EFL for Elementary

I have been teaching English (and ELL/ESL students) for the past 16 years. I specialize in teaching 1st through 6th grade.

I believe in getting to know students, first, before helping students to learn. After students feel welcome in the classroom, they are ready to learn anything! :) Next, I believe in engaging young learners' attention through experiential learning experiences. Last, but not least, speaking, writing, and reading activities should be age-appropriate and fun! :) Lessons must also address the different learning styles of students, as well as any special needs that a student may have.

Over the past 16 years, I have had the pleasure of providing training and support to English and ELL/ESL educators.

I have a master of arts degree in Education and Globalization, and a bachelor of arts degree in Literature and Creative Writing. (from Edinboro University in Edinboro, PA) Next, I possess a TESOL (teaching English to speakers of other languages) certification from the TESOL international school in Florence, Italy. Finally, I earned a TEFL-C certificate (from Columbia University) This is a teaching certification for teaching English to children. Thanks for reading, and have a great day, Ruth p.s.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, running, and relaxing. :)
