A Little Bit About Me...

Hello everyone. I am an international student from China, and currently I am a PhD student in University of Florida. As a native Chinese, I attended the best secondary schools and that I speak standard, tactful Chinese. I have been studying and living in the US for more than 4 years, which makes me a fluent English speaker to easily communicate with. I started tutoring Chinese in 2011 when I was volunteering for the university language service center in University of Wisconsin. During my study in Stony Brook University, I also tutored several ESL students to help them get through the cultural and language barrier upon their arrival in the US. I enjoy teaching and making connections between languages. I'm also good with children.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! For 3 years I have offered Chinese international students my services to help them gain a better understanding of American culture and the English language. As a Mandarin Chinese speaker, I am uniquely qualified to make the transition from China to an American campus as easy as possible. For those three years my goal has been to make certain that the students I tutor are in the best position possible to make the most of their American education.

I am a firm believer that different people learn in different ways. Therefore, while I teach by my own set of principles I am always seeking feedback on how better to accommodate the manners in which criteria can be better understood.
Prior to serving in the United States Army, I was a successful entrepreneur in NJ. In 2003, I was recruited and after serving I returned to train troops at the Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning, GA. After returning home, I began working at a financial firm and became a licensed Investment Advisor and Asset Manager. I ran the Manasquan Edward Jones branch office until deciding to return to school. I studied Political Science at the University of Florida completing their International Relations program Cum Laude. Studies in International Relations focused on the international global economy, international agencies, national security, internation ... read more

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I am a qualified ESOL instructor.

I have always been a teacher. I taught swimming when I was 14 and French to fifth graders when I was in high school. I love working in education. I believe that all people, young and old, can learn and reach their potential. My teaching style is calm and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am creative. However, I have high expectations for my students and for myself. I find joy in learning and believe that teaching allows me to share this joy.
I have been a teacher for 40 years. I retired because family care-giving required my full attention. My studies prepared me to teach and my experience prepared me to meet the needs of each student. I am experienced in all areas of Language Arts; reading, writing, grammar and literature as well as elementary math, history, psychology and the arts. I can help students with the organizational and learning skills that are import ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My name is Wenjing Luo, a 24-year-old girl who is from China. I am fluent in English and Chinese. I have been living in the U.S. for three years. I first came to the U.S. to participate in a cultural exchange program when I was a freshman in college. It was at that time that I developed my interest of exploring another country with completely different culture from mine. After I graduated from college, I came back to the U.S. and got my Master of Education Degree at Vanderbilt University. During my two years of graduate study at Vanderbilt, I actively participated in lots of volunteering and intern opportunities in K-12 school settings. I worked with kindergarten, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and high school students by engaging in some activities, such as guided-reading, math tutoring, and game playing. These experiences provided an area for me to apply what I had learned in school into real-lif ... read more

I have excellent interpersonal people skills. I have a great passion for children and a sincere desire to help them learn. I was allowed the privilege to teach elementary, middle ,and high school as a substitute teacher on an as needed basis in the previous school year.
I love to teach but I really love to see children of all ages learn. I believe that all children can learn no matter their individual challenges. I prefer to work one on one with children or in a small class setting.

Hands on teaching and kinesthetic learning are key to success in my mind. I love to involve the student's entire body in the learning process. From their senses to their movements to memory device techniques in the form of song or poem, using alternative methods of teaching seems more effective in the learning process.
As a Cum Laude graduate from the University of Florida, I continue to hold a high level of discipline in every aspect of life. Whether it be at work, at home, or at school, I feel it is imperative to do your best no matter what the situation. Upon graduation at the age of twenty, I began teaching undergraduate courses for UF. This was an honor, but it was not challenging enough. It was not until I helped students with severe mental and physical disabilities that I felt fulfilled in my profession. Being able to teach student who are eager to learn, but have obs ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have worked in both General Education and ESE education. I speak spanish fluently and french, semifluently. I also have some background in American Sign Language. I have also worked with the emotionally disturbed child.
I use whatever works best for the child and can hold their attention span. It depends largely on the child's age, interests, and whether or not there are any learning, or any other disabilities. All children are capable of learning and enjoying to learn. I believe all children, whether normal developing or special needs deserves the same experiences, just delivered in different ways.

I believe that good teaching is an art. Teaching as well as learning should be fun. I believe in modifying the way skills are taught based on the interest of the child. Creating an atmosphere in which each child feels safe, valued, and is encouraged to be creative is the key to developing a life long love of learning. My goal is to lay the foundation for a happy and successful academic future for each child I encounter.
I have a total of nine years teaching experience in Alachua county. Due to my success with the lowest quartile, from 2006-2008 my entire class was made up of the lowest quartile of Kindergarten students in the school. At the end of my eighth year teaching Kindergarten, I decided to loop up to First grade with my class. I found witnessing the growth of students who could not identify the letters in their own name to reading 50+ words a minute to be the most rew ... read more

More About This Tutor...

Currently working on my PhD in English, I am passionate about writing and literature. While earning my BA in English, and later, my MA in English, I worked as a writing consultant, tutoring college students from various disciplines in one-on-one sessions. I helped them at all stages of the writing process, and also worked with students for whom English was a second language. In addition to writing skills, I am qualified to tutor in literature, and have taken several graduate courses on teaching and tutoring pedagogy. For the last three years I have taught college composition courses, for which I have always received positive student and administrator evaluations and was recognized with an award for teaching and academic excellence.
Having worked as both a tutor and a teacher, I understand the diverse and specific needs of individual students, and have found myself capable of meetin ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I like to learn where the student is (not the age/grade, etc) and build from there. Success for the student is very important because without confidence, we are all lost. I like to be organized with certain levels to be attained. Achieving those levels and goals sometimes calls for creativity and diversity. I like to think of myself as creative and adaptable. I have many materials which have proven to be very successful for building confidence and ability while filling in the missing gaps for the student. I am a firm believer in teaching through discovery and in providing a constructivist approach to learning.
I tutored children from the neighborhood so often, I decided to get paid for it. I received my Bachelor degree in Anthropology and my "lifetime" teaching credential (any self contained) from California. When I retired, I discovered I still wanted to teach. I was in S ... read more

I seek to help all students gain confidence in their writing and reading abilities. I have helped students in honing these skills in order to use writing for discovery, for organization, planning, and forethought, and for critical thinking. I find engaged teaching to be a wonderful experience, especially one-on-one and in small groups. Students usually direct my teaching style because I am present mainly to facilitate learning and to act as a guide.
I have taught writing at the college level for more than eight years. I have taught at two state universities, one of the top ten community colleges in the US, and a private technical college. I have taught both remedial and pre-college English, English 101, English 102, American Literature, Creative Writing, Technical Communication, and Writing for Management. I can help with study skills, with master plans, and with reading com ... read more

I graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors degree in Neuroscience. This degree has allowed me to achieve a great understanding of the sciences. I have taken math classes up to Calculus 2 and a variety of science classes. In addition to this, I wrote my own thesis paper for a neuroscience laboratory that I worked in for two and a half years. This improved my writing skills, lab skills, and critical thinking skills immensely. In high school, I tutored after school calculus for a year while in college, I have tutored fellow peers in science and math classes in which they had difficulty.
I love teaching one on one because I believe that is the most effective way to teach one person. By teaching one on one, you can focus on the student's personal weaknesses and strengths in the subject and mold your lessons to their benefit. My teaching style involves showing lots of e ... read more

As a student in the PhD program at the University of Florida, I have been very involved in academic pursuits. However, this personal endeavor reaches beyond my own experience as a student and extends into my professional work as an educator. I have been working in the field of Adult Education for students pursuing their GED diploma as well as Instructing courses in ESOL. This field has been a passion of mine and has enabled me to work with students of various backgrounds and educational stages.
My teaching style would be best described as creative and improvisational. Because I work with students from such varied backgrounds, I believe that the best method is one that allows for flexibility and at the same time incorporates lessons from several fields at once. For example, in both my GED and ESOL courses I incorporate music into my lesson plans. I find that music is an excellent av ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As an undergraduate, I earned a BA in English and a second BA in Writing, allowing me to hone my writing, discussion, reading, and analytical skills. I studied writing tutoring methods in a class setting while tutoring in our college's writing center. As a senior, I completed an independent study course, studying both writing tutoring theory and conducting my own case study research, which was presented at a research conference at the State University of New York at Albany. I have an excellent knowledge of English grammar and experience with working with students of all levels, including non-native speakers. In high school, I also tutored students in mathematics, English, and social studies, both face-to-face and online. I spent the last year teaching English to students at a teacher training college in China, studying Mandarin Chinese, and teaching short-term classes to elementary, ... read more
