Personal Description:
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Education at McGill University. I hold a BA in English and Spanish, and a Master's in Second Language Education from McGill University.
Tutoring Experience:
I am a former teacher of content-based English as a Second Language immersion for grades 7-9. In addition to k-12 education, I have also taught English as a Second Langauge in a community setting for adult second language learners and tutored adults planning to take the IELTS.
Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching for second language learners centers around a creating a strong foundation of trust between myself and the learner. It is important that the student feels safe and in control. From a pedagogical standpoint, I tend to practice content-based immersion tailored to the student's knowledge and interests. Most importantly though, I feel, is balancing proper scaffolding with incremental challenges so that the learner makes steady progress while feeling supported and capable.
