I am an experienced, credentialed teacher who teaches ESL to adults and children! I have been trained in many different learning styles and have had success where many other teachers haven't. I'm happy to email you my resume and a description of my services if you'd like. I will say up front that I charge more than some tutors but I am a trained, credentialed teacher and can be more helpful in less time than many. The best compliment I have ever gotten from a parent was that the change in her son was ''miraculous.'' That's why I do it! email better than phone to contact me. Bronwyn Harris bronwyn_harris[at]yahoo.com 510-589-3786 ----------------------------------------------- Dec 21 2012 Hello there, I'm a woman in her 40's who studied Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Boston at the Worldwide Teachers Development Institute in the late 1990's. Since then, I've taught/tutored one-on-one in a variety of subjects, including singing, math, reading, writing, music software, and English as a foreign language. Most recently I've worked with two Swiss children, aged 7 and 9, on their English reading and writing skills. I am a nanny as well, and generally love working with kids! I charge $30-35/hour depending on your location. I live on the Oakland/Berkeley border and am willing to travel. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. Heather Ellsworth inspiredmassage[at]yahoo.com 415-548-0679 ----------------------------------------------- Nov 08 2012 Tutor seeking to help kids find their highest potential! Before moving to the Bay Area this August to pursue my graduate studies in Berkeley, I served as a middle and high school teacher at an independent college preparatory school. I have experience and training working with ELL students, especially with issues of difficult subject matter based on the cultural context of the student in relation to the coursework. If your student is having trouble understanding what class is actually about, the issue may be only partially language. Overcoming this takes effort from your student, but also a teacher who can give your student the background and cultural insight that will help them. I have a lot of experience with this work, and love to do it! My rates are flexible (needs-based). I live on the peninsula and commute regularly to Berkeley.

Different arrangements are possible. We can work together at your place or mine (near Ashby BART). I look forward to hearing from you.
