UCLA Graduate, UC Davis Medical Student

I have been passionate about English for a long time. Through elementary and middle school, I enrolled in writing competitions, wrote short stories, and worked on my speaking skills through Oral Language. In high school, I earned A's in all of my English classes. I also scored 5's on my Advanced Placement English Language and Literature exams. I further developed my love of the subject by participating in speech and debate competitions, where I competed with material I had written spanning a multitude of subjects like legislative policy, healthcare, and the environment. I also began tutoring extensively the end of my high school career. I helped students through their writing courses, freshman and sophomore English classes, and even began editing essays for College applications. Spending hours going through course material, explaining grammatical concepts, and helping people restructure their writing has helped me develop my own English skills. I have built upon these experiences in college at UCLA, tutoring Elementary and Middle School students around the Los Angeles area. I have helped dozens of students learn to read, spell, and develop their vocabulary according to their current proficiency, and I have learnt how to adjust my teaching style in order to aid how they learn best. My ultimate goal is to make learning English fun because at the end of the day, words can be powerful depending on how we use them!

passionate online Tutor

I have studied English throughout school and outside of school for 7 years, I was also an English Literacy Tutor for Elementary and High School students. As a bilingual Teacher I understand the difficulties of not only speaking the foreign language, but as well as learning the English grammar in a precise way. As a teacher based on my own personal life experience I have developed various activities including study lessons in order to not only engage the student into the curriculum but also becoming an expert themselves. Each Ages require different learning activities, for instance elementary students main focus of the tutor must be basic reading and writing skills, some activities that I had utilized to help the students was creating vocabulary passports, which uses colors and visual illustrations. Other activities that was effective was running dictation, Topic crosswords, rhyme time. As the grade level is advanced so does the course material, requiring not only a more complex activities, but as well as repetition and implication of the rules into writing practice. Although, writing essays and paragraphs is a common activity that is done in high school, but throughout the tutoring sessions we mainly focus on utilizing reading methods in order to advance the writing the skills. Creating an extensive vocabulary list is seen as one of the activities that students can read and use the vocabularies by writing paragraphs in their daily journal. Reading grammatical errors and rules is not effective until used on day to day activities. High school English requires use of evidence to conduct in- depth literary analysis. Also, reasoning abilities is crucial since the student is required to synthesize ideas in a multiple texts. Some of the activities that can be helpful are using figurative language challenge, six word memoirs, the breakup letter, more importantly introducing the students to the Tattumm curriculum.
