"Great tutor"
- Mariia, Boston, MA on 3/20/17Stephanie helped me to improve my writing skills for IELTS exam. After just a few lessons I improved my IELTS writing score from 6.0 to 7.0. Stephanie is really good at what she does. She knows her stuff and can communicate it very well. She is an encourager and very smart. I felt very comfortable with her and really enjoyed our lessons.
I highly recommend Stephanie!
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
French
Master's Degree in French from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Nine trips to Francophone Europe to improve language ability.
IELTS
I was an IELTS invigilator at my job in Houston, and I taught an IELTS preparation course at that same job. I worked with students in Houston about writing argument essays (one of the primary essays for that test) and helped them with describing graphs for the 1st essay. I also helped students with vocabulary building to improve their reading scores and gave them tips on how to manage with the speaking portion.
Literature
My M.A. in French was a literature degree and my minor during my B.A. program was English. I read extensively and keep a book blog online. I have taught academic writing to ESL students for over 10 years.
Proofreading
I edited two chapters for a textbook submission for a former student now working in curriculum development. I have five years experience teaching advanced English composition for ESL students applying for college in America.
Public Speaking
I have taught speech classes at ESL Language Centers for ESL students, and a private speech class in Japan. I was also a tour guide so I know a lot about speaking in front of large groups, making what I say exciting and interesting and sometimes funny, and also about speaking loud enough for everyone to hear me.
Speech
At a previous job, ELS Language Centers, I was often in charge of giving a speech class. There I taught students different kinds of speeches and techniques including emphasis, gestures, intonation, stress, and other techniques including having them memorize a movie speech that they had to practice and deliver. At my last job, I had a private student with whom I also worked on refining and developing speech skills.
