nouns, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, verbs & verb tenses, speech, punctuation, relative clauses

One of the methods that I use when teaching my students grammar is that I make them worksheets, with the punctuation missing, and I have them "correct" the work. Grammar, like writing, is about repetition.

I have a graduate degree in education with a specialization in teaching ESL/EFL, as well as over 13 years of experience.

The function of grammar is to facilitate communication. The rules of grammar help with that. Rules can be broken, certainly, but you have to learn them first and see how they help your writing. Once you're clear on that, you can break rules. And I'll help you learn how to know when to do that.

It is my grasp of foreign languages that makes me an effective English teacher. For instance, learning the complex grammar of Latin and Greek gave me a thorough understanding of English grammar and the ability to relate to other people’s native languages. I have spent many hours proofreading papers for international students. They find my instruction especially informative because I not only fix mistakes but provide an explanation. When I point out the patterns of grammar, similar mistakes show up less and less, and my students feel more confident that they are writing sentences correctly.

I learned English teaching methods through my tutoring experience. Over a span of four months, I gave a Turkish visiting scholar a systematic overview of English grammar and allowed him to apply it through conversation.

Students will create an interactive grammar notebook, teaching the common core curriculum objectives, through: color coding, writing, cutting, folding, and pasting, visuals, exercises, and examples, into their own personal notebook, to help them visualize what they are learning and recall the information when necessary.

We don’t just learn skills and abandon them; instead we continue to reinforce skills and concepts through the sessions.

We practice through writing and attach concepts to this purpose.

Utilize the power of a print-rich environment. Classroom libraries, books, read-alouds, and discussions, allow students a variety of contexts in which to hear a wide variety of sentence constructions.

I use the Common Core State Standards to guide what students need to know for each grade level.
