My comments on tutoring TOEFL : 12 years exp.

Simply put: My teaching style is student-centered, and so is my tutoring style. I start where the student is now, and go from there, working from strengths and shoring up weaknesses. Most importantly, I develop a plan of "action," by the end of the very first session, so I waste neither the time of the student nor the money of the parent/payor.
Over 20 years of experience teaching ESL speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary to levels ranging from literacy to near-fluency. An ESL training film was made about my teaching style in 2003 by the ALRC, Adult Language Resource Center in Arlington Heights,IL. In 2005, I patented a revolutionary system for teaching keyboarding / typing to both adults and adolescents. Concomitantly, 12 years of preparing students for the TOEFL examination. 20 years of experience teaching high school English---Grammar and Compostion; Literatu ... read more

TEFL/ESL Tutor

I teach using the communicative style. This style focuses on allowing the most possible talk time for the students and not a lecture style lesson.
I received my TEFL certification this year. I have taught in a classroom setting with very low level beginners and in a private tutoring setting with advanced students. Besides teaching, I have spent time observing experienced teachers at every language level. Classes and experience include lesson planning, and teaching speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

More About This Tutor...

I enjoy teaching children. I encourage questions from kids while teaching, believing that there is no such thing as a 'silly question'. I also believe that students have different learning curves and a good teacher can bring out the best in every child.
In addition to my degree in physics and electronics,I have several years of experience working as a scientist/researcher. I have also been a teaching assistant for graduate students while at MSU. Even though I have not taught in a classroom,I volunteer several hours a week tutoring kids at the local library.
