English Teacher/Tutor/TESOL

I taught emergency response classes for the American Red Cross before going back to college. I then taught English composition classes, and I tutored in the university writing center for two years. Presently, I teach Intensive English for International Students at the University of Northern Colorado, including grammar, reading, vocabulary, computer skills, writing, and speaking/listening classes.
I believe education should be fun and that students learn better when they are in a relaxed environment. Humor, praise, patience, and encouragement are essential to good learning.

I started teaching while in college; I worked as a Teaching Assistant when school was in session (teaching college students) and as a camp counselor at a French immersion camp in the summers. This allowed me to work with students ages 8-22 and to develop different teaching styles for different ages. I am currently writing my PhD thesis; although the subject is Francophone, I'm writing in English and feel that I have strong writing skills and the ability to teach them. I've taught English to non-native speakers in France as an "English assistant" as well as in the US as an ESL tutor. I recently started tutoring in a local school and am working with students on a variety of subjects, from GED to English.
I have a communicative and interactive approach to teaching. I believe that a child learns best when actively involved in the process of learning and discovery. I am also a very pati ... read more

As a graduate of the University of Maryland I had a desire to teach and help others in learning. With a BA in English Language and Literature with a concentration on ESL and an M.Ed. in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), I gained the skills and knowledge necessary in achieving my goals. The BA in English helped me to gain the grammar reading and writing skills and the Master's degree to gain the instructional skills I needed. I also have traveled to eight different countries and taught at all levels of education and to all audiences. I have taught elementary, secondary, college, university and adult education. I also taught a wide range of audiences ranging from elementary students to businessmen and politicians in classroom and one-on-one situations. I put my knowledge and skills to practice by teaching the brother of the former President of Peru (Fujimori). A ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

My tutoring began while I was studying at Montana State University. My Junior year I enrolled in a class that was based around community service and my role was tutoring middle school aged children. The tutoring was in a small group setting and was on any subject the children needed help in but mainly in reading comprehension. After college, I attended Via Lingua where I became certified to teach ESL. It was here that my tutor experience expanded. For 4 months, I not only taught night classes but tutored on a one-one basis with students who needed further assistance. After moving back to the U.S., I got a job at American Cultural Exchange at Montana State University. When I started here my first job was tutoring 3 students from Japan. In these sessions, we concentrated on everything from grammar and conversation skills to reading comprehension.
Teaching is the greatest job ... read more
