...can learn. I believe that the only reason a student may be struggling is because material isn't being taught in the way that suits the individual. I try to uncover the different ways each student learns and present information in ways that make more sense to each student. I always try to make learning personal.

...that are engaging and interactive. I can create a syllabus that addresses critical student needs, using effective sequencing. I'm also able to modify games and lesson plans for a variety of proficiency levels, age groups and learning styles and have a proven track record of motivating and inspiring ESL students for maximum language acquisition.... My objectives are to help students become linguistically and socially competent, so that they become confident speakers, effective writers, careful readers and attentive listeners. In supporting my student's learning, my lessons move from controlled production to more free, allowing the student more independence as they begin to master new concepts. I follow the general principle of " I +1" and introduce information that is slightly above the student's current competency level. Thematic units are culturally relevant, using real information and emphasizing the student's interest and their choices. Student-centered lessons, rather than teacher-centered lessons, is the rule. Language learning is not linear, so lessons may be cyclical in nature, offering more complex looks into revisited subjects. When I'm designing a unit plan or instructing, my lessons are in the sequence of A.R.P.E.E. (Anticipation, Reception, Production, Extension, Evaluation). Finally, I agree with the top linguists in the field today that students acquire language best when the atmosphere is relaxed, fun, engaging and positive!

I am an education professional who helps others climb towards their language learning aspirations in both ESOL and Spanish. In addition, I excel in assisting students with organizational skills and study habits.
