Yasmine
English Girl with a Passion for Reading, Writing and Literature
I firmly believe that a good tutor can boost a student's confidence in the classroom, where confidence is lacking. I am a lawyer with a passion for the English language, and would love the opportunity to help students become better readers and writers as I believe that it is the key to being able to communicate effectively in today's world. Whilst not a professional teacher, I have had experience assisting youngsters in their homework and I have found it very rewarding. I believe that often, ... Read more

I love elementary education,I can help students get a jump start.

When a student masters the core subjects in primary education the transition to middle school can be a little easier. My favorite subject to teach is Reading. A good reader will have a clearer understanding of the learning process in any subject.My methods of teaching reading are easy for a child to use. Phonics,reading comprehension facts and details, are just a few of the strategies that I use to help ... Read more

Break down language knots and complex issues
My students have come to refer to me as their mentor friend and an effective English tutor for foreign visitors and new arrivals in the United States as well as for current students in Chicago's school system.

I break down complex language in their reading passages and assignments into simple, und... Read more

During my four years as an undergraduate, I spent quite a bit of time studying teaching theory, and then implementing it in both ... Read more

I had my first class of grade school French students when I was seventeen and majoring in French Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I turned our home into a classroom, and my students gathered around the dinin... Read more
