Creative, Outgoing, Compassionate, New English Teacher

In essence, education is a means of identifying with the world through a variety of lenses. Evidence of learning does not always come through a student’s ability to perform well on a test or paper. While basic understanding of content is imperative to the success of all students, I also believe that the true essence of the written word is self-expression. Whether that is personal expression, expressions of society and culture as a whole, or merely the expression of the petals on a flower—students should view literacy as a medium for transformation. With this comes the full understanding and appreciation of language arts in academia and in society.
I firmly believe that the most vital ingredient for student success is passion. I am aware that most students do not walk into a classroom with this; which is why it is my objective to spark an appetite for the written word by focusin ... read more

SUCCESS, RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP!

I have been an educator for almost 20 years. I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher and immediately fell in love with teaching children with special needs. Desiring to continue to teach, I finished a Master's degree which gave me the endorsements to teach K-12 children with special needs. Since then, I have taught reading and mathematics to both children with special needs and regular education children at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. As I gained a greater thirst to do more to help children, outside of teaching in the public school setting, I bagan tutoring. Between teacing within the public school and tutoring outside of the public school setting, I gained a great deal of experience when it comes to identifying strategies that cause children to learn and retain what they have learned. After all was said and done, I finally capped my educational aspir ... read more

My comments on tutoring English : My mother was an teacher of English and Rhetoric; ergo, I have been grading papers for Seniors since the 3rd grade.

While I was a Rotary Exchange Student – South Africa | 1999-2000, I volunteered to tutor students of various ages every subject, except Afrikaans, and was very pleased with their progress, and enjoyed it. I excel in the Arts (Creative, and Graphic), English, Statistics, French, Social Studies, Reading/Writing (especially essay) and would be best for college prep (Highschool ages grades 9-12), as well as Creative Arts for all ages. Please see my profile for everything I feel confident to be at expert level of. I am confident I could dramatically improve any student's writing skills as well as their art abilities.
I adjust to the learner and speak their language, establish rapport through mutual respect, and try and make it as fun as possible.

My comments on tutoring English : I have had more than ten years experience in teaching grammar, reading comprehension, and writing for foreign students here in the United States and overseas.

My teaching style emphasizes active student participation in the learning process.
I am a professional historian who also has more than 15 years experience in teaching ESL and standard English courses. While I have been a community college and high school teacher for more than 20 years, I have also worked in non-teaching fields that have enriched the content of my lessons. For example, I have been a Foreign Service Officer, an Escort-Interpreter, a broadcast journalist, and a park ranger.

With more than 3 years of experience in French and English tutoring, I have developed effective teaching strategies to make students fully benefit from my lessons. Those strategies consist of explaining complex grammar concepts using real-life contexts, arousing students' interest in the material at hand, and encouraging students to continually practice the language. I have been tutoring college freshmen and sophomores at the Northern Virginia Community College since 2011. Concurrently, I have also taught elementary and high school students. I currently work as a language lab assistant at NVCC. In that capacity, I review and edit students’ French and English oral assignments. P.S. I prefer one-on-one settings. As always, I pledge to make my students' learning experience as smooth and fruitful as possible. Nils K

Hardworking, Efficient, and Productive Tutor

Strategic and fun
I'm a young student who enjoys teaching. It's the responsibility of the teacher, to cause the subject to come alive for each student, and that is what I love to do. Only through that, can the student fully grasp what the teacher is offering to them. Both the teacher and student or students can greatly benefit from each other, when things are done in the right fashion. The teacher perfects his or her skills and the student also gains whatever it is that he or she wants to learn.
