English As a Second Language, French, and Japanese Tutor

I have a Bachelor of University Studies degree from the University of Albuquerque. My major fields were history and French. After I graduated from college, I studied Japanese for many years at the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos, Santa Fe Community College, and with several private tutors. I completed English as a Second Language Training with Literacy Volunteers of America in 1993. Since then, I have done private ESL tutoring in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Denver, Colorado. I volunteered for three years in the ESL program at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School in Denver, Colorado. I taught English in 1995 in the towns of Nakamura and Sukumo, Kochi ken, Japan. In 1987, I was a clerk in the office of the governor of New Mexico. I also completed a Microcomputer Management course at Parks College, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a travel agent's course at SST Travel School, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona.

European History

My name is Woodson T.

History was my major in college. I am quite familiar with the histories of the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Austria, and Greece. I feel quite sure that I can help anyone who needs help with studying any of these. I can explain how certain events led to the events that followed. I would very much like the opportunity to tutor someone in European History.

French

I studied French throughout high school and college, where it was one of my best subjects. French was my minor at the university level. I am familiar with all aspects of French grammar, including the subjunctive. In my French class at the University of New Mexico, we read both Flaubert and Moliere in the original French. I tutored a Golden High School student in French for several months in 2010, much to his and his mother's satisfaction. I currently belong to a club in which only French is spoken... Read More

Reading

I learned to read at the age of four. I always did well in English vocabulary, grammar, and literature classes throughout high school and college. I have proofread numerous papers for college students, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels. I have tutored two children in reading for more than two years. I have also been trained in ESL, which I have taught both public and privately over the past nineteen years.

Geography

Dear Prospective students:

My name is Woodson T. Geography has been a hobby of mine since I was five years old. I grew up in a city where it rains quite a bit. Whenever it would rain , I would sit in my little house in my parents' backyard and study the atlas. I am familiar with the names and locations of every country in the world and every county in the United States.

Sincerely,
Woodson T.

English

I learned to read at the age of four. English vocabulary, grammar, and literature were among my best subjects throughout high school and college. I always enjoyed essay tests.

I have proofread numerous papers for university students, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This has always been a rewarding and pleasant task for me.

Literature

Literature was one of my best subjects in college. I have studied Southwestern Literature, Shakespeare, the Bible as Literature, and many classic American and English biographies and novels. I am also quite well-versed in Latin, French, German, Russian, and Japanese literature.

ESL/ESOL

Dear prospective students: I was trained in English as a Second Language in a program taught by Literacy Volunteers of America, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1993. I learned that one does not have to speak the other person's language in order to teach him or her English. I can point to various objects in the room, say the word in English, and have you repeat it. For sounds that you are not familiar with, I can form the words with my mouth, have you watch me pronounce the words, and form them the... Read More

Japanese

Dear prospective students: Japanese is my second language. I began studying it at Santa Fe Community College, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1989. I mastered both hiragana and katakana within two weeks. I can also teach basic Kanji up to about 300 characters. I studied with several different private teachers in Santa Fe before joining a Japanese program at the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos. I had already graduated from college. This was a special program on the Japanese language and culture... Read More
