Geneva: Portsmouth ACT English tutor
Certified ACT English Tutor in Portsmouth, VA
...improving your language and writing skills can lead to world travel. I also am excited to teach/tutor Japanese language and share the culture I learned with students here. I am a very interactive tutor. I work to create a welcoming environment where my students can find their own passions in learning. Also, I embrace technology, so I prefer to use internet sources whenever possible. I am proficient in Microsoft Office and Excel.... In a typical first session, I will usually sit down with a student (and their parent if they are under 18) and ask what the student expects to get out of the sessions. What goals do they have for our meetings? As well, I ask students to provide a bit of a background on their schooling and the methods they use to study. After that, depending on the subject, I will give a small test to determine the student's strengths and weaknesses. From there, we will work together to develop a schedule and an action plan to achieve those goals.
