Deborah MinterHouston, TXOxford Graduate. English. Language Arts and CELTA - English as a second language. ESL
I have been teaching Core Curriculum English for over 30 years and teaching English/Language Arts, Online for over four years with a great deal of success and happy students. All of whom have grown in confidence, gone on to reach their goals and/or pass English, Core Curriculum exams such as State Exams, UK SATs and/or School Entrance Exams (UK) etc.
I love everything about English and Language Arts and would love to help you or your child to develop your skills related to communication, such as, reading, writing, speaking, listening. During lessons we will typically cover a wide range of topics such as grammar, spelling, vocabulary, literature analysis (comprehension), creative writing, and more.
I also have many mature students who just want to go on and continue to explore and improve their knowledge of Literature, whether it is Fiction or Non-Fiction, Classic or Modern, Technical or Everyday Information, an autobiography or a report etc.
I believe it's important to be motivated. So, whatever your ability or needs, I will listen to you in order to gauge a starting point for you. I am interested in your interests and like to build lessons around these using a variety of resources in order to make lessons lively and engaging.
I will provide homework activities, using different media so that you can then go on to practice and reinforce what you have learned during our lesson. Note: I will always provide feedback for this.
