English ESOL Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Truro, MA

I have tutored students privately in subjects ranging from languages to math since 2001. One student has continued French lessons four hours a week every summer for five years. I completed a one-year French as a foreign language course in Martinique. I have taught several French for Beginners adult classes. I substitute teach at the local schools, and cover all ages and subjects (some of which I am more qualified for than others, and in the event I am less qualified, I let the students teach me what they know). I have wanted to teach since I was in second grade, and am currently working toward my license in Massachusetts. I believe that knowledge is an intimate thing, and that learning should be fun, and confidence-building. I use eliciting techniques, bringing student knowledge to the table first, and then build upon it. Knowing a student is important for preparing relevant materials fo

My teaching style revolves around making my learners, whether young or old, feel good about themselves and the process of learning. I understand that each learner is unique and that one size does not fit all. I am especially interested in building, as much as possible, a positive rapport between the learner and myself. I understand clearly that a learner can become very frustrated when trying to absorb and comprehend information that may be foreign to him or her. I am easy going and have a good amount of patience. I do my best to make the learner think and be challenged, rather than just memorize. Nothing makes me happier than to see someone "get it." My teaching career began in 1972, as the first elementary school teacher in a system that had not hired male teachers in many, many years. I taught all subjects to fifth graders for 11 years. My strength lies in teaching English. In 2008, I

Teaching comes naturally to me in that I love to work with people (i.e. my professional career) and I love to encourage and inspire others to advance their lives through education. I create a comfortable atmosphere for students so that their stress level is reduced and they are able to focus on learning. At the same time, I make lessons fun yet serious. Learning requires having an interest, having a goal and paying attention. With individual tutoring, I use the opportunity to individualize lessons so students are motivated to achieve. Having earned my college degrees as an adult, I am particularly interested in assisting adults in achieving their educational goals. I taught GED Preparation courses for seven years at the local Adult Education Program and assisted approximately 30 students in obtaining their GED. English and math were the main subject matter for these tests and st

I have worked most of my adult life in education or journalism, and I was able to combine my two passions as a journalism professor at the college level for several years. I am currently a visiting lecturer in media studies at Bridgewater State College and a substitute teacher in local schools. I have taught social studies, business and typing in secondary schools. I also have taught in other venues -- as an exercise instructor for youth, adults and disabled individuals, as a word processing instructor, and as an English as a Second Language instructor to new immigrants through Literacy Volunteers of America. I have used my teaching skills as an editor at several newspapers, coaching new reporters and correspondents. I have a relaxed teaching style that makes my students feel comfortable and interested in learning. I believe I transfer my passion for my subject to my students. I am able

During the last ten years, I have taught students in the areas of study skills, test preparation, US history, language arts and ESL/ELL students learning English. I have written curriculum and supervised special education teachers working with dyslexic students. I earned my first master's degree in education, and am part way through my post-master's degree in special education (learning specialist degree) at Simmons College in Boston. I never want to stop learning, nor sharing what I learn with my students. I am always open to learning new styles, and often take part in researching new practices. Most of my teaching, however, is based on the direct teaching model. I like to start each class with an anticipatory set, challenging students to use their critical thinking skills. Then the skill set or information set is modeled by me, practiced with guidance by the students, and finally,

As a senior at Bowdoin college, I have developed strong writing skills in both the sciences and the humanities; I am double major in both Anthropology and Gender and Women's Studies, with a minor in chemistry. Along with the extensive writing that I have done, I have also gained a tremendous amount of experience through the writing center at my college, where I help students one-on-one at every stage of the writing process. I have also helped students strategize ways to approach writing prompts, such as those found on an MCAT, secondary school, internship, or job application. As I am fluent in both Spanish and English, I have also assisted ESL students and adults with reading and writing skills. When I was 10 years old, I started helping my grandmother—who is originally from Peru—with her English. As I knew and understood her native language very well, I relied on my ability to translat
