ESL Tutor Prince George

| Hi there! I am able to teach any biology/chemistry subject and piano! I have a BSc in Microbiology from UVic and I graduated in 2018. I also have my grade 10 RCM piano and I am able to tutor that as well!

| I use the Reading Reflex method by Guinness and Guinness, and some Montessori materials. What I do: ~ Assess your child's current abilities ~ Plan the course and goals for your child ~ Teach reading (decoding of) words based on phonics ~ Teach sight words such as "the" ~ Encourage reading fluency and interpretation for effective comprehension ~ Focus on Dolce words ~ Teach basic sentence structure As an experienced ECE Preschool Teacher, I took many classes and workshops on brain development, literacy and teaching children to read. I have helped many children in my classes learn to read over the years. I have also been a reading tutor and helped several clients over a 2 year period. I have materials, but I also make materials and games based on the interests of the child I am working with. When children are taught using fun, interactive and physically active activities based on their own interests, and receive immediate positive personal encouragment they are more engaged and learn faster. Tutoring your child for 50 minutes means I spend a couple of hours preparing each tailored and specific lesson, and buying the relevant supplies. This is reflected in the fee. Tutoring is at my house in Vanway.

| I have served as an English tutor to an adult immigrant family member. I coach soccer and basketball at a local elementary school. I serve as a teen mentor for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada program. As a Biomedical Studies major graduate, I have tutored and provided guidance to students younger than me within the same discipline within courses such as ethics, chemistry, biology, genetics, etc. I am also an online Rural E-mentor for UBC. I have babysat and worked with a younger child on the autism spectrum in order to aid in speech and communication.

| I have good communication skills, both verbal and written. I am able to convey information clearly and effectively. I also have interpersonal skills to build rapport with my students and to be able to create a positive learning environment. I have a background in mathematics, including a deep understanding of the subject matter, as well as experience in teaching and tutoring math to students of various ages and skill levels. My hometown is Mombasa where I tutored kids aging 10-14 years. I have tutored kids up to the 8th grade, the concepts I have focused on are arithmetics, algebra, geometry and patterns.

| I wish to teach to children not as a job but as a passion and I will always try to give 100%.

| I am a university student, and have mentored many students over the past year. I have taken a number of education classes over the past years, and am excited to apply that knowledge! I also have extensive experience in babysitting, and am very patient when caring for and helping children.

| I've helped tutor grade 11 students and helped a few younger students whenever I could.
