May 06 2012 I'm taking reservations for the summer - spots fill up very fast!! I am an experienced, credentialed teacher who teaches ESL to adults and children! 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! Bronwyn Harris bronwyn_harris[at]yahoo.com 510-589-3786 ----------------------------------------------- Apr 05 2012 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.

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.

From 2006 to 2008, I taught English as a second language in St. Petersburg, Russia to children and adults in group classes and one-on-one tutoring. I worked with children as young as three years old all the way up to adults. I have a BA degree in Anthropology and Russian from Reed College and I also studied Photography at the School of Visual Arts.

We can focus on whatever area of English you prefer. I have material, but I also buy other books according to your level. I look forward to hearing from you. Veronica Wagenet quiaik[at]gmail.com ----------------------------------------------- Jul 23 2011 My name is Dorit Perry and I recently completed my third year teaching 9th and 11th grade English at Berkeley High. I had many EL students in my BHS classes, and observed how they sometimes struggled with low self-confidence in English. I am a child of immigrants and have also lived abroad, qualities which make me empathic to the EL experience. As a trilingual person, I am aware of differences in language structure and pronunciation. I can provide the support in English Language Arts that helps EL students succeed. I work with pre-teens, teens, college students, and adults. Resume, pricing sheet, and testimonials available upon request. About me: I graduated from UCLA with a 4.00 GPA, earned an MA from the California Institute of Integral Studies, and hold a CA teaching credential. Over the past 15 years, I worked as an academic and life coach for over 1,000 college students, tutored at Score Educational Centers, and pursued acting in LA. www.doritperry.com Dorit Perry info[at]doritperry.com 510-417-9291 ----------------------------------------------- Jul 13 2011 I am on break from Berkeley Adult School as an ESL teacher.
