ESL and Literacy Tutor with 10+ Years of experience

Abeer Z.

I hold a Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), which has equipped me with a deep understanding of language acquisition and effective teaching strategies for English learners. My academic foundation allows me to tailor lessons to meet the needs of students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, whether they are beginners or more advanced learners. Additionally, I have undergone professional development in teaching reading and writing to struggling students, which further enhances my ability to support these students in building strong literacy skills.

Over the past 10+ years, I have gained extensive experience teaching English and literacy skills to children, teenagers, and adults. My teaching journey has included working in public schools, private institutions, and one-on-one tutoring sessions. I specialize in helping students improve their reading comprehension, writing fluency, and speaking confidence. My approach is highly personalized: I assess each student’s unique strengths and areas for growth and design lessons that are both engaging and effective. I incorporate proven curricula such as "Side by Side" for ESL learners and "All About Reading/Writing" for struggling readers, supplementing these with interactive activities to keep learning enjoyable.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students across various age groups, from elementary-aged children needing reading support to middle school students refining their academic writing skills, and adults mastering conversational English. My ability to connect with learners of all ages, coupled with my passion for teaching, ensures a positive and productive learning environment. Whether in a classroom setting or one-on-one sessions, my goal has always been to empower students to succeed academically and beyond.
