More About This Tutor...

A lifelong lover of reading, writing, and language in general, I supported myself through college by tutoring other students in Spanish and helping them edit/write their papers. Since then, I have tutored students between grades 6 and 12 in English related subjects, including spelling, vocabulary, and general writing. The past four months, I lived in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, where I spent two days a week tutoring local students in English as a second language, in addition to generally improving my Spanish skills.
My teaching style is extremely fluid. I've found that adapting classes to the unique needs and interests of each individual student is the best way to making a lasting impact on their educational growth.

My comments on tutoring English ESOL : I have worked with more than 1 Korean student in my second semester of my first year of college, who were learning English as a second language. They do much better now than when they started out.

I have not tutored as an actual job ever, though I have done many other things that would be considered tutoring. I help my 12 year old nephew with his homework and have done so for about a year. I taught Sunday School at church for two years. My friends and other students have always come to me for help with essays and other English related assignments. Whether it be general proofreading, paragraph writing, paragraph flow, etc, that is the type of help I gave. I also have several Korean friends at college who are learning English as their second language, and one Finnish friend who learned English as her fifth language. I explain the basics to them, and help them learn English. I've learned that I do well in this field, and would like to continue with a paying job.

English ESOL is one of my top subjects! From beginner to advanced, teaching one-on-one, group, or online. My native language is Russian, so my classes may be especially beneficial to Russian speakers. I am mostly experienced with Russian and Chinese students.

Classic - from establishing strong basics to building up skills and knowledge. Emphasis for science teaching is on fluent understanding the material and ability to think critically. For English classes - focus on speaking correctly in full sentences.

A Little Bit About Me...

Teaching is a dream job since you get to directly see the results of your work. You can watch your students improve in front of your eyes and this is a result of your motivational skills. The students do the work but you are the one who reaches their inner core to pull out their ability to achieve. For each student you must find what motivates them and press those buttons. My role is to get students to believe in themselves and then to guide them through the process of education. Positive reinforcement is the key to their success. Frequently they were never given that opportunity. I make them believe in themselves and make learning fun at the same time.
As an ESL ( English as a second language) teacher, I taught students at all levels, from elementary to advanced. I prepared students for exams such as the Cambridge First Certificate, TOEFL and TOEIC. I taught Business Management an ... read more

I love helping people learn. I try to make my lessons enjoyable and practical. With Spanish, for example, I try to use props and role-playing whenever possible. I am patient and friendly. I have had past students return and tell me they appreciated how well I explained the Spanish grammar. They’ve even begged me to move on up to High School so I could continue to be their teacher. I would love to have the opportunity to be of help to you also.

I feel that it's very important to understand each individual child's learning style and consequently, teach accordingly. If he/she is more of an audio learner, I would use songs and sounds to teach them. If they learn by seeing and doing, I would want to find activities that connect to the subject being learned. I realize it takes patience and understanding to teach children. I am very patient and have a unique ability to connect with children. I love helping children achieve and believe a child needs a loving and patient teacher.

As a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas, I began teaching at W.W. Samuell High School in Dallas, Texas. At Samuell, I taught freshman English to inner city kids. Over the course of the 2 years I taught at Samuell, I used my passion for education and language arts to make lasting connections with my students.

At the Education Center, I help soldiers raise their GT scores on the ASVAB by administering practice lessons and tests in the areas of math, word knowledge, and paragraph comprehension.

A Little Bit About Me...

My undergraduate experience at Duke University taught me how to value and seek excellence in all of my educational endeavors. It also afforded me the opportunity to take several courses in the field of education; to design, implement, and teach an ESL start-up program for Spanish-speaking employees at the Washington Duke Inn; to mentor women in my sorority, particularly through a faith-based group I created with the purpose of helping women face the significant pressures at Duke; among other things. In regards to my language background, I spent most of my growing up years in South America which allowed me to become equally fluent in both Spanish and English.
I highly value education and the pursuit of excellence. I especially value the ability to learn and speak a language other than one's native tongue; I am committed to helping individuals reach this goal. Knowledge of anoth ... read more

I believe that it is the teacher's job to discover the true learning style of their students and when we do it is like unlocking a treasure chest of gold, so to speak. I enjoy teaching all the subjects in school and I enjoy the challenge of teaching children with learning disabilities and or emotional disabilities. I like to differentiate my instruction so that all students can access the curriculum and I keep track of my performance through regular assessments and using the RTI (Response to Intervention) process. I know how to teach reading and writing effectively studying under Dr. Elaine Cheesman from U.C.C.S. Also, I am able to teach math effectively for grades 5-8 with my combined experience and the courses I have participated in.
