English as a Second Language Teacher

After obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies, I taught English as an additional language for one full year in Madrid, Spain. After I returned to the U.S. to obtain my Master's of Education degree in English as a Second Language. I currently teach adults and secondary students. Teaching has become a strong passion of mine and I look forward to continuing education in my field.
I currently teach individual adults and secondary students. I am flexible with my teaching style, in which I can teach group or individual lessons.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects!

I am a senior college student at The University of Alabama. I speak English and Arabic fluently and fully confident with the basics of the French language. I am also a McNair Scholar and I conduct academic and professional research. Besides being a student and a scholar, I volunteer my free time to tutor students. Because I enjoying tutoring I most of the time don't charge the students. I certainly have a passion to help students and have been tutoring for years.
I am very patient. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my clients are comfortable with me. Therefore, my teaching style really depends on the client. I teach which way will be best for my client. Before I begin teaching, I tend to ask my clients about their studying habits in order to understand the ways the best help them succeed and, also to see if there's any improvement need to be taking.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching middle and high school level students. I also enjoy working with adult English language learners. I believe to be successful in teaching, a teacher has to keep an open mind, because each student is different and his/her learning strategy is different. I believe collaborative method works best for students, because students will have to opportunity to learn from their peers in the classroom. Before beginning a lesson, a teacher has to find out the level of his/her student. Once the teacher is aware of the weakness and strength of her/his students, she/he can organize the group in the classroom. If the student is in lower level, then a traditional approach works better to start a lesson.

I use an intercultural (as opposed to assimilationist) perspective, knowing that language teachers also teach culture; this is not only desirable, it is probably unavoidable. We cannot allow the material on testing instruments to dictate the entire scope of what we teach. I still find it difficult to convince many people that literacy, strictly speaking, is usually not the challenge adult ELLs face. Their challenges usually consist in expanding the English they learned in school, so that it becomes useful for academic purposes, or for basic life-skills in a new country.
I am an August 2009 graduate of the Adult Education/ESL program at the University of Alabama—Birmingham. I chose to study adult ESOL because I believed it would complement my undergraduate academic background in International Studies, and I have never been disappointed. Since the summer of 2006, I have ser ... read more

As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I have been involved in a learning program my entire life. As we knock on individuals doors daily, we come across individuals who cannot read. With simple material and pinpoint techniques, we can teach these individuals to read fluently. I have volunteered in the English and Spanish fields for a combined 13 years. I have an Associates of Applied Science in Architecture Design and a Certification in Architectural/Civil Drafting. I received my TESOL from the Canadian Institute of English. I attended an intense one week course where I had to not only be the student but also the teacher.
Children need a good foundation to learning. My program of teaching includes vocabulary, grammar, composition, reading, and pronunciation. Of these skills the most important are reading and correct pronunciation. I incorporate TESOL methods such as The Communicative Appr ... read more

I like to take a 'backdoor' approach with my students by creating activities that are interesting and fun. I think this helps in changing the student's attitude from a negative to a positive one. I do believe everyone can learn and that it is my job to help facilitate this. I like to vary my teaching style while using interactive, kinetic, audial, visual and explorer type methods. This helps me find what works for individual students. I'm energetic but patient and positive. I think it is important to encourage a student's effort not just his/her outcome.

More About This Tutor...

Having always been intrigued by language, I have spent the majority of my life learning and teaching language skills. Beginning with study abroad, I learned how important communication is. Language unites one person to another, or one culture to another culture worlds apart. After pursuing a master’s degree in German literature, I proceeded to study the English language, focusing specifically on composition skills and research.My experience within the realm of composition extends from one-on-one tutoring in a university writing center to being the instructor of record for an entry-level university composition class.
Typically I incorporate a heavy communicative approach to the subject I am teaching, allowing knowledge to be shared through communication. Communication with the student helps to enforce the context of the material, which is essential for full comprehension. Once commu ... read more
