediate level. I understand the intricate workings of the grammar and vocabulary and can thoroughly teach how to speak and understand from logically comprehending its inner mechanisms (I.E. thinking in Japanese) which will make speaking easier. It is easier than it sounds, and simple to understand. Since I speak at an intermediate level, I can help tutor elementary and intermediate Japanese with essential foundations like proper pronunciation, particles and essential vocabulary. I am also open to any other questions you may have in the future. Since I intimately know the Japanese language, I am also capable of teaching English to Japanese speakers as well. As a native English speaker, I can offer help in common confusions in the English language such as pronunciation, definite articles and conjunction. I t ... read more

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : Many people in my team and many of my students speak English as a second or third or even a fourth language.

I have lectured in universities around the world from Harvard and MIT to University of Delhi and IIT. I studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford on the Radhakrishnan British Chevening Scholarship. I qualified as a lawyer in London and worked for a firm that represents the Queen and the Bank of England. In the US, I did an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, I teach a class on Political Economy at the University of California, Berkeley.
I am Socratic and like to make students think. My education is a classical Old World one and I focus on drilling down to assumptions.

Children say that I am so patient and relaxed. One little girl asked me last week, "how come I don't grate on your nerves? My mom says I grate on her nerves." Well, no child has ever "grated on my nerves" :) Children know I care about them and we develop a mutual respect for each other.

As a second language learner, I am keenly aware of the challenges in learning a new language. I am a native Japanese speaker, although I have attended a language school in Australia, and completed my bachelor's degree in the United States. In addition to my experiences in acquiring a new language, I also have experience as a preschool teacher and English tutor. I tutored junior high and high school students while living in Japan and am familiar with successful methods for imparting an understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and conversational skills. Furthermore, as a native Japanese speaker, I am fully capable explaining challenging concepts to my students in their native language to help aid comprehension.
It is my belief that language proficiency stems from extensive practice. Although I see my Japanese language skills as a useful tool in helping other Japanese speakers learn ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a University of South Florida college of education graduate I have a wealth of experience with teaching both in the classroom and on a one to one basis. I have successfully tutored students in english, reading comprehension, science and social sciences. During my internship I taught all manner of history classes including AP world history and Psychology. In addition I have tutored for 5 years at all age and skill levels.
My teaching style is to show students how to make themselves successful. By motivating my students to do their best every time I can help them exceed expectations and thrive under any situation both academically and socially. Many students focus on what they think they cannot do. What I teach them is to highlight their strengths and improve their weaknesses. I do so with the use of clear directions, constant monitoring, and positive praise. I believe every child ... read more

My training in rhetoric, speech, and debate has taught me the importance of speaking clearly and articulately. This means that I pay close attention to language and I try to bring out that quality in my students. Other methods that I use come from my time as a foreign language teacher. Here, repetition and practice of introduced concepts are key. It's not enough to simply pass on ideas and words, the student must engage with the material for it to become real. Even though I might teach to high standards I am a very easy going person!
Having graduated with honors from a top university, the greatest asset I offer comes from my real world teaching experience. During my tenure as a substitute I have taught at all levels, from kindergarten to middle-aged adults, in all subject areas. Even as a young person I was involved with teaching others; I first began as a teacher's aid in high ... read more

Accounting and business. I have worked as a tutor for Tutors of America, and as an Accounting Instructor for College of Business and Technology (Miami, Fl). With Tutors of America I tutored Math, Microeconomics, Statistics, Spanish, Algebra, and Accounting.
My teaching style is mainly to induce the student to participate discovering the solutions and "learn by doing", so the student can grab the concepts, apply it and test it. The emphasis will depend on the level of knowledge that the student have.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love to motivate and present information, that is unique. For example, what note or bill is the lowest denomination ever printed and has the portrait of George Washington on it? If you gave me the obvious answer of the one-dollar bill, than that would be the wrong answer. The correct answere is the three-cent note printed in 1862. The bill is still legal tender, although it is worth a lot more as a collector's item. I make my students think. For example, what would happen to you, if you took off your spacesuit on Mars? I'm running out of space, but I made you indulge in critical thinking.

When I teach children, my first goal and focus is to discover what their individual learning style is. My background in Special Education has shown me that being an effective teacher has more to do with teaching in an effective way for the particular learners. For instance, involving music in my math or social studies teaching for kids that are musically inclined is a great way to truly reach kids with creative learning styles. I love having children participate in hands on activities while incorporating real, everyday reading materials such as newspapers, magazines, recipes, internet etc. so they can see the importance of reading in life. I am committed to the belief that every learner is able to be successful at their own rate and with their own style being embraced.
Having completed my graduate studies in Special Education with an Option in Transition Studies, I feel that Ca ... read more
