Linguistics student tutors English and ESL in elementary and high school levels to students in Markham

Methodology

My teaching methods will vary depending on how my student learns best. As a tutor, I will encourage my student to ask questions and to be vocal about their areas of struggle. I am looking to provide tutoring to students in high school and elementary school who are having difficulty in essay writing, as well as those studying English as their second language.
I consider myself to be highly detail-oriented, patient and understanding. This means I will certainly devote my attention to all the areas that my student needs help in and will go through material step by step. I am also a big believer in practice, so I will encourage and assign consistent homework exercises to keep the mind active.

Background

I am currently in my third year of my undergraduate degree at York University and I am majoring in Linguistics. I am also working towards completing a Teaching English To Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate with my undergraduate degree.
In my previous work experiences, I developed my skills in customer service. I am now looking to incorporate the knowledge that I have gained from these jobs (and from my studies) into a student-tutor setting!
