Hi...I'm Michelle! I am a certified teacher and I have been teaching and tutoring English Language Learners and Language Arts students for over ten years. I have a Master's of Arts degree in Instruction. I specialize in teaching conversational English and pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading skills, and helping you gain the confidence you need to be successful whether that be to succeed in school, pass a test, communicate with others, or to get a job. I have experience providing one-on-one tutoring as well as leading small group classes in companies that employ non-native English speakers.
My love for tutoring and teaching comes from contributing to students' growth in whichever areas they're wanting to improve and watching my students' confidence increase throughout our time together. I believe being patient, passionate, and using relatable, real-life examples are so important in helping with the learning process and these are some of my greatest strengths.
My approach to teaching is to make lessons engaging and relevant. I want our time together to be worth your time (and money). My goal is for you to leave each lesson feeling more knowledgeable and able to apply what you've learned in whichever situation or context right away. When we first meet, it's my goal to get to know your background, your current skill level (through questions and assessments), and goals so that I can be the most effective tutor for you.
Since most of my teaching and tutoring experience has been with English learners, I specialize in the areas of reading (fluency, comprehension, vocabulary), speaking and pronunciation, writing, and grammar.
My schedule is quite flexible, and Online lessons work great for me as well. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and/or your child!
