ESL/Spanish teacher Hablo español- Ich spreche Deutsch

I have taught ESL professionally in Mendoza Argentina for the Universdad Nacional de Cuyo, and in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a provate compnay (C&C Language Solutions). I am no stranger to a standard text book curriculum or large groups. That was very similar to my experience teaching at the University in Mendoza. Although i really enjoyed teaching for the private company because i had the chance to meet with the clients/students beforehand, discuss with them (in their mother tongue or in the target language) what they wanted to get out of the program. We would design a curriculum from square one and include their own special interests to make learning more fun. I like to include reading selections, internet and video portions, writing and most of all conversation. Most of my experience has been with young adults and adults. I have taught a few children ESL, but the majority of my clie ... read more

Recognized ability to take complex topics/ideas and break them down into learnable and manageable sections. Experience teaching ages 16 to 60. Specialties include Chinese. ESOL, Political Science, Business, Speaking, Writing, Learning to Study and more.
Try and create a connection between student and topic. Utilize various readings and real world examples to create connection. Not enough for students to memorize topic, want them to show proficiency and ability to use skills in application.

A Little Bit About Me...

As a teacher, I try to instill in the students a sense of ownership of the class, encouraging them to take charge of their own education, and not limit themselves to studying only the material presented in class. I try to teach by leading the students toward a goal by asking open-ended questions of them, rather than giving prescriptive instructions or dictating units of knowledge set in stone. I try to open students up to the concept of learning as exploration and discovery, a process that can be exciting and fun instead of tedious.
I love language and literature and studied hard at the university. I earned a Bachelor degree in English Literature and Spanish, a double major, and went on to complete a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Fiction). As an undergraduate I worked at the university’s writing center, tutoring other students with various writing projects. I also tuto ... read more
