English ESOL is one of my top subjects!

I am a very fun and practical language teacher. From the beginning, I will help you become confident in your language skills and not be afraid to fail. Putting yourself out there when you are traveling or simply in the classroom is key to progressing with a language. I will use movies, music, videos, current events, and pop culture to create an interest in a new culture and country that will help you learn the language that much faster.
As well as being a certified TESOL instructor, I graduated from Smith College with a bachelors degree in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and Latin American Studies. My studies focused on language learning, reading, writing, and cultural history and studies in Spanish and Portuguese. I studied abroad in Lisbon, Portugal for one semester and was in intern for a summer in a sustainable village in the jungle of Panama. Before college, I did my gap year ... read more

I am first and foremost a teacher/learning facilitator, and secondly a computer lover. As a teacher I am sequential in learning points, and creative in presentation. I am good at finding first the 'starting point' enabling the student to better relate to the lesson. I can usually discover a reason for 'why learn this' for the unmotivated student. As a lover of the computer I join with the student in finding the milieu of available internet resources pertinent to our goals.
I earned a BA in Music from the University of California, Los Angeles where I also completed a post-graduate year required for a California life-time teaching credential. I am an experienced classroom teacher (3rd/4th LA City Schools and Casablanca, Morocco) as well as music specialist (LA City Schools) and piano teacher (California/Colorado). I also have solid work experience as an administrative assistant with ... read more

I am very passionate about education. I am a life-long student and my enthusiasm for learning is contagious. Each child has learning style and my priority is to discover that of your child's. My teaching approaches are quite varied and my flexibility allows adjustment, according to the needs of the student. I create a safe and fun environment for learning and endeavor to provide a good fit, so as to avail the most effective opportunity for your child's academic success. Emotional, mental, and physical well-being are aspects that I factor into my instruction, as well.
As an honor roll student, I upheld the highest standards throughout my educational experience. I took advantage of workshops and conferences, which were availed through the college, as well as those through my employers. My emphasis was literacy and my grammatical skills are stellar. Several college professors have enc ... read more

More About This Tutor...

For seven years, I have been involved in voluntary tutoring as well as professional tutoring and teaching. I earned my BA in English in 2008, and I am currently earning my Teaching Certificate and MA in English Education. I have worked with middle school, high school, and college students as a teacher and a private tutor. I worked as a tutor in the University of Northern Colorado Writing Center and received outstanding reviews from my clients and well as the satisfaction of seeing measurable improvement in their writing skills and critical thinking abilities. As a teacher, I held personal conferences, and I believe more individual progress was made during the one-on-one sessions than could ever have been achieved in the classroom.
I believe that learning is a very individual process and that teaching should be tailored to suit each learner's needs. My approach to tutoring has alway ... read more

I like the students to learn how to learn. While I will guide them, test them and occasionally point them toward appropriate reference materials, I do not do the work for them....that's their job and the only way they will develop the appropriate learning skills, self-confidence and a thirst for knowledge.
In the past,I've taught ESL, Health-care Occupations & Opportunities,both MRI/CT Applications. I also worked for AOL as an on-line teacher/tutor/mentor in their Academic Assistance Center.I hold two cleared teaching credentials one for Vocational Ed.and the other for Adult Ed. These qualify me to teach GED,ESL and any health-care related class. Currently,I'm working as a substitute teacher in Weld County, a grandparent mentor in Larimer County, as well as a part-time instructor at ELTC teaching courses in Medical Terminology and Phlebotomy.

Ever since I was a young college student, I have had a desire for educating young people and adults. I enjoy observing their enthusiasm upon connecting with a subject. I have earned a bachelor degree in elementary education, as well as an endorsement in the area of ESL (English as a Second Language). I have taken many courses in the teaching of both reading and writing. During the past six years I have been a substitute teacher for several school districts, donated my time at church helping the youth, and volunteering as an ESL teacher.
I look at myself as a conduit to childrens' lives. My hope is that I'll make an educational imprint in each individual I teach. I am kind, patient, understanding, and helpful. If a child is having trouble learning one way, then I'll shift my approach and teach in a different style. I believe all students can learn and with enough encouragement, p ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have an extensive math and science-backed education, including two BS degrees and an MS as well. Not only have I excelled my entire academic career, but I am a great communicator and teacher. I have taught everything from Physics to undergrad students to English as a Second Language to students in Korea. I have lectured in front of 100 undergrad students as well as tutored one at a time. I have tutored for most of my adult life, covering math, science, physics, engineering, English, and even computer training.
As both a teacher and a tutor, I have found several things to be important to a successful educator. First is engagement. I find it necessary to engage the student and involve them in the lesson. I've found that even something as simple as using props to illustrate a point helps the student understand the material better, but also be more interested in learning. Sec ... read more

I am fluent in six languages: French, Russian, Spanish, Italian, German, and English. I attended local schools and lived in those countries as a child, as well as worked overseas for seventeen years. My degrees are a BA in Comparative World Literature and an MA in Russian Literature and Linguistics. I worked as Coordinator and Trainer of the Language Tutorial Lab, training and overseeing tutors as well as tutoring in all six languages. I was a Spanish and French tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in NYC. I trained school tutors of English and Spanish in Russia and Vietnam. At CU Boulder, I participated in a semester-long pilot program teaching Spanish to students with dyslexia. I was a mentor for the members of the CU football team who were on academic probation, and tutored the group of 10 in Spanish and English composition.
I love teaching children and opening the ... read more

My teaching journey has taken me to many different places and I've had the opportunity to work with all ages of students from 3 year olds to college-age. Specifically I have experiences with students who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backrounds and also with students with special needs and learning disabilties. In the last few years I have tutored students one-on-one in organizational skills, studying for tests, writing and editing.
I find that students (myself included) learn best when they feel safe and that they can be successful. I believe it's important to teach in the zone of proximal development and build on a student's interests. The best way to do this is begin with activities that are fun and if it's possible, to access the creative side of the brain during learning to help students to relax.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love meeting and interacting with new people, children and adults alike. I have extreme patience. I believe that it is imperative to make the student feel comfortable in the learning environment. I would never embarrass a student for asking a question. So many times in the past, I have witnessed teachers ridiculing students for asking a question because they genuinely did not understand the subject matter, which prevented the students from asking any more questions in class. It is also important to know why the student, or his or her parents, believes that he or she needs a tutor.
Science, especially biology and chemistry, has always intrigued me. Since I was a child, I had always known that I wanted to study biology. I received a BA in Biology in May 2006 from CU. During my studies there, I focused on chemistry and received a minor in French. My coursework is quite vari ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As a former Peace Corps Volunteer, International Curriculum Developer and teacher I am convinced that our world is a classroom full of opportunity and information. I have experience teaching in varying cultures, assessing and meeting the needs of all learners. I have taught educational theory and facilitated teacher workshops. Additionally, I have taught basic to advanced reading, writing, math, and language skills to students ranging in age from early elementary to adults.
I teach because I believe in the impact a teacher can have on a child, and the impact a child can have on the world. I embrace each child’s personality and background, harness their unique strengths and talents, and foster growth in potentially underdeveloped skills to cater to the individual needs of each child. I am dedicated and experienced in meeting the “specific needs” of all learners. I am committed ... read more
