English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tripler Army Medical Center, HI

At this moment, I am a volunteer English/English as a Second Language Tutor at our community library. I tutor two elementary students in Reading and Writing two times a week. The younger student has a hard time focusing. I tried variety of things to help her. When we meet, I ask her first how was her day so I would know if she is tired or how long her attention span would be. After I try to ask her to read a small book that she picks. Then as she reads I try to assess her difficulty. I write down words she can’t read. When she is done, I ask her to write sentences or a story with the difficult words. Then she draws about it. I read the story back to her. I try to involve all her senses from visual to verbal in her learning process. The other student has a hard time in comprehension. I try to read the book with her and ask her questions about it. I get her excited. Most of the books she r

I was raised and educated in several countries , so I became fluent in several European languages, and began to love languages and their use in culture and communications. In the military and Us government, I was a language/area specialist, and then in my main career as a United Nations interpreter , I worked together with ambassadors , world leaders and organizations around the world, communicating in the UN official languages,English, French, Spanish and Russian, as well as occasionally in German , Italian and Portuguese on regional assignments. After my army service and early retirement from the UN, I returned to my greatest love, language teaching , and have worked for the last 15 years as a certified public school language teacher and more recently, for the last 7 -9 years, as a college language professor and instructor ( I still teach some classes at ICC in Honolulu and do occasi

Taught both English and Japanese as a second language more that 10 years in Japan and in Hawaii. My teaching philosophy is that learning languages as a second language is not only gaining knowledge of the language but also performing that is the most important and effective. For example, even though one reads a manual how to use machine, he/she does not operate without practicing. On the other hand, learning another language means learning another culture. Without teaching culture, social norm, and perspectives that people who speak the language usually share, students will have difficulties in applying their knowledge for real daily communication in the target language. Learning another language means that students need all skills, such as reading, writing, speaking and listening along with vocabulary and grammar knowledge. I try to focus on only some skills, however, I need to assign t

Teaching is as much a process as learning. It can be carried out most effectively only when it's driven by self-motivation. I'm in teaching because I want to be. It brings me joy... gets me excited in the morning going to work. Such zest in easily reflected in the way I teach. My students feel my enthusiasm; they witness my taking a personal interest in their learning. In a dynamic cycle of influence, we fuel each other in our educational mission... be it thorny tests, understanding of concepts, or simply, having fun. More important than anything else, my ears, and heart are always open to them... they teach me how to teach. An ideal juxtaposition of East meets West is vested within me, and lives through the knowledge of cultural ethnology, protocols, and languages of inter-continental roots. I am experienced teaching multiple subjects kindergarten, primary, secondary, tertiary, includin

I love teaching and believe that students benefit most from lessons tailored to their specific needs. I am patient and enjoy working with my students to determine which subjects areas they are confident in and which subject areas they struggle with. Learning should be an active process that allows the student to use a variety of materials e.g. worksheets, computer programs, textbooks, games, etc. I am a creative, flexible, dedicated educator and love to see my students progress through their studies. 10+ years of experience working as an ESL teacher, camp counselor, teacher's aide, and after-school tutor. Patient and enthusiastic educator! Currently employed as an Environmental Educator with the Hawaii Nature Center while pursuing my M.Ed in Elementary Education from Chaminade University.

I have earned BA degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. Throughout my course of study, I studied linguistics and effective teaching methods for learning second language. In addition, my practical experience at McKinley Adult Community School gave me some experience in teaching. I created lesson plans and activities for Pre-literacy class students,and I learned how to conduct lessons for students in beginning level classes. I like to teach language because I was also a English leaner before. I can understand the feeling and difficulty that students might have since I have the experience of learning other language. I am patient and also passionate. My goal is to provide fun and effective lessons to students. I will try my best to create or adapt materials for students.

I am a very patient teacher and good at picking up non-verbal cues from students when they don’t understand. I like to have fun with students because I believe that learning is most effective when students are engaged and interested. However, I am very focused and insist on students paying attention and staying on task until subject mastery is achieved. I understand children very well being a mother myself. Each of my children is different and learns differently. I understand that each student is unique and should be appreciated for his/her strengths. I teach students how to use their strengths to make up for their weaknesses. I inspire them to be the best that they can be. I graduated from Brigham Young University where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in English. Before studying English, I was an Electrical Engineering major for two years. During that time I took Physics, Chemistry

My favorite thing to teach is reading/phonics but I am interested in tutoring other subjects as well.
