English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in South Dennis, MA

I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other venues -- as an exercise instructor for youth, adults and disabled individuals, as a word processing instructor, and as an English as a Second Language instructor to new immigrants through Literacy Volunteers of America. I have used my teaching skills as an editor at several newspapers, coaching new reporters and correspondents. I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able

Teaching comes naturally to me in that I love to work with people (i.e. my professional career) and I love to encourage and inspire others to advance their lives through education. I create a comfortable atmosphere for students so that their stress level is reduced and they are able to focus on learning. At the same time, I make lessons fun yet serious. Learning requires having an interest, having a goal and paying attention. With individual tutoring, I use the opportunity to individualize lessons so students are motivated to achieve. Having earned my college degrees as an adult, I am particularly interested in assisting adults in achieving their educational goals. I taught GED Preparation courses for seven years at the local Adult Education Program and assisted approximately 30 students in obtaining their GED. English and math were the main subject matter for these tests and st

My teaching style revolves around making my learners, whether young or old, feel good about themselves and the process of learning. I understand that each learner is unique and that one size does not fit all. I am especially interested in building, as much as possible, a positive rapport between the learner and myself. I understand clearly that a learner can become very frustrated when trying to absorb and comprehend information that may be foreign to him or her. I am easy going and have a good amount of patience. I do my best to make the learner think and be challenged, rather than just memorize. Nothing makes me happier than to see someone "get it." My teaching career began in 1972, as the first elementary school teacher in a system that had not hired male teachers in many, many years. I taught all subjects to fifth graders for 11 years. My strength lies in teaching English. In 2008, I

I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I have taught several French for Beginners adult classes. I substitute teach at the local schools, and cover all ages and subjects (some of which I am more qualified for than others, and in the event I am less qualified, I let the students teach me what they know). I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials fo

My teaching style is unique to each student's indivdual needs. I take time to recognize my students learning style and provide the need materials or teaching style based their needs. I prefer tutoring to working in a classroom because I can give each student the specialized one-on-one time they need to help not only keep them on track with their school's requirements, but also introduce them to better study habits that could help them excel in the classroom when they do return to school. During my years attending UMass Dartmouth, I recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Sociology with a minor in Business Administration. But I also gained alot of experience working with children. I tutored elementary age students in the star program and college students at my campus job in the Unity House. I also was the coordinator for the New Bedford Speech Academy. This program taught students fron 4-6t

As a graduate student, I was very much driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. I have earned a MS in Finance, which has enabled me to gain an understanding in many areas of math and finance. In addition, I have earned a BA in English, in which I have learned extensive grammatical skills due to writing research papers, along with essays in many various areas of study. Over the past eight years, I have completed my student observations at the high school level and have taught multiple ESL classes. I enjoy teaching children. It is my belief that all children can learn, but each in a different way. I am available to help your child find academic success and confidence. I am patient and considerate. My goal is to provide the best education for your child. I feel all children can meet their potential if they are given the appropriate surroundings and learning experiences. I

I have devoted my life to teaching English, reading and history, but primarily English. I have taught in both urban and suburban schools. I have taught Advanced Placement English Literature for over 15 years. I have also taught accelerated, college preparatory and basic levels in both middle and high school, but the majority of my career has been at the high school level. Throughout my career I have tutored students, including my own! Teaching involves a passion for one's subject, and this passion should be infectious. My style would be described by my former students as democratic and encouraging. I believe that all students can learn, given the proper instuction and parameters. I believe in the Seven Principles of Effective Teaching: therefore, I believe children learn the most when they are actively engaged in their work. My goal is to keep my students engaged in a learning envir
