Great River, NY ESL Lessons

As an ethnically mixed immigrant who attended school here since the age of six, I have vast experience teaching the English language to other immigrants and natives alike. I've taken gifted classes throughout elementary, middle and high school, and completed several AP English classes. I attended college at the Miami Dade Honors College, where I completed several advanced English classes as well. I have taught pronunciation, spelling, and grammar to people from many different countries with great success.

My background as a teacher of ESL is extensive. I taught technical English to engineering students at the university (MEPhI) for 8 years. Additionally I have been preparing Russian students for the English State Exam at school and adults for business and private trips to English speaking countries.
As a philologist I am able to pinpoint individual issues and difficulties to help correct problems in language acquisition.

I have being taking English classes since I was 6 years old, all the way to the second year of college. It ranged from the basics, of course, to grammar, phrases, and literature. Some of the requirements for graduation were to write poems, essays and opinions on novels or scripts and the history of literature in the United States, Spain and Puerto Rico. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Political Science with minors in French, Spanish and English. I have been teaching English as a second language (ESL) for over 2 years now. It started with a friend and fellow teacher's request to teach 2 Spanish-speaking small business owners which wanted to speak English fluently to communicate with their customers. They are the ones who have inspired me to add this subject here at WyzAnt to give others the opportunity to learn with me. They were very satisfied and are doing better in their businesses. What they like the most about my lessons is that I don't teach using boring grammar, verb conjugation ...

I have experience coaching friends with little or no knowledge of English. I especially enjoy coaching students whose language I do not speak, as this approximates best their everyday conversations with people they encounter in the US.
