My qualifications to teach English as a second language stem from the fact that I have faced this beast from both sides of the fence: first, as a learner of a second language, then as an instructor. In 2007, I returned from almost 10 years in the country of Albania where I learned the native language and became adept at knowing how a language is learned, some of the pitfalls involved, and some of the factors that make it not just doable but enjoyable. After learning Albanian, I taught conversational English to a small group of Albanians and also gave several informal English lessons to Albanian children. This past year in the states I started learning Portuguese and then tutored a small group of Brazilian ladies in English.
Teaching English is such a delight! Having lived in a cross-cultural setting for several years and learned the native language, I understand remarkably wel ... read more

I have taught Medical Neuroanatomy to medical students at the University of Iowa Medical School. Students were directed in dissecting and identifying parts of the human brain. This occurred in small groups of five or six students. I also taught Molecular Neurobiology at Friday Harbor Laboratories to graduate students who came from around the world to take the course.

My teaching style varies depending on the student. Perhaps my biggest asset is empathy as I can easily tell when a student (or group) gets it. Thus, I do not waste time telling students what they already know, and I can back up and explain in more detail when necessary. I have a kind of fluency in math, science, and langua ... read more

I began my career in education in 1993 as an Instructional Aide. That experience cemented my desire to be a teacher. Since that time I have devoted myself to getting the education necessary for that dream to come true.I now have a Bachelor's in English, and a Master's in Education. While attending school I tutored after-school students and substituted whenever possible. Concurrent with my Master's studies I was attending the teacher training program. I hold an Institutional Recommendation for Credential. My Master's degree has an endorsement for teaching SEI (Sheltered English Immersion), and I hold a certificate for teaching TESL.
Teaching styles are as diverse as students in the classroom. Given that fact, differentiated instruction is necessary because no two students learn alike. Building background, accessing prior knowledge, and learning student's frames of reference are impo ... read more
