Nachhilfe ESL

Intelligent, Ivy-league educated, Multi-cultural (lived and educated in Asia, Europe and America), patient, kind manner with a genuine interest in teaching and love of learning!

I am an experienced personal tutor used to working with adults and children of all levels. I have worked with children with special needs and learning difficulties, children and adults seeking to improve their general English skills, and those wishing to learn English as a second language. I am patient and diligent in my approach to teaching and will provide carefully prepared lessons and tasks according to each student's individual needs.

With over four years of teaching experience overseas and locally, I pride myself in being an excellent tutor in many areas, namely Music (Organ/Keyboard/Piano/Theory), Bahasa Malaysia, English (also ESL) and Science. I have a Honours degree in Chemistry from the Malaysian University of Science and a Diploma in TESOL from the London Teachers Training College. My music qualifications were awarded by Technics Music Academy, Japan as well as Trinity-Guildhall, and I have performed at various concerts and was the resident organist at church for about 5 years. Currently, I am pursuing the Graduate Diploma in Education at UWA.

My students are from various backgrounds and from ages ranging from 6 years to adults. I am familiar with the school syllabuses up to Year 12. Lessons offered are tailored to suit the individual needs of students in order to help them develop the passion for learning through interactive and creative methods - excellent results are guaranteed! Constant feedback is provided to parents so that they are able to monitor and manage expectations.

I have worked as a substitute teacher in New Zealand and I have tutored ESL students in Hong Kong. My background as a journalist and newspaper sub-editor makes me well qualified to guide students in the correct use of English and to improve their writing skills. I am a mother of two young children and I appreciate the patience and sensitivity required to tutor both children and adults. While I am available to tutor face-to-face (in Sydney, Australia), I am just as eager to tutor online. My knowledge of French and Danish is an additional asset. I majored in history at university and I keep abreast of current affairs.

I am very patient, my English is very clear, I am friendly and easy to talk to

I am an outgoing, energetic and warm tutor. I don't give up easily, and I take initiative when it comes to teaching. My objective is always for my student to reach his or her full potential.

I have a very strong interest in pursuing a teaching career. Initially I wanted to pursue a high school teaching career, so I had a few experiences of taking classes of year 7-11 students in secondary schools. So I am comfortable tutoring Year 7-12 students with their Japanese. It is my goal to engage the students not only in the language learning itself, but also to the cultural aspects of Japan. I have learnt lessons on various Japanese cultural activities, through my visit to Japan and through assistance from a Japanese native living in Melbourne.

Since I also have a degree in IT, I am also quite familiar with tutoring Year 7-9 students doing IT. I am quite familiar with the following Microsoft Office Applications: Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint, Front Page, Outlook,
Other programs I am familiar with include: Dreamweaver, Creating Web Pages, Windows Movie Maker, MYOB.

Since I have experiences tutoring foreign language students, I can offer some Year 7-9 ESL tutoring also. I am quite comfortable to Primary School kids with their Maths also.

I like to teach students in language because it can help them to communicate the
whole world. I know Mandarin, English, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokien, Bahasa
Malaysia, Japanese. I am excellent good on them because my that is my family

Such as listening, watching drama or movie, look at the picture to lead them easy to learn the new language. Besides that, when I found that my students pass the language examination which provided in Australia, I'll be a tour guide to bring my students to travel the place for example like the students learn japanese, I'll bring my students travel in Japan. I've to inform you that I am from Malaysia and studying in RMIT University. Maybe we can have a try class for free, after that you only let me know whether you want to take me as your tutor or not. ... I'll reply your email as soon as possible.

I can say.. I am good :) , honestly !

I have excellent verbal and written communication skills with attention to detail. I am a very patient tutor who's goal is to help the student in the best way possible to achieve his or her goal in the subject of extra need.

I enjoy heping people learn and get better at languages. I always focus on using 100% target language when teaching it.

I am an enthusiastic tutor who seeks to tailor each lesson to the needs of the student, injecting energy into an otherwise tricky or tedious grammar topic. I enjoy working with all ages and all levels. Although I am just completing my first year of teaching I have had a variety of teaching experiences, including a range of different students and locations from India to Brighton. I believe that flexibility in the classroom is key to creating a productive learning environment for the learner and try to keep lessons dynamic and interesting.

If you are committed, I can guarantee success. Furthermore, I am quite positive that you will share my passion for these subjects very soon.
