If you have problems with reading, writing, understanding, and or speaking English, let me help you improve your language skills.

I have been an ESL tutor for the past ten years in a Colorado Literacy Coalition program and have helped several students pass the English, Civics, and American History requirements for the U.S. citizenship-naturalization test. Class levels have ranged from beginning to advanced English comprehension, grammar, and pronunciation.

My lessons are tailored to the particular needs of the student or group of students in my classes.

Elementary (K-6th)

As a tutor in the No Child Left Behind Program in a Denver elementary school, I have had extensive training in the skills necessary to provide children with the ability to score well on standardized tests. However, I think children should also enjoy studying. As a private tutor, I can tailor their lessons according to their individual needs. When they get restless, we can switch to another learning activity. As important as it is for children to be well prepared to pass at grade level for the... Read More

Study Skills

Having tutored English as a Second Language for the past ten years, and having prepared numerous students to successfully pass the U.S. Citizenship test, I have had a great deal of experience in helping students enhance their study skills. Many of these students have had to study under adverse conditions because of poverty, low-paying jobs with irregular hours, large families living in crowded conditions, lack of funds for study materials, and the handicap of speaking little English. My training... Read More

Special Needs

In special needs tutoring, I welcome the opportunity to work with the student’s parent, teacher and/or or professional specialist to apply their recommendations for appropriate academic activities. I believe that the key aspect of working in this field is identifying individual needs and creating a supportive learning environment, regardless of the particular disorder. I recognize that a special needs student may have difficulties with focusing, concentrating, and completing work in a timely manner... Read More

ESL/ESOL

While teaching medical transcription at a local business college about ten years ago, I realized the necessity of teaching English to both native speakers and foreign-born students. At that time, I began training in an ESL program sponsored by the Jefferson County Literacy Coalition. Since then, I have been teaching English as a Second Language to students from all parts of the world and have assisted many in obtaining U.S. citizenship. My ESL classes have included all levels of learning from... Read More

ADD/ADHD

My ten years of experience in tutoring ESL qualifies me to help students with all kinds of learning disabilities. One of my current students is dyslexic, but learning to read English now. Another is deaf. Other students range from those who never had an opportunity to attend school to a graduate software engineer who is learning American business English. This kind of tutoring requires the extraordinary amount of patience that is needed to work with an ADHD child. I would work with the parents... Read More

Dyslexia

As the tutor of a dyslexic ESL student, I have worked through the recommendations proposed by several professional educators and have achieved good results. This student is now sufficiently proficient in phonics recognition and sight reading to succeed in her chosen career.

As the mother of a dyslexic son, I understand the psychological significance of this reading impairment to the child and family and the importance of working one-on-one with the child in accordance with assessments... Read More
