Qualifications

BA from the State University of New York in New Paltz (Magna Cum Laude). Graduated in 2004.


Experience

Teaching English in Polish communities in the State of New York since 2000. While in college in New Paltz, NY (2000-2004) I was tutoring ESL college students. Simultaneous English- Polish translator. As ESL teacher mostly use one-on-one system with emphasis on communicative approach.
2010-20014 tutoring business professionals in New Paltz and Mahopac, NY area.
Helping tools are often various types of audio-visual media including internet. Translation of text and proper pronunciation as well as practice of sentence formation via conversation and in writing form, are very important to be fully immersed with the new language experience. One on-one-tutoring starting with the basic grammar terms, writing and reading is fundamental. Working with two or three students is pretty effective as well. Small writing assignments and tests will help improve student's grammar, tenses and punctuation. Reading own material out loud is also the key to improvement in pronunciation.
