Anne Rubin
Austin, TX

English tutor

I have an excellent education as I majored in English and minored in Social Work for my bachelor’s I received from the University of Texas at Austin. When I was in college, I made sure to take a wide variety of English courses to be able to interpret a wide variety of texts. I took two poetry courses, a world literature course that was particularly comprised of plays, and a global short story course. My upper division GPA upon graduation was a 3.75 which I am proud of. I learned many teaching skills during my college experience. I took “Literature studies for English Teachers”. I learned how to craft lesson plans and how to teach within each student’s zone of proximal development. I also learned about the common obstacles students may have to success, as well as strategies to combat those obstacles. In addition to that class, I have taken an adolescent development class in which I learned the stages of teen and young adult development. I learned what times in the life cycle types of learning are possible. I believe my Social Work background has helped me develop patience and very good listening skills. It might also be worth mentioning that I have a couple months tutoring experience with a friend’s nephew who ended up earning the highest grade in his class. So, I have experience tutoring a teen. Basic skills I possess are essay writing, research paper writing, text research/analyses, how to develop good study habits, help with grammar and sentence structure, and CRIT skills (close reading interpretive tools).

Deborah Minter
Houston, TX

Oxford Graduate. English. Language Arts and CELTA - English as a second language. ESL

I have been teaching for over 30 years in total and I have been teaching English Online now for over four years with a great deal of success. I have happy students who are moving towards their goals and growing in confidence. I am married to an Italian, so I am a language learner myself and I completely understand the challenges faced when trying to learn a new language. I was born and raised in England where I became a Primary School Teacher (teaching children aged 7-11) Later, I became a teacher at an International School in Norway where the children came from all over the World, spoke many different languages and needed support with their English. Subsequently, I studied for and passed the CELTA qualification. This then allowed me to teach English as a Second Language to both adults and children. In addition to this to this, I completed a course (with Future Learn) which enabled me to adapt my teaching skills to teaching online. I believe it's important for my students to feel motivated and engaged, 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 your goals using a variety of resources in order to make lessons lively and interesting. I will provide homework activities, using different media so that you can then go on to practise and reinforce what you have learned. I will always provide feedback for this. I currently live in the U.S. and, when I'm not teaching online, I am a substitute teacher at a local school in order to keep up-to-date with developments in Education.
