Portuguese is one of my top subjects!

As well as being a certified TESOL instructor, I graduated from Smith College with a bachelors degree in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies and Latin American Studies. My studies focused on language learning, reading, writing, and cultural history and studies in Spanish and Portuguese. I studied abroad in Lisbon, Portugal for one semester and was in intern for a summer in a sustainable village in the jungle of Panama. Before college, I did my gap year in Belo Horizonte, Brazil where I lived with host families and attended high school. I have traveled to 25 countries and have vast experience using my language skills in daily life and immersing myself in the local culture.
I am a very fun and practical language teacher. From the beginning, I will help you become confident in your language skills and not be afraid to fail. Putting yourself out there when you are traveling or simply in t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I consider myself a very creative teacher.I like to use techniques such as Total Physical Response(TPR), when teaching a second language. I have mastered two second languages myself,and raised two bi literate children successfully.I believe everyone can learn, and I need to find the student's learning style and work from there. I love working with children and see their growth and fun when they can succeed. Reading and Bilingual Education are two of my passions in life, and the kind or work that I enjoy doing the most.
I have experience teaching elementary school children in the USA and other countries,all core subjects, including ESL. Also, have worked with the adult population teaching English as a Second Language,Spanish,Reading.I have a BA in Education from Brazil, have taught in country as well as Japan, the Middle East and here in the United States.I have taken many classes i ... read more

Read More About Pamela Y...

My goal is to excite students about learning. I encourage my own children as well as those I teach in the classroom to focus first on finding at least one concept in each lesson that attracts them and about which they would like to know more. This philosophy helps to eliminate the student's perception that "I hate math" or "I'm not good at science." Secondly, I use text-to-self and text-to-world relationships to get students to recognize the broader application of subjects. Finally, I work hard to reach students with various learning styles (verbal, auditory, visual) and always make time for one-on-one reinforcement or re-teaching for students with special needs.
As the daughter and sibling of educators, I have been teaching since I was 6 years old; I taught a 4-year old boy to write his name at an inner-city program. As a teenager I tutored a 9-year old girl in math. After gra ... read more
