Doris: Akron tutor

Certified Tutor

As a passionate and dedicated ESL educator with over 10 years of experience, I am excited to apply for the online teaching position at Varsity Tutors. My journey as an ESL teacher has been driven by my deep commitment to helping adult learners achieve their language goals and empowering them with the skills needed to succeed in an English-speaking environment.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse adult learners from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. This has enriched my understanding of the unique challenges and aspirations that adult ESL students face. I believe that effective language learning goes beyond grammar and vocabulary; it involves fostering confidence, critical thinking, and cultural awareness.

My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging virtual classroom where students feel comfortable taking risks and expressing themselves in English. I utilize a variety of instructional techniques, including interactive multimedia resources, real-life scenarios, and personalized learning plans, to cater to the individual needs and learning styles of my students. My goal is to create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that encourages active participation and collaboration.
