Experience Summary
I have over 5 years of teaching experience. I taught high school English as a foreign language near Budapest for 3 years. During that time, I focused on teaching English language learners, helping over 150 students pass their EU fluency exams, teaching essay writing to prepare students for majors in English at the university level, and the skills they needed to analyze classic literature. Since returning to the United States, I have completed my Masters degree in Education with the University of Phoenix, taught pre-school and second grade. These experiences have given me the skills to not only teach higher levels of English but to also be able to give young students the tools they need to begin the reading and writing processes.
Teaching Style
To put it simply, I love teaching. I believe that every child can learn. The beauty of a private tutor is the one-on-one connection between the tutor and the child. The tutor is able to discover the child’s learning style and tailor tasks that will promote learning and also create a positive atmosphere for the child. I believe that learning should consist of discovery opportunities that create an exciting atmosphere and engender life-long learning. I believe all children are able to meet their potential and rise above expectations if given the proper guidance and opportunity. Good teachers can make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
