experienced and friendly ESL tutor/teacher
I am an English teacher with a Masters in Education and teaching/tutoring experience in the U.S. and China. I've taught high school and college students as well as adults. I enjoy working with immigrants in America -- I've lived as a foreign guest in another country, and I know how challenging even little daily activities can be when you face language and culture barriers. Getting to know a range of people from different backgrounds is also just a lot of fun for me. I have taught readin... Read more

Jesse
Spanish Tutor in Iowa City
Growing up, I learned Spanish and English simultaneously. I began my educational career in the U.S. at the age of 5 and my family members are native Spanish speakers. English was taught in school and Spanish was spoken at home. When I began my high school career, I enrolled in an advanced Spanish course that prepared me for the 3 years of Advanced Placement Spanish courses that followed. During my sophomore year, I completed Spanish 4 AP, which enhanced my understanding of grammar and vocab... Read more

Elizabeth
Understand the big picture, as well as the little details
My job is to help the student (you or a family member)--no matter what age--become equipped with strategies to make independent study easier. I do not want to take any more of your time and money than necessary. I will first observe how the student approaches the subject (English or math) on his or her own, noting strengths and areas I can help strengthen. Then, I'll try out different methods and see what helps. I will expect a lot of repetition in this skill building so that it will ... Read more
