I am a dedicated and hard-working literature, writing, and ESL tutor. I started to instruct others as a writing and linguistics tutor while still studying for my bachelor's degree at Swarthmore College, where I double majored in English and linguistics. While working at a publishing company in New York City for the next three years, I continued to work as a volunteer tutor, assisting middle school students at the Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center. I then went back to school to get a Masters degree in English from Yale, honing my skills at analyzing literature and writing. I have now just returned from teaching ESL for a year in China. I received a month of training prior to the start of the school year. Following the training, I started the job: I taught eighteen classes a week of Junior 1 and Junior 2 students, eleven to fourteen years old. In addition to honing my ESL teaching abilities, during the course of this year I also spent time tutoring Chinese students from the age of nine to eighteen in subjects varying from ESL to essay writing. I am an experienced and devoted tutor, and I'm sure that I'll be able to help you or your child excel!

• ESL/ESOL

  Having spent a year teaching and tutoring students English as a second language in China, I am highly qualified to tutor this subject. Prior to beginning the school year, I had a month of training in teaching ESL. I then spent the rest of the year teaching eighteen classes a week of thirty to sixty Chinese seventh and eighth graders. I am satisfied that I reached many of my students and inspired them to study English; I am still in correspondence with many of them. Moreover, I didn't only have experience in the classroom; I also worked as a tutor and helped many students, ranging from nine year-olds to eighteen year-olds, to practice their English skills. I have methods that will help everyone from students just beginning their study of English who need to practice their basic pronunciation to experienced ESL students who want to improve their writing and speaking skills in preparation for applying to college.
