English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Sanibel, FL

My name is Barbara M. I was born in Hamburg, Germany and raised in Japan. I have been tutoring for the past six years in Cape Coral, Florida. I grew up in Japan and came to the USA after I met my husband. Having a Japanese mother and German father meant I was surrounded by both languages, becoming fluent in both. I earned my IB in German in high school and took the O-level exam at Oxford University in London. I passed the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test at level N2 and am studying for the N1. Tutoring is my passion. Learning languages can be challenging, but I try to adjust my lesson plan according to my student’s need. Through my years of tutoring I had students telling me how they were so excited that they were able to use what they learned from me. I do set goals for students and try to lead them with positive encouragement. Each student has their own pace of learning Japanese

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles. I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

Native Speaker I use the hands-on technique which combines written material as well as visual teaching (touch, feel, hear, and see). Music, CD's and worksheets are provided and create a trustworthy, fun, and educational environment. I was an English Instructor in an elementary school in Germany. Up to 12 children (2nd Grade, ages 8-9 years). In addition, I taught English at a German Day Care facility where the children were between the ages of 2-5 years old. My responsibilities included teaching everyday vocabulary in a fun and exciting way. The company that I worked for was contracted by the US Army in Europe to provide American children with special courses to enhance their experience in Europe. I taught German to US military family members (ages 6-18). I was responsible for creating an efficient and enriching curriculum. I provided the students with working materials as well as books

On the whole, I look for a rather creative approach when it comes to learning and studying. I ask that students be skeptical in all they hear and read, so asking questions as a form of studying will be essential. Just reading a book or looking at flash cards for studying purposes can prove to be tedious and ineffective. And putting what's learned in context is always necessary if the subject calls for any everyday application. I have helped people with their English-speaking skills off and on and am very skilled in spelling and grammar. I've been learning Japanese for going on three years, as well. I'm aware that it's not a particularly high in-demand language to learn, but I am more than willing to aid in learning it if it is desired. Also, having graduated high school, I have enough knowledge to teach kids about the basics of science, math, and English.

I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to build relationships with all of my students and their families. I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabil

I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from Trinity College of Florida. I went on to pursue a Master’s of Arts degree in Intercultural Studies from Alliance Theological Seminary. Both of these degrees have equipped me for ministry, which is my passion. I also pursued a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language, which I received through the University of Cambridge. I have taught in churches for over ten years, often working with underprivileged youth. My experience in ESOL began when I taught conversational English in Chiang Mai, Thailand over the summer. I taught ESL as a volunteer during my Master’s Program at a church in New Jersey, and most recently I have started private tutoring. I believe I am an effective teacher because I always prepare thoroughly for whatever I will teach, and I use a variety of means in teaching, in order to engage students

I am currently working with the Lee County School district as reading tutor. I tutor elementary and middle school. Prior to this I taught freshmen orientation (freshmen skills) to freshmen with the City University Of New York (CUNY) at Hostos Community College. as a professor I have assisted my students with writing skills. In addition I was in charge of the probation students and have assisted them with their poor writing skills. I was a Mentor and helped my mentees with English deficiencies. Although I was not employed as a tutor, as a student advocate, I have always "tutored" students who needed this assistance to remain in good academic standing. As a mother of two college students, one in middle and one high school I am constantly "tutoring". As an educator, I know that in teaching "one learning style does not fit all" hence, one teaching style does not fit all.I have experience wi

I believe the learning process should be enjoyable, engaging and productive. My teaching style is individualized, adaptive to my students' needs and goals and at the same time creative so that they would see how FUN and EASY is to COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY in English. I use a lot of grammar and exercise reference books as well as other supporting materials. My guidelines for tutoring are learning from mistakes, interaction and immediate application. In addition to my passion for teaching, I'm able to give clear instructions and explanations. I’m always trying to encourage my students to self-discover their learning capabilities and deal with the fear of frustration, because I’ve been there and I understand what they are going through. I have years of experience in tutoring students from kindergarten to high-school level, as well as teaching adults in English as a Second Language through pr

My teaching style is a combination of basic, simple direct instruction and hands-on learning. I believe children learn best through active engagement when they are interested in the subject. I realize that not all students learn in the same way, or at the same pace. As my student, a child can expect a variety of differentiated instruction techniques to create a positive learning experience and meet their learning needs. As a recent graduate of FGCU, I received top honors in my field of study, Early Childhood Education. This continues my experience as an educator, as I have taught at the pre-school level for 15 years. My teaching and life experiences uniquely qualify me for an engaging tutoring experience for your child. I have recently interned in two elementary schools resulting in great academic success for my students in reading and math. I understand the stress and competitive

I taught at Temple Judea Pre-School in Fort Myers as an assistant teacher; I assumed duties when the teacher was absent. While working in various non-teaching positions I translated for Spanish speaking patients and trained Spanish speaking new employees. I speak both Spanish and English without an accent in either language. I think that language should be taught by sentences rather than by conjugation of language parts. It is important that a student thinks in the language rather than translate; the student has to feel the language. As a fifty-six year old widow who has raised a child I have the maturity and patience to help children learn.
