Arabic? Ta'allum Al-Kitab Al-Arabiyeh

Very interested in teaching Arabic to students with ZERO experience but a strong desire to learn. My expertise is introducing new Arabic learners to the language. I am a native speaker of the Levantine dialect. The Arabic language is ancient and beautiful. I studied Arabic at the college level. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the standard used for all Arabic media, newspapers, and publications. I teach MSA. I am very perceptive to individual needs. I have some material I prepared myself, as well as many texts, including the AL-KITAB I and II books that were developed and published at the Georgetown University Press. Bottom line. If you are interested in learning Arabic, I am interested in teaching. Lets get in touch.

Over 8 years of passionate, creative teaching and tutoring!

I have always loved traveling, learning about different cultures, history, ideologies and of course food and have traveled to over 16 countries and lived in 5, Germany, Israel, Egypt, Turkey and most recently México, where my Spanish speaking and ESL teaching journey began. I have significant experience in Mexican culture from teaching English for 5 1/2 years to learners of all ages from young children to adults. I have experience teaching all subjects in bilingual primary schools and English Literature for a year in a private IBO (K-12) school in Querétaro, MX. The subjects that I taught to adults included conversation, Basic English literacy, Business English, and TOEFL preparation. While living abroad, I experienced firsthand the struggles and daily frustrations of not being able to communicate my ideas, feelings or simply ask for directions or order from a menu at a restaurant.

Math, Science, Writing, and Critical Thinking

During my time at Colorado College, I worked as a chemistry tutor helping my younger peers traverse the challenging General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry course loads. But because of CC's rigorous alternative schedule--where you take one class at a time, for one month each class--it's necessary to learn to pick up new concepts very quickly, I often found myself being asked for help in classes I myself was taking. I never minded this, because being forced to explain something is the best way to ensure your own understanding of the concept. That is why I try to avoid directly answering questions my students ask me, instead dropping hints and asking questions of my own that guide the student to their own answer, in their own words.
My favorite part about teaching is the moment of sudden understanding that you can see in a student's eyes when they've got it. The challenge, of course, ... read more

I believe that every student can learn more than they think

I am a laid back type of instructor and use my experience and intuition to create unique learning environments for each student. I like students to express themselves in their studies, and I encourage each student to express their natural gifts. I have a creative mind which allows me to relate to many types of students and many subjects and to use student's natural interests as a starting point for learning new material.
I have taught for over 30 years in a variety of institutions, but mostly public schools. I am conversant in Spanish and have a broad range of interests and fields of knowledge, including English literature, Math, History, Science, current events and Politics. I have taught grades 3-12, and have experiences teaching all income levels and socio-economic backgrounds.

Spanish 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.

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a retired Boulder valley teacher and I have taught from the preschool to college level for over 20 years. Most recently, I worked as an ESL and reading teacher. My training was modeled after reading recovery and involved one year of supervised teaching one-on-one with children who were struggling readers. The goal of this training is to help children work with their strengths as readers, rather than focusing on their weaknesses. Children learn the strategies that they need in order to be successful, independent readers. The work I do with them is very focused and begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment of their reading abilities. I have six years of experience working one-on-one with children to improve their reading. I also have extensive experience teaching and writing with both native English speakers and second language learners from the elementary to college level. ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I have been teaching Spanish for 5 years and taught ESL for two years when I lived in Spain. I went to Spain to improve my Spanish and I recommend my students to study abroad! It is the best way to learn/practice the language as well as really get to know the culture. Right now, I am tutoring - working for myself and/or companies. Spanish is my expertise, yet, I can help, teach, tutor students in Middle School or younger in English, Science and Social Studies.
I am a fun, enthusiastic, caring, supportive, yet, particular teacher. My students learn whether they want to or not... I include a lot of games and activities which are fun for everyone, including myself! I have to have fun, because if I'm not, I know my students aren't having any fun. I care very much for people, therefore, wanting what is best for my students and for them to see the importance of learning another l ... read more

In my past I have taught many years as a tennis instructor and ski instructor. I also taught at a Federal correctional Institution in Englewood, Colorado in their Education Department in 1990 and 1991. i tutored inmates for their 8th grade equivalency as well as several others through their GED's. In 2002 through 2004 I also was the training officer for Star West Aviation. My teaching style was, and always has been to use humor and patience to bring my students along and to achieve where they had failed in the past. I found, especially in the prison system, that people achieve best when you make the work interesting and also within the student's ability. No one wants to feel stupid and there is always a tremendous joy in even grown adults when they "get it."
In 1975 I had been teaching tennis for the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department for a year and elected to a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My general teaching and learning philosophy is that every child has the potential for greatness, but that proper guidance and experiences are needed to reach full potential. Children are not just empty vessels waiting to be filled, but bring unique dimensions and experiences into any educational setting, which affect individual desire and motivation to learn and participate. The varied backgrounds of all children must be addressed and included in the curriculum to maximize each child’s learning potential and scholastic enjoyment. Even the youngest of children is constantly creating, adapting to, and analyzing his/her reality through active learning; thus any educational program should follow in this way. Educational programs should explore basic skills for successful daily living and future scholastic/life success, but should also allow for child interests to mold lessons and act ... read more

I believe teaching should be child friendly and as interactive as possible. When learning is fun, even difficult concepts become easy. My goal is to motivate children to succeed and teach them that they can do anything if they put forth their best effort. I strive to create an environment where students can focus feel safe to take risks. With positive reinforcement I hope to encourage and motivate students as well as instill confidence in them.

As both a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and a former teacher, I have a unique perspective with regard to the tutoring process. Similar to counseling, the ultimate goal of tutoring is to facilitates students' understanding of their learning style and to ultimately increase autonomy and self-sufficiency. This philosophy differs from others in that the goal of tutoring is not simply to help the child learn academic material and complete assignments; rather, tutoring serves as a means to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the self and how idiosyncrasies influence individuals' unique learning styles. My experience in both teaching and counseling has imbued a deep understanding of the importance of individual differences and its influence on the learning process. As a rehabilitation counselor, my expertise lie in my work with individuals with disabilities, particularl ... read more

My degrees are a BA in Comparative World Literature and an MA in Russian Literature and Linguistics.

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.
