Experienced Tutor Specializing in ESL/English

Sara C.

Hi, my name is Sara. I have been teaching ESL online to students in China for over ten years through both a company based in China called E Reader International and I am currently working for a company called Miratutor in the United States who help to connect me with students in China. I enjoy teaching children as young as four and have also taught adults. I also have experience teaching basic elementary homeschooling in person using IXL and various textbooks of all core subjects.

I earned my associate's degree from Baker College in Business Administration, and both a 40-hour and a 120-hour Advanced TESOL certificate from the Canadian Institute of English. I learned 32 different methods of teaching from my TESOL training such as: a communicative approach, a tactile approach, using humor, accelerated reading, using music and videos, and word association and can use them during my lessons, but have not had the opportunity using very many of them having taught only mostly online. I currently use the Wonders series textbooks and workbooks, classic literature, flash cards, and questions from hundreds of different topics using various websites for ESL practice to communicate effectively with students in English.
In person I have also used drawing pictures and graphs, games, and acting things out. I tailor lessons to each student, each has a different need, and I will adjust accordingly. Please let me know your needs and I will help you find the best source for your needs. I love teaching and would love to help you reach your personal goals and full potential! You have the option of coming to my home in person for tutoring on Friday afternoons or having evening online lessons when I am available. I look forward to meeting you soon.
