About your tutor

Hello! I'm Lara Taylor, a dedicated tutor specializing in teaching English as a Second Language as well as Reasoning Through Language Arts. I have extensive experience teaching ESL to Chinese students, particularly those with very limited to intermediate oral English proficiency. For the seven years that I did classroom teaching in China, I also had a brief online teaching stint with the same university kids at the same university that I last taught at. In both instances, I made sure to focus on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment for beginners. During my time in China, I taught at various universities and developed and implemented lesson plans, made or modified learning assessment rubrics tailored to the needs of my English learners. With a diploma in TESOL, I cater to students at the school, college, and adult/professional levels. My student-centered teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where every student feels valued and motivated to develop their potential. I employ personalized teaching strategies to cater to individual learning styles, ensuring that each student achieves their academic goals. As I've mentioned, my approach is student-centered, emphasizing patience, encouragement, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to create a positive and inclusive classroom atmosphere where students feel motivated to participate and practice their English skills. My goal is to help each student build confidence and achieve their language learning objectives. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and succeed in your ESL journey!

Teaching methodology

As an ESL and GED Reasoning Through Language Arts tutor, I specialize in teaching students at the school, college, and adult/professional levels. My teaching methodology is characterized by its elaborative, interactive, structured, systematic, demonstrative, hands-on, and practical nature. I have researched effective strategies for teaching ESL and GED subjects and incorporate interactive lessons to reinforce learning in key topics. I emphasize practical applications and test strategies to help students excel in their exams. I used a variety of teaching methods, including Total Physical Response (TPR), CLT (Communicative Language Teaching), TBLT (Task-Based Language Teaching) and visual aids and multimedia technology, to help students grasp basic vocabulary and sentence structures while also focused on the semantics and pragmatics of the English language. For example, I often incorporated games and songs to make learning fun and interactive, which helped students feel more comfortable and confident in using English. Additionally, I tailor ESL and GED lessons to each student's academic gaps and future goals to ensure personalized and effective learning. So, in a nutshell, I am a dynamic tutor who strives hard to make learning easy and fun for learners.
