Improve your English based on profession, schedule and needs

I've always been interested in foreign languages and other cultures. While living in New York City, I hosted many international visitors and always enjoyed coaching them on their English. So a couple years ago, I decided to get a certificate in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at The New School in New York City. The program focused on practical techniques and emphasized lessons that integrate grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. During my time at The New School, I taught a small group of Chinese- and Spanish-speaking students for about eighteen months, and I also taught another group of Arabic-speaking students for about nine months. I returned to Western Pennsylvania in early 2014 and having been doing online tutoring for adult students since then. In my professional career, I've worked with Information Systems and have ov ... read more

Pittsburgh Tutor/Teacher

I have studied the indicated fields for over two years at high school and university levels. Also, I have taught English as a Second Language as an intern while studying abroad in London for one semester. For this position, I taught from self-made exercises, lesson plans, and individualised activities focusing on English comprehension, writing, communication, grammar, and literature.
I prefer to incorporate student participation as much as possible instead of giving lecture-style instruction to learn their unique learning styles and to understand more about my students. With this understanding, I will be able to understand how I can better instruct them and test them on the material being taught.

Speaking is one of my top subjects! I am an excellent public speaker, and I have taught many students how to speak proficiently. I have taught students in high school, given lectures in college, and have been requested to speak at a few events.

I am a great speaker, and I can easily relate to my students. I push my students thoroughly to reach their objectives, because I do not believe there is anyone who cannot learn a subject. I have never had a student fail on my watch, and I do not intend to ever have that happen if a student is trying. If you have the will to learn, I will see to it that you increase your grade.
I am a Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I graduated from an NCATE accredited university that has a rigorous education program. In that program, I was required to teach elementary students, middle school students, high school students, college students, and adult classes. I have been teaching for three years and tutoring for five years. I have taught multiple types of learners in multiple subjects with a significant amount of success.

I began my study of American Sign Language (ASL) at the tender age of 12, then studied Latin in high school with Mrs. Ellen Conrad. When I reached college, I continued my study of ASL while tutoring friends in Latin. I have studied Arabic and Irish Gaelic at the college level, and dabbled in Spanish, Hawaiian Creole, and various African languages. In addition to learning, I love to teach. I began teaching ASL while I was still a high school student, and continue tutoring friends in ASL and Latin. As a college student, I began teaching and coaching fencing to all age groups, but specifically students in grades 6-12.
My favorite aspect of coaching, teaching, and tutoring is the personal connection I build with my students. As a student, I did not adapt well to traditional educational settings, and so I seek to create a nontraditional environment for my students that involves ki ... read more

I hold a degree in Political Science, but I concentrated in international relations with a fascination for other cultures and languages. Having lived in both England and France, I have been forced to adapt to new ways of thinking, speaking, writing and eventually teaching, where I was thrown in a classroom of French students for which I became a role model of American culture. It was during this time that I decided to work towards becoming a teacher. Further,I am a university speech champion and have written many essays over the course of my studies. Some of which were presented to tutors at Oxford and critiqued on a weekly basis. Thus, my writing skills were formed during this time.
I believe that every student can choose where he/she wants to go, as long as they are given the tools to acheive these ambitions. I have a heart for children and love watching their minds emb ... read more

I love to teach and convey knowledge to children of all ages. I believe any child can learn when a subject is presented to them from a perspective that they can initially relate to. I am patient, positive, and encouraging in my teaching style. I believe in consistency and practice in a subject matter and to allow the student to discover many areas with my assistance. My goal is to inspire, encourage and effectively help every child that is in need of tutoring.
As a student in high school, I participated in a tutoring program for 2 years helping elementary school students.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a proponent of two things. First, encouragement. I always encourage the smallest success before I point out any failure. I never get frustrated or upset. I never get angry or disappointed. I know that encouragement breeds success, and success is the goal. Second, I speak to children as if they know what I mean. In other words, I never talk down to them. I almost feel as if I might treat kids more like adults than I treat adults.
I have always been very mathematical, even though I did little to cultivate it. One of my favorite classes in college was a statistics course I took, and the other was a logic class. I love to read books, and I enjoy chess as a hobby. Teaching is my true passion, and I regret leaving a teaching job to pursue a law degree, and I can only hope to pick up where I left off. I was a teacher/counselor at a teenage group home for 4 years. This was the most re ... read more

I love teaching and working with people of all ages. There are so many different ways to learn and it is vital for an instructor to recognize and identify what works best for each individual. I believe that each student should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. I am very patient and goal oriented. Educator's that take the time to listen to a students question help the students find the correct answer on their own.
After receiving a BS in Business Administration from a liberal arts college, I worked for several years in the business world. The majority of my work experience has been in the banking and finance industry. It was through these experiences that I realized my true passion for learning could be shared through training and teaching. The past two years I have been studying to earn my teaching certification.

As a young person, I thought I did not need to go to college. It did not take long to realize I was wrong. Over the next 20 years, I raised two children, worked, and attended classes. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA and a degree in Information Systems. As an education advocate, I have mentored school-age children with English, Writing, and computer skills. At my church, I taught first grade CCD for six years. As a student and marketing rep, I have an extensive portfolio of marketing and writing pieces. I have helped students write Essays and Research reports on any subject. Other areas I have tutored include organization skills, confidence building, computer applications, and study skills.
I love teaching people and believe everyone can learn anything. As a visual learner, I like to show and tell the subject matter. My style is very relaxed and I search for " ... read more
