A Little Bit About Me...

Approach taken is a "Can do experience--constant reassurance is on going to create a win - win atmosphere which motivates student(s)that learning is possible and achieved with the ever forethought that each student is important,unique and special! I always generate a positive -supportive caring attitude promoting helpfulness with each and every part of the learning process. The belief in rote memorization; using cognitive recall; using tactile materials and hands-on activities are very important and always given to great care to assist each student's personal approach to the subject matter which encompasses the student is number one and each question is important and full of potential to every grow and learn. Patience of a saint with ways meeting the needs that most help the student to learn, retain and apply the subject matter--a good motto is:"A willow tree bends with the wind." Thus ... read more

TOEFL is one of my top subjects! I have taught iBased TOEFL ever since it was introduced several years ago. The iBT requires students to write, read, speak, and listen to English at an academic level. The writing section is especially difficult as it requires a student to do two types of writing: 1.intergrated - read a passage, listen to a person discuss the passage, then write an answer to the question that is asked about the passage 2. Independent writing - write a short essay (about 300 words) on a given topic.

My many years of teaching experience at all levels (from elementary to college) has given me the ability and patience to work with students of all ages. Although I prefer older students, I have taught reading, language arts, and writing in elementary school. During my more than 40 years in Greece, I worked with students in ESL (all levels), taught high school and college English, and prepared many Greek students for the TOEFL I have a BA degree in English from the University of North Texas (1962), MA in Reading and English from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio - 1975) and post graduate work from several European and American Universities. I have a state of Texas professional teaching certificate for English and Reading.
My teaching style is determined by the group that I am teaching. I am always honest and open minded with my students. I always give me the respect and care that ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

From my elementary school Swahili classes in Kenya, I have always been fascinated by other languages. During the past few years, I have been able to combine my passion for teaching with this interest in language study. By exploring more than 5 foreign languages and working as an editor, I have laid a solid foundation for sharing my love of language with others. I have taught Greek and Spanish in addition to tutoring English as a Second Language to adult business professionals for more than 5 years.I have had the privilege of tutoring ESL students from Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America and have been tutoring SAT, ACT, and GRE for high school and graduate-level students.
I believe in facilitating the learning process by asking questions and exploring answers with the student, thus teaching him or her the process of discovering correct answers and affirming his or her capacity f ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a caring teacher who is encouraging and helpful. I try to explain the material in a way so that students understand and keep trying different methods in order to determine how students learn best. Although I am very serious about helping students learn, I often use a lighthearted approach to help students loosen up and enjoy the learning process.
I am a certified teacher in English and Math with 5 years of experience teaching in both public and private schools. In addition, I have been tutoring for more than 15 years and teaching summer camps for young people for 10 years. I am an expert in helping students prepare for such tests as the TAKS, GED, ACT, and SAT.
