Are you passionate about learning English as a second language or the Russian language?
I am passionate about you learning too! I've taught English to both classrooms of students as well as individually for over 10 years. I've also taught Russian to several individuals.

I spent 2 years studying and learning the Russian language while living in Vladivostok, Russia. So, I know both the challenges and the rewards of living and learning language and culture. Thus, I enjoy being a part of the process of helping others learn and grow in understanding and succeeding in language competence.

I'm a patient, kind, and helpful teacher. I also like to make classes to fit each students' desired styles of learning. I find that learning is more interesting, enjoyable, and rewarding when it fits the needs and desires of my student!

Approved Subjects

English

English

I was a writing consultant during my Masters degree. My specialty is English as a second language.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have taught classroom ESL and tutored ESL for over 15 years with students ranging in age from 13-55. I have worked for elementary schools, a private English language institute, a private college, a non-profit organization, and a community college ESL program for immigrants and refugees, and various one on one tutor positions. I find that the one on one tutor experiences have been my favorites because I can devote my full attention to one student!
Russian

Russian

I have tutored basic Russian to several individuals over my 10 plus years of exposure to the Russian language and its people. I initially learned Russian through a two-year immersion program in Vladivostok, Russia. Since that time, I have taken several Russian courses to stay brushed up on the language. I love to enable new learners to progress in their love for, ability in, and confidence in the language!
Writing

Writing

Over the course of teaching ESL (English As A Second Language), I have taught many of my students proper essay format, good English grammar and sentence structure, as well as understandable content. While attending graduate school at CSU, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students as a writing consultant in CSU's writing center. My consultations with students primarily helped them become better writers through constructive suggestions/observations about their papers content, flow, and focus. Also, while working in CSU's writing center, I tutored a Chinese student with his English writing. After a semester of tutoring, he was able to enter an English Composition class necessary for his progress towards his degree.
