As an ESL/reading tutor, I specialize in teaching students at all levels of elementary education. My teaching methodology involves focusing on speaking practice, interactive discussions, and reading comprehension. I believe in helping students excel in literature analysis and reading, which are crucial for academic success and beyond. Drawing from my own studies in literary analysis and effective communication strategies, I aim to enhance reading comprehension skills in my students. Additionally, I incorporate peer reviews to encourage constructive feedback and create a sense of community in the learning process. My goal is to make learning engaging and effective for every student I work with. I aim to create active participation in my class to support retention of ongoing learning.
