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

Spelling is one of my top subjects!

In teaching/tutoring ESL, I focus on grammar, writing, vocabulary, speaking, listening and conversational fluency. For English, I help with spelling, vocabulary, and reading/comprehension. I help students realize that they already know something and help them feel like they are capable of mastering the subject at hand.
I have taught and tutored elementary, middle, high school and college level students. I have also taught adults ESL. I have administered tests and evaluated students. I have taught in classrooms for both intensive and non-intensive programs. I have taught corporate clients. I have classroom experience as well as teaching small groups and individuals. Developed curriculum with interactive language activities

I have had some training in specialized reading training from the Wilson Academy and I am currently earning my certification for teaching students with reading difficulties. I have certifications in Elementary Education, ESOL, ESE, Reading K-12 and English 6-12. I am also a Certified Gifted Teacher. I have also been a Career Counselor and have worked with adults and college aged students. I try to make learning fun and I am flexible with working with struggling students.

Individualized Instruction for Unique Learners

16 years of Public School Teaching Experience 15 years of Preschool Education Teacher I taught students with various special needs in a public school system for sixteen years. I left teaching to raise my son and then to raise my step children.

More About This Tutor...

My preferred teaching style for high school and college students is informal and discussion-centered, based on mutually agreed-upon goals. For teaching reading, I use a phonics-based method, which my father used when he taught me to read when I was 5, and which I used to teach my children to read. I seek to engage children, draw them out, and show them that not only is learning fun, but that it is actually useful.
Seasoned professional with extensive professional experience in international affairs (US and world history, political science, geography). Over 15 years of professional experience as writer/editor. Expert briefing designer and public speaker. Have taught university undergraduate and graduate courses. Taught my children to read before 1st Grade.

"Je suis un client de la langue française"

As it relates to French Language skills, I completed 4 years of French in high school and 2 years (thus far) at Stony Brook University- currently taking 400-level courses in French Literature. In my Fall Semester of 2013, I attended the Universite de la Sorbonne (IV) as a Stofy Abroad semester, wherein I recieved my Certificate of Completion, passing High-Intermediate French Language courses, including Grammar, Phonetics, 17th and 18th Century French Literature, and Art History.
I believe in incorporating multiple methods of teaching language, and with such a complex topic as learning a second, or even third language I also believe in tailoring said methods to the student's specific needs. For example, if one finds a kindred with music, introducing them to french songs would be one of the stronger ways to accomplish fluency and language recognition. Depending on the student's age, ... read more
