I am Elizabeth, I love teaching math, reading and Spanish.

I have been in education for more than twenty years. I possess a Professional K-6 Teacher License with ESL and Spanish endorsements K-12. Last year, I worked as a bilingual reading intervention teacher at Boulder School District. I monitored student reading progress regularly and provided that information to classroom teachers and parents.
Before that I taught ESL, 2nd grade and fifth grade. I also taught Adult ESL. I was an English teacher in an accredited private elementary school in Costa Rica, as well as an owner of a private language school. I taught English as a second language to children through adulthood and Spanish to non-native Spanish speakers. In the ten years I have been in the United States, I have worked as a paraprofessional in different elementary schools helping English language learners to succeed academically while I was attending classes at UNC. I am excited about the opportunity of tutoring students in English and AP Spanish.

Vocabulary

Teaching vocabulary was part of my lesson plan during literacy instruction as a fifth grade teacher. I had to use different activities like pictures, miming, games to remember the new word.

Grammar

After I graduated from high school, I studied English as a foreign language in Peru. I learned a lot of grammar. When I was in college in US, I had no problem because I learned English basically through grammar.

Microsoft Word

I have used the Microsoft program in college and in my classroom. I taught my students to present PowerPoint presentations in science. They learned how to search internet websites for writing projects.

Prealgebra

Algebra is the part of math I feel more comfortable to teach. I worked as a ESL assistant. My focus was ninth and tenth grade algebra at Greeley Central High School.

Reading

I taught second and fifth grade for four years. I taught reading and comprehension skills to my students to pass reading assessments. They also learned reading strategies to get fluency to read at grade level.

Spanish

I am native Spanish speaker. I was born in Peru. I taught Spanish in Costa Rica for ten years. I got my Spanish endorsement k-12 in 2010.

Writing

As an elementary teacher, teaching writing skills was part of literacy instruction. Students were exposed to modeling instructions and writing creative stories, poems. Also they wrote narrative, expository and persuasive essays.

ESL/ESOL

This is my strength. I am myself an ESL student. I learned some English in high school. Then I attended Peruvian North American Institute for three years to learn English. When I graduated I was able to teach English as a foreign language at a private school in Peru, Costa Rica and USA for more than twenty years.

TOEFL

I prepared to take this test and I passed many years ago before coming to the United States.

Spelling

Spelling was part of my routine as fifth grade teacher. Students needed to learn twenty words per week that was part of the literacy program. Most of them were new vocabulary words they learned in their reading material.

Elementary Math

I have worked as a math tutor two summers ago. I helped third and fourth graders to practice math word problems, fractions, measurement, etc.

Elementary (K-6th)

While I was attending University of Northern Colorado, I worked as teacher assistant for four years, grade K-12. As soon as I graduated from college, I was hired to teach bilingual 2nd grade. Then fifth grade. I also taught ESL, Spanish and reading intervention. I truly believe my strength is teaching Spanish and English to students whose native language is not English.

Bible Studies

I am bible reader. I followed a two-year program to read the whole bible and discuss with a group once a week to review and share important thoughts.
