More About This Tutor...

I have 3 years of classroom experience in a middle school, 1 year of preschool experience, 1 year of kindergarten experience, and 4 years of tutoring students between ages 3-16 in English, ESL, and math. Teaching is a passion of mine and I look forward to working with you. Theee years were spent teaching abroad in South Korea. Which is where experience with ESL was gained. It was an experience that strengthened my ability to work with non-native and native English speakers and taught me many different methods of teaching materials.
It is my belief that making learning and the material fun and understandable is the most important thing I can do. Once the experience of learning is fun, grades will rise as well. This means lots of discussion and hand on activities to help students learn necessary concepts. For English this often means reading material and writing prompts about subject ... read more

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I am a native speaker of English and have taught foreign languages for several years.

I earned a M.A. in Japanese language and literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Prior to that I was hotel concierge in Hawaii responsible for helping Japanese guests and hotel staff communicate. I worked for Nissin Travel in Columbus, Ohio as a travel agent for Japanese clients. I received a B.A in Japanese language and linguistics from the Ohio State University in 1994. I was an exchange student in 1992 at Kansai Gaidai Foreign Language University. All of these experiences have helped me develop high level proficiency in Japanese language and a deep understanding of Japanese culture.
I love to help people communicate. I believe that learning a foreign language is good for the brain, as it creates new neural pathways and helps us to learn that there is always more than one way to solve any problem.

My experience in paid teaching (excluding numerous volunteer and non-paid opportunities) range from teaching Vietnamese refugee "boat-people" children (news film footage archived by Vanderbilt University) in 1975 through years of Orange County (CA) adult education in English as a Second Language to my present duties in metro Denver of teaching immigrant adults in English as a Second Language. Along the way, I also experienced fulltime day teaching of a kindergarten class in Fresno and a combined 7th-8th grade moderate-to-severe special education class in Inglewood, California.
My teaching style could be described as modified Montessorian, in an attempt to appeal to all the senses, and to affect the learning channels of each student as a unique individual. Encouragement is lavished on even the adult students, and not all errors are equally vital to correct on an immediate basis. One ... read more

My teaching style starts with the class. I follow manuals as far as they can take me, but I like to get a feel for the class, learn there interests and disinterests and use those as teaching tools. My philosophy is: you learn a second language to help you advance in life and in the global economy. I think most students understand that, and if they don't I like to take the time to let them know the importance of a second language in this current global spectrum. I use music, clothes, food and shopping as key themes as well as some colloquial terms, nothing graphic, to lighten the mood every once in a while. I know it is not linguistics, but I enjoy emphasizing pronunciation as well, because regardless of how much you know, if you pronounce it poorly no one will understand you.
After having studied Journalism for three years at Colorado State University, while also taking Spanish as ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have over 5 years of teaching experience. I taught high school English as a foreign language near Budapest for 3 years. During that time, I focused on teaching English language learners, helping over 150 students pass their EU fluency exams, teaching essay writing to prepare students for majors in English at the university level, and the skills they needed to analyze classic literature. Since returning to the United States, I have completed my Masters degree in Education with the University of Phoenix, taught pre-school and second grade. These experiences have given me the skills to not only teach higher levels of English but to also be able to give young students the tools they need to begin the reading and writing processes.
To put it simply, I love teaching. I believe that every child can learn. The beauty of a private tutor is the one-on-one connection between the tutor ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My goal as a teacher is to "fit" the material that needs to be learned into each student's character and mindset. Everyone excels at something -- it is my job to find out what that is and how to make that work so that new material can be incorporated. I work to help students achieve their potential and strive to help them feel confident that they can do well.
I have assembled a wide variety of experiences during my years of work and education. I have worked as a journalist, advertising copy writer and designer; and teacher of adult learners in the areas of fine art, art history, and garden design. For 16 years, I owned a operated a successful garden design business and, more recently, taught in a local elementary school for six years as a fifth grade teacher, specializing in reading and, especially, writing. I occasionally write for garden publications and continue to create a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am a first year Doctoral student at the University of Colorado Boulder. I was a TA last semester for the department of Journalism and Mass Communication, and I have six semesters of TA experience from Cornell University in the departments of Communication, History, Asian Studies, and Near Eastern Studies.
I am interested in this position both because I enjoy teaching and I have a strong interest in international communities. I spent a portion of last year in South Asia conducting fieldwork for my thesis and realized just how much capital language has in the social arena. When I returned from India, I began tutoring international school age children to improve their English language, particularly in writing assignments. For this reason I am most interested in tutoring children and adults with language barriers.

A Little Bit About Me...

I volunteer for HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminar) every year. This program pushes facilitation, which is what I strive to do. I like to try to facilitate and push my students to ask questions and talk to me as a peer. I always try to give at least three compliments to every criticism because students are often too hard on themselves. For some reason, most of the students I have worked with have had an English teacher along the line who has made them feel "stupid." It is amazing what boosting confidence can do! I like to understand where students are coming from and what their specific needs are so I can address them in a way that best fits their learning style and experiences.
I began working with children who were diagnosed with autism my first year of college (I did this for 7 years). I felt a sense of accomplishment as I watched them grow as people. I realized ... read more
