I have a Master's in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) and Bachelor's degree in art education. I am a certified New York State ESL teacher. I have taught for 6 1/2 years in public schools as an ESL teacher working with students ages K-5. I have been teaching English as a Foreign language since March 2020. I have loved being able to do this online. I love getting to share culture and language with others, and learning from my students in return.I love sharing my joy of learning with students. I try to focus my teaching on student interests, whenever possible. Sometimes this means that I focus reading on a particular subject or focus writing on a particular genre. Other times I have turned the subject into an interactive game through gamification! I have designed lessons around mysteries and even Harry Potter! I have worked with students from all over the world and at all different levels in their English. I have experience not only as a teacher, but as a student of another language as well. I know the hard work that goes into learning another language.

I have a degree in art education. As a public school teacher, I helped run an art club where we worked on drawing skills. I work with many homeschool students to teach them the elements and principles of art as well as art history. During those classes we work with a variety of mediums including pencil, charcoal, watercolor, polymer clay, marker, colored pencil, and ink. I have worked with several students on portfolio prep for various private schools and colleges.

I am a professional portrait artist and regularly work on pet and people portraits for clients. My portraits are realistic graphite pencil drawings. I enjoy exploring different styles and techniques in drawing. I have been tutoring drawing here on Wyzant since November 2020. I specialize in teaching skills in graphite drawing of still life, landscape and figure.

I look forward to taking an educational journey with you! Please contact me with questions and to schedule a lesson.

Great teacher, highly recommend

Ms. Kim has been working with my son for some time now, and her dedication has been nothing short of remarkable. Her kindness and patience stand out in her teaching approach, creating a nurturing and supportive environment for learning. She employs a systematic method that not only promotes progress in my son’s knowledge but also engages him thoroughly. He thoroughly enjoys her approach and the stimulating discussions they have. Based on our experience, I highly recommend Ms. Kim to anyone seeking a teacher who can make a real difference in their child’s educational journey.

Fantastic

Meredith is very organized and prepared. I sent her existing drawings and she knew just what I needed to learn. She is very knowledgeable and patient. We did examples based on my needs. We repeated tasks so that I could practice and ask more questions. I’m looking forward to my next lesson with her. She is a fantastic tutor.

Meredith is a WONDERFUL tutor!

Meredith has been my sons tutor for art for almost a year now. He looks forward to his lesson every week and he says he always learns something new. Meredith always has new lessons for him ready to go that he is interested in. I always get a recap after class how the lesson went and what he is excelling at and what will be worked on the following week. I am very happy and pleased with how these lessons are improving his art skills. I have nothing but positive things to say and would recomend her if you are looking for an AMAZING tutor.

Very knowledgeable and patient

In our first class, Meredith spent an adequate amount of time discovering where I am in my drawing abilities, she gave me a couple good exercises to practice before our next session and gave me several links to resources to help me through the exercises. I am very excited about our next session and feel that she will be a good guiding force in my development.

Meredith spent every minute of the session focused on my daughter. She is nine years of age and in the 4th grade. My daughter spent the time involved and willing to do more writing with Meredith.
