My teaching style relies heavily on feedback from the client. I try to have a phone call with a student to learn what they are having difficulty with but also what their professor might expect from them. Then I get a good sense of their personality to understand the best way to get ideas across to them. There are often roadblocks to learning such as personal hangups or self doubt that must be addressed. Other times it is just a matter of understanding what the person does or does not get. You will see many ads by former or current professors trying to make a buck on the side. They are terrible tutors - they spent their whole careers having students beg them for a better grade. I have spent my whole life learning how to explain the most complex concepts to absolutely anybody. You will also see many people touting a related professional position as qualification. Many of them got t

While studying in college to become an elementary teacher I sought out many opportunities to practice my new skills and found them in all levels of academia from helping first graders learn to read to assisting my peers with their college papers. Since graduating, I have continued to find diverse ways to build upon my experience to become proficient in many areas. I have worked in settings in which children and adults know very little English as well as a classroom geared toward the gifted and talented students and finally overseas tutoring homeschooled children. Through my different experiences I have gained insight into how to motivate students to learn as well as strategies to help them reach success. Teaching is a joy to me and privilege I am grateful to have. I am a creative, patient, and caring person and I love to incorporate games and fun into learning while maintaining the seri

I tailor my teaching style to the needs of the particular student. Typically I will give traditional lessons, but will break up the curriculum into practical applications and I love to play games to enhance learning. I have extensive experience tutoring in reading, wring and listening in the fundamentals of the English Language. While in college I also assisted fellow students professionally, but the concentration of my experience comes from student-teaching in the United States and teaching independently overseas.

As a high school and university student, I regularly tutored other students in Spanish and other subjects, both professionally and on a volunteer basis. While I was earning my bachelor's and my master's in Spanish, I gained the skills required to help other students reach their foreign language goals. I was paid by George Mason University to tutor college athletes in Spanish. I have tutored elementary age students in every subject from math to literature and English to Social Studies. Through my experience with my universities' literary magazines, I have also achieved an extensive knowledge of grammar and writing and would be qualified to help students with their writing. I know that learning a foreign language is a challenge for many people and takes a lot of commitment for everyone. I know what it takes to get from the point where you are struggling with a subject to the point whe

I am a natiVe from France. I have been teaching since 1983. I started my teaching career in the French public schools, and continued in the States since 1989. I have a broad experience in the teaching of the language (elementary to HS). I am also an ESL teacher, and I have been tutoring students in several subjects over the years. I believe teachers have to use different approaches to reach a maximum of students' intelligences. The instruction has also to be interesting to captivate students' attention. It is also important to assess students' acvhievement regularly.

I believe engaging activities facilitate the learning process especially with regards to a foreign language. I also agree that assigning meaning to what a student learns is perhaps the most important aspect of teaching. As a teacher I strive to relate concepts to the student's life. Learning a foreign language can be the most rewarding experience for anyone because of the benefits it brings. In the classroom I do my very best to keep my students attention engaged and active in the daily lessons. I also promote daily checks of understanding so the student is able retain what they have already been taught. I have always enjoyed the Spanish language. As a Hispanic it is part of the culture in which I was raised and is also a point of pride for me. Teaching added a wonderful element to my life and since the moment I stepped foot into my first classroom I have thoroughly enjoyed working

By earning a duel BA in Spanish and Linguistics and a MA in Applied Linguistics, I have spent an extensive amount of time researching teaching methods and learning styles pertaining to first and second language acquisition. Understanding these learning styles allows me to relate to a wide range of students and discover what works best on an individual basis. I have applied these skills as a university writing tutor, as well as an editor for McGraw-Hill text books in the foreign language department. I am very enthusiastic about language learning, because I know understanding and utilizing language has the ability to influence learning across all subject matter. I am patient and methodical in analyzing the student's learning styles in order to identify the most effective and efficient presentation of the material. However, I am also confident that learning styles are co-dependent on te

I am a very motivating person and tend to use humor as a method of teaching. I teach to and with the child and never down to him/her. I break large components into their simplest forms so that a child learns to take things one step at a time and not feel overwhelmed. I make the learning relevant to what the child is interested in or knows about so that he/she can be more engaged in the learning process. We set the goal-a reasonable one yet with high expectations and together we achieve it. For the past ten years, I have been teaching High School English. I have taught grades 9-12 in Literature, Composition and Standards of Learning in preparation for the state exams. I have taught inclusion classes involving students with numerous learning styles and have always met and exceeded the expectations of their parents.

Each student is different, so addressing how best to teach each one will vary. I have found that the key to helping language students learn is first finding what will motivate them to learn. Learning a new language opens up a whole new world to the student, one they have never known before. Building off of a student's extra-curricular interests- sports, music, art, fashion, or anything else- transforms learning a language from repeating verb charts to becoming more apt to pursuing his interests in an international way. Upon graduation from school, I moved to Guatemala, where I was an English teacher to Spanish-speaking students for a year. While there, I was able to work on both my Spanish and teaching skills. I have since been able to help English speakers enhance their Spanish proficiency State-side. I am currently working on my Masters in Counseling.
