In my experience, this is rarely the case and is the product of prior weak teaching and a failure to instill confidence in the student, resulting in a skewed self-perception that has little to do with reality. An experienced student of languages and other subjects myself, I can help you develop the foundational skills in any of my competencies, guaranteeing results through a method that draws upon not only upon a solid knowledge base, but also, a refined way of re-thinking the subject or language. This rethinking of subject matter, regardless of the topic at hand combines traditional techniques with a rational yet intuitive and comparative method, melding them into a multisensory approach to learning. I believe that true learning necessarily involves the entire mind and body, and being more true to the way an individual would acquire information in an immersion or natural setting. Through these means, recall is ultimately stronger and more intuitive. I am comfortable working with all ages, child through adult, and with all experience levels. About ESL: Teaching at an intensive English language program for two years, I have worked with individuals from all backgrounds. I have provided instruction from very basic levels through to highly proficient and advanced levels in speaking, grammar, writing, reading, and listening. I have also helped students with their professional preparedness and job readiness training, and how frequently served as a proofreader for pre-publication manuscripts. Sobre Ensenanza del Ingles: Habiendo ensenado penor dos anos en programas de Ingles Intensivos asociados con una universidad, he trabajado con personas de todos tipos de nivel y formacion en Ingles, y de muchas culturas. He proveido instrucion desde niveles basicos hasta niveles avanzados y profesionales, ayudando estudiantes: * mejorar la fluidez hablada, *en gramatica, *en composicion, * en lectura y en *como poder escuchar mejor. Tambien he ayudado estudiantes con sus preparativos profesionales y en preparacion para entrevistas y he ayudado profesionales editar papeles para publicacion.

Each student is an individual, so I will make sure to get to know the student, his or her experience with the subject, and personality very well, because without this, education is not personalized. I will conduct a very relaxed and informal assessment of the student and can quickly identify the learner's level and best approach and style for teaching him/her. I can therefore begin introducing appropriate level concepts very quickly.
