Only one spot left for Jan 2013!

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.

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.

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. 

Warmly,

I have an M.A. In TESL (and English) as well as many years of teaching 
and individual language coaching in written and spoken English.  Guiding 
students in writing strong Statements of Purpose for college and grad 
school admission is a specialty of mine as is TOEFL prep.  I coach  
prospective international Ph.D. students in preparing for the TSE/SPEAK  
test and in oral presentation skills.  Accent reduction is  always addressed.  

My rates are very reasonable.  Different arrangements are possible.

We can work together at your place or mine (near Ashby BART).

I look forward to hearing from you.

With an M.A. in TESL (as well as one in English) to complement  25 years 
of teaching at U. C. Extension and local colleges, I help high school and 
college students improve in all ESL (and general English) skills.  Because 
of my experience, instruction is effective and efficient in written and spoken 
English, test prep and crafting the college essay.  

You will find my rates reasonable. And I live a convenient 2 blocks from  
Ashby BART. 

Call and we'll talk about creating a plan to suit your needs.
