Hello! My name is Eminor (my preferred name!), I'm a state certified teacher with many years of experience teaching and tutoring both in and out of the classroom, and I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals. I hope to get to know you in person soon, but until then, here are my qualifications and interests. See you soon! Qualifications: - Graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University with a BA in Classics, Greek focus, and a minor in Japanese. - Graduated with Merit (UK equivalent of a 3.0 GPA) from The University of Nottingham in England, Master's in Ancient History. - Texas state certified to teach English both level and advanced for grades 9-12. - More than a decade of tutoring experience in English language arts, foreign language, and study skills; five years of classroom teaching experience: one year at a private academy of students with learning differences and disabilities and four years in public school. - Have taught students as young as 8 years old and as old as 63 - Coached and ran academic clubs and extracurricular clubs such as state spelling and writing competitions and creative writing clubs. - My proudest accomplishments to date include teaching an elementary student to love classical literature and one of my Latin students going on to join and excel in college translation courses as only a junior in high school. Interests: - Reading and creative writing such as short stories, poetry, and even fanfiction! - Singing: I hope to resume voice lessons soon! - Jogging - Watching foreign television such as anime or BBC programs - And of course studying languages! SPECIAL NOTE: I have experience in door-to-door sales and am willing to teach what I know, help analyze your numbers and performance, etc. TakeLessons doesn't have such a specialized course listing, so if you want that service, please select any kind of lesson and just inform me directly that you want this service. My experience comes through Third Coast Events as one of their top account managers in three different campaigns, so I have a wide breadth of experience.

I have a passion for ancient Greece (especially the Orphic hymns) and am lucky to have such a wonderful guide and tutor. Eminor has been so helpful in teaching me grammar (and checking my Greek translation homework!), and in providing commentary on one of the hymns. I can't wait to dig in more!

Emily is highly motivated and recommended, we have seen such an improvement in my grandson's reading skills. For a 14 year old boy he really looks forward to his sessions with Emily online. 5 Stars for sure.

Experience

Greek/Latin Tutor

Aug, 2011 - May, 2013

Texas A&M University Dept. of International Studies

I made myself available at set times each week to struggling students in beginner and intermediate courses. I also allowed students to set up extra meetings outside of my set hours to help them prepare for exams.

English Teacher

Aug, 2018 - Jun, 2022

Magnolia High School

I was a sophomore/freshman English level and English Advanced teacher. I also coached the UIL Spelling team.

Japanese Elective Instructor

Sep, 2015 - May, 2016

Angles Academy

As an independent contractor I taught the middle and high school Japanese elective courses at Angles Academy, a private academy whose philosophy is that all children can learn and whose mission is to prove that with small classes and individualized teaching strategies.

Private Tutor

Dec, 2014 - Nov, 2016

Private

I was an independent contractor with this company to tutor in English language arts, GRE exam prep, elementary math, Latin, Greek, and Japanese.

Greek Teacher

Nov, 2013 - Jun, 2014

Self-Employed

A former teacher of mine referred a struggling high-school student of his to me. The student was ADD and had missed several classes due to illness. My job was to teach him the Greek he should have been learning in class to prepare him to rejoin his classmates in the following school-year.

Japanese Grader

Aug, 2012 - May, 2013

Texas A&M Dept. of International Studies

I graded assignments, quizzes, and exams for all levels of Japanese classes, excepting advanced exams.

Japanese Tutor

Jan, 2012 - May, 2013

Texas A&M Dept. of International Studies

I made myself available as needed to all levels of current Japanese students to help with homework, exam preparation, and study strategies. I was also occasionally asked by a teacher to teach a student who had, due to injury, illness, etc., missed too many classes to continue without extra help. My job in that case was to teach all the language which the student had missed and prepare them to continue with their classmates.
