Nine years of volunteer work in adult literacy and ESL programs, as well as obtaining my B.A. in English Literature, have prepared me to help those with reading, writing, and English language difficulties. I have enjoyed the mutual learning experience in teaching; students have taught me to listen and to understand their challenges, whether it be only a few years of formal education, a learning difficulty, or simply a fear of failure. I will be insistent that my students work with me, but I try to be neither demanding nor intimidating. They are about to embark on a grand adventure and do not need added obstacles. The thrills and smiles in the realization that one has mastered the highways and byways of a language are endless.

Grammar

Four years of studying for my degree in English Literature required the writing of numerous essays. These essays were corrected by my professors. The writing of these essays, as well as grammar courses have given me the confidence to help others with their writing skills.

Reading

A Liberal Arts degree and nine years of volunteering in literacy programs have prepared me to be able to assess a student's interests as well as the student's ability to comprehend the information given in the reading material. Once these assessments have been made, a rich vocabulary will surely follow. In addition, my education and training have given me the ability to persevere without becoming frustrated if gains seem small. And, of course, laughter can ease tension and make the learning process... Read More

Writing

Earning my degree in English Literature required the perpetual writing of essays. My essays were always received favorably by my professors with notations stating that they were creative and insightful. It was always a welcomed challenge for me to follow the rules for a good essay and to complement these rules with my own ideas and opinions.

English

I recently earned my B.A. in English Literature from The University of Baltimore in Baltimore, MD. My courses consisted of the reading of novels from various genres, accompanied with the writing of essays, which were corrected by my professors. This process helped me to be much more analytical in my reading.

In addition, I have volunteered for nine years in Adult Literacy and ESL/ESOL programs in Baltimore. This coming year, I intend to earn a certificate to teach English in ESL/ESOL... Read More

ESL/ESOL

Several years ago, I tutored for two years in an ESL/ESOL program in Charles Village; the young woman was from Beijing. We would meet for two hours, two days a week. Her spoken English was very good, as she had been taking English classes in China. However, her written English needed much correction; and this is where we concentrated our energies.

For the past three years, I have been a volunteer tutor in an ESL program in Fells Point. I participate one afternoon a week for two hours... Read More

Spelling

My interests, such as medicine, archaeology, history, English literature, the English language, Spanish, German, and Irish, have helped me to acquire a knowledge of vocabulary words from diverse disciplines.

In addition, I have recently earned my B.A. in English Literature, as well as tutoring in ESL/ESOL programs for many years. This coming year, I plan to earn a certificate to teach English home and abroad from The English Language Institute at The University of Maryland.
