About the tutor
I have been a hostess for international students for 11 years. I teach students how to integrate into an English community.
I have had experience with integrating Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Czech, and Thai students just to name a few.
With my help, students are able to learn how to:
• catch a bus
• navigate a grocery store
• prepare a meal from an English recipe
• do their homework
• understand homework instructions
• become proficient in texting in English
• understand how to write emails
• have assistance in applying for jobs
• understand how to describe symptoms of
illness to the doctor
• understand directions on taking medication
• become proficient in communicating with
educators
• understand sports instructors
• form friendships with other language groups
• explain symptoms to a pharmacist
• have casual conversations among family and
friends
Both myself and my students feel tearful on having to part, however I maintain contact with all of them, creating long-lasting friendships. We keep in touch as they progress in life, starting careers and families.
In the case of children, I maintain excellent relations with parents, who keep in touch with news of their sons and daughters.
