Native (American) English Speaking Tutor (IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, Academic Tuition)

Experience

Hello! My name is Steph, and I am from sunny California. I am a TESOL/TEFL certified English teacher with six years of experience teaching English and working with non-native English speakers.  An avid language learner myself, I understand just how challenging it is to learn a foreign language. I graduated from Georgetown University with a bachelor’s degree in Arabic Language and, then, from Hamad bin Khalifa University with a master’s in Translation Studies. I lived, studied, and worked in the Middle East (Qatar) for eight years where I fell in love with the language, the culture, and the people. There, I gained experience teaching in language centers to large groups of students and one-on-one as a private tutor. During my teaching career, I have taught business and conversational English, SAT, IELTS, TOEFL classes. As a tutor, I have worked with students studying at Qatar Academy (Al Wakra and Doha), Sherborne School, the American School in Doha, Qatar University, TAMU-Q, and VCU-Q.

Tutoring Approach

I recently moved back to my hometown in California; however, I continue to enjoy teaching students from the region and all over the world! Teaching English is my passion. I enjoy helping students reach their language learning goals. Whether you are a complete beginner or advanced, I have experience with all ranges of learners. During my teaching career, I have taught business and conversational English, SAT, IELTS, TOEFL classes.  Tell me what your language learning goals are, and I will develop customized lesson plans to help you reach your goals. My classes are highly interactive and engaging. I am patient and encouraging. I want you to feel comfortable speaking even if you make mistakes. This is the only way to learn!  Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I really look forward to meeting you!

I found Ina on Private Tutor, I was looking for 6.5 in General IELTS for Immigration purpose and she helped me reach my target. At first I was skeptical, I have tried other teachers before and all of them were not sure I would pass from the first try, she believed in me and made me believe I could get the score I want from the first try, I would highly recommend her for IELTS students, she always comes prepared and she was very patient with me.

We can work on practice tests together and I can also demonstrate how to solve problems. The student will need to have a laptop or desktop computer and internet connection. I am happy to do a free twenty minute demonstration lesson.

I didn�t know any techniques or strategies about the SAT. Our school didn�t give us any help with the format or structure of the SAT. My friend highly recommended Melissa but I was skeptical. I had never done online tutoring and I was worried about the technical problems. I didn�t know if it would work. It is actually super interactive through the whiteboard and face to face video which is super helpful. There are almost no technical problems and the one time we did have a problem, Melissa had a backup app so we could continue the lesson no problem. She makes me feel confident and she is positive and encouraging which is motivating. I increased my score 220 points after working with Melissa. If you want to really improve your score, hire Melissa!

I wanted to improve my SAT grade and Melissa was highly recommended to me by a friend. I like how she breaks down the Math problems and then makes me do an extra problem to help me really understand the concept. She is very flexible and focuses on my weaknesses which helps a lot. She creates a cheat sheet to help me remember the strategies I need to use. I was nervous about online tutoring, but it turned out better than face to face tutoring. We don�t waste time so it�s more productive. After working with Melissa, my SAT improved by 100 points! I felt like the tutoring sessions were worth the money my parents spent.

I couldn't organize my thoughts clearly on my college essays. I didn't know what to include or what type of format to follow. With Melissa's assistance, I was immediately at ease. She reassured me and tackled each problem from the start. My writing skills and technique improved. The stress with your school work, tests, or college applications will significantly decrease with Melissa�s help. The way Melissa explains writing, the questions she asks and the guidelines she provides makes writing easier and you will discover your own unique writing style. These lessons also help me in my high school classes such as Literature and Speech. I'm eternally grateful for Melissa's help.

I've worked with Melissa to get the score band I was looking for in IELTS. Actually, she is very specific and well organized, she tailors a study plan focusing on the student's weaknesses and enhances his/her confidence to achieve the goal. Furthermore, studying online is way more convenient than going to an institute, and Melissa makes it even easier as she is very flexible on timing and sessions' schedule.

I didn’t know how to approach the ACT at first, my math skills were very low. Melissa guided me through each question and helped me understand the strategies to get a high score. Not only that, but she helped me with the IELTS test, and my writing skills improved tremendously and eventually I achieved high scores. I’m truly grateful for her aid and couldn’t have asked for a more a better equipped teacher. She also helped me with my college applications which really reduced my stress. I promise you won’t regret her tutoring you.

Melissa has also been helping my daughter to improve her reading and writing skills in general.  Melissa is friendly, dynamic, and professional.

Melissa has been tutoring our freshman since last November in English. Our student studies at the American School of Doha.

Our student has been working on the writing structure to be concise with Melissa’s great explanations and guidance. The sessions are engaging and supportive. Melissa is patience and kind and will always adjust the teaching hours to our student’s needs. Apart from the improvement in the grades, we are observing growth in our student, especially in writing. We highly recommend her as a tutor.

Education

Tefl certified

Experience

I have taught both privately and in various centers in Qatar and enjoy seeing results from my students. I am a fun skilled teacher / tutor that  enjoys helping others achieve their goals in the areas of speaking, reading, grammar and listening. I have dealt with different ages from children to adults and taught people from different cultures and nationalities. Teaching is rewarding as I have the opportunity to see my students use new skills learnt taught to them by me and it's wonderful to see their confidence grow whilst learning a foreign language. Another plus is that I also get the chance to learn new things from my students too! Please note I'm also available in the mornings should anyone require tuition early in the day.

Tutoring Approach

The communicative approach exposes students to "real life" scenarios as opposed to traditional "text book" based learning. Learning a new language should be fun and games and challenges are incorpated into my lessons. Role plays are also beneficial as they prepare students for "real life"'language learning.
