I am currently operating a start-up business after having been laid off from a position as an ESL Tutor at Community College of Rhode Island. I taught speaking, reading, writing and listening skills to adult immigrants who were laid off from their jobs.

I write my own quizzes and exams and use current event readings for writing assignments. I try to focus on critical thinking skills and use short stories to teach the skills. I have also used games, skits, and plays to help students apply what they have learned in class.

I have been taching piano to children for the last five years and taught high school Spanish at Bishop Hendricken High School. My students received 26 of the 33 foreign languages. Right now, I am mentoring a foreign student on how to start a business.

Because I know my subjects well, I am an excellent teacher. I have patience to help students correct their mistakes.

Please do not ask me if I am available if you have no intentions of hiring me. I am available from 6 pm - 9 pm Monday, Wednedsay, Thursday, Friday, and 9-5 on Saturday by appointment.

ESL/ESOL

I became interested in teaching ESL after I had enrolled as a Literacy Volunteer tutor in my city. Certification took place over the course of two eight hour days. During this time, I learned the characteristics of adult learners, as well as techniques to help the students learn the skills that are necessary in order to communicate in English.
