William
Certified Tutor
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English from the City University of New York, Queens College. I have been a teacher and tutor for over eight years, both in classrooms and online. I have taught all grade levels from kindergarten to adult learners, but the majority of my time has been in middle school and high school. I also hold a TEFL / ESL Certification. I have a great passion for education, and a strong desire to help students discover new knowledge, unlock their abilities, practice critical thinking, and explore their ideas. I believe that education is the key to all future opportunities, and that any student can achieve any dream. I inspire my students to surpass their goals and exceed their expectations. I believe in using multiple differentiated approaches when presenting new materials and concepts, in order to keep all students interested and engaged. I practice patience, empathy, and kindness in all my interactions with students and parents, and I am able to solve problems and resolve any conflicts when they arise. I have extensive experience teaching vocabulary, grammar, phonics, early reading, pronunciation, reading comprehension, literary analysis, poetry (reading and writing), creative writing, academic writing, formal and informal letter writing, public speaking, listening skills, literacy, and English test preparation (SAT, KET, PET, FCE, IGCSE, and IELTS).
