About your english tutor

I am an educator based in Starkville, Mississippi. I have earned my Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education from Mississippi State University. My concentration is in Middle School Education with a K-6 licensure and endorsements in Social Studies and English. I am passionate about improving ESL and EFL education. During my time as a Graduate Research Assistant, I contributed to the development of a "Teaching with Primary Sources" professional development course, and I have co-published and co-presented a lesson plan and article with Mississippi History now. My notable recognitions include winning 1st place at the Graduate Student Research Symposium as well as becoming a Fulbright semi-finalist. Throughout my education, I was acknowledged as a distinguished member of the Phi-Theta Kappa Honor Society and a recipient of various scholarships and awards. I am a native English speaker with intermediate Korean language skills proficiency.

English classes overview

My tutoring sessions incorporates a dynamic ESL teaching methodology that prioritizes engagement, integrating communicative approaches prompting cultural awareness. I first assess my students' needs to tailor engaging and interactive lessons accordingly. These lessons will promote differentiated instruction that supports diverse learners and ongoing assessment to provide feedback for improvement. I will strive to incorporate task-based learning techniques, so students can practice real-life language skills while also integrating reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This learner-centered approach fosters collaboration and autonomy. Regular reflection ensures teaching efficacy. Ultimately, my English lessons will not only cultivate language proficiency but also promote cross-cultural understanding and confidence in communication!
