Valerie S. - San Francisco Tutor or Private Instructor

Profile of Valerie S.

Full-Time, 8 Years of Experience

Possessing a master's degree in TESOL, I have successfully taught all components of English in a college setting, namely reading, writing, speaking and listening. In addition I possess a full-time adult education teaching credential. I have a demonstrated ability to work with others in a collegial manner and possess strong leadership skills, successfully having tutored students from various ethnic, cultural, linguistic and economic backgrounds. In addition to my professional experience and credentials, my personal background makes me an ideal tutor. I am a Caucasian who was born and raised in Japan. As a result, I grew up being both bilingual and bi-cultural, and was also an ESL student for part of that time. This background has given me a high level of empathy for nonnative speakers and for diverse populations, which serves me well not only in classroom and tutoring situations, but in life.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy reading, writing, karaoke (and music in general), and skiing.
