English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Barnstable, MA

I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other venues -- as an exercise instructor for youth, adults and disabled individuals, as a word processing instructor, and as an English as a Second Language instructor to new immigrants through Literacy Volunteers of America. I have used my teaching skills as an editor at several newspapers, coaching new reporters and correspondents. I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able

Having earned my college degrees as an adult, I am particularly interested in assisting adults in achieving their educational goals. I taught GED Preparation courses for seven years at the local Adult Education Program and assisted approximately 30 students in obtaining their GED. English and math were the main subject matter for these tests and study/test taking skills were reviewed. In my current position as the Executive Director of a local human service organization, I have flexibility in my schedule to meet the needs of a student. Teaching comes naturally to me in that I love to work with people (i.e. my professional career) and I love to encourage and inspire others to advance their lives through education. I create a comfortable atmosphere for students so that their stress level is reduced and they are able to focus on learning. At the same time, I make lessons fun yet s

My teaching career began in 1972, as the first elementary school teacher in a system that had not hired male teachers in many, many years. I taught all subjects to fifth graders for 11 years. My strength lies in teaching English. In 2008, I taught ESL for one semester to people from different countries, but primarily Brazil, twice a week. In 2009, I taught English to grades 8, 9, 11, and 12 at a public school in Namibia, Africa. I taught English for 5 to 6 hours a day to students who possessed different levels of comprehension. My career changed in 1982 when I became a residential real estate agent and stayed in this field for 27 years. Obviously, both of my two careers required good writing and speaking skills, which I possess. My teaching style revolves around making my learners, whether young or old, feel good about themselves and the process of learning. I understand that each learne

I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials for class. I believe technology is an important tool that can enhance the learning process when implemented appropriately. My Zen professor in college taught our class that in order to be a good teacher, one must be a good student. I strive to embody that principle. I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I

I use traditional style (I have a background in Latin)and proper English; I accommodate current usage. I favor limiting colloquialisms. One must write clearly and concisely. I do not use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech that is commonly seen in print. A dead metaphor such as "lend a hand", however, is acceptable.
