I like to assess my student's individual needs before the first lesson. I send out a tutoring survey to determine my student's needs, goals, and interests. Then I create a lesson plan to match my student's unique learning style. 

I have a Bachelor's degree in International Studies from Marymount Manhattan College. I also have a 144 hour TESOL Certification, which trained me to teach English to speakers of other languages. My training allowed me to have teaching practice with both children and adults. At the various schools that I have worked at, I have gotten individual job training. Most recently, I received training at New York Language Center in Manhattan. These training sessions helped me learn more engaging activities and games for the classroom. They also enabled me to learn strategies for classroom management. 

I charge $40-$50 for my individual lessons. For group lessons, it's a lower price depending on how many students are in the class. 

The trial class price is $25 for the first hour. 

I got started teaching after I moved to Asia after college in 2011. I have always loved children and education, and I quickly became very passionate as a teacher. 

I have worked extensively with children and adults.

I have experience teaching English as a second language, writing, phonics, spelling, and reading classes. 

For the past few months, I have been tutoring an elderly man how to read and write. Recently, he was able to master his long and short vowel sounds. He wrote his first independent paper and has developed a love for writing. 

Students shouldn't be afraid to vocalize their individual needs and preferences. Students should speak up if they feel bored, unmotivated, or confused in the lessons. 

I don't think that they should think through before anything before talking to a teacher. They should feel comfortable enough with their teacher to speak to them about their needs.
