I have always stayed at home with my son so I am looking for opportunities to work at home. <br /><br /><br />Let me share my journey.<br /><br />In 1982 when I was a teaching assistant in the English Dept. at Duquesne University, I strolled over to the ELI (English Language Institute). It was a couple buildings away from College Hall where I taught. The waiting room was full of international students. They smiled when I walked in and some of them bowed to me. I could tell they were right off the boat because of the way they dressed. I spoke to the receptionist and started to fill out a form to tutor. Sherry Goldman walked in with her glowing smile and my life changed forever. (Sherry was the director in 1982.) She introduced me to some of the students sitting in the waiting room. She served tea and we all sat around chatting, me wanting to know about them and their countries and them trying to communicate with me in that broken English sort of way. Like if you put a bunch of words in a Yahtzee cup and shook them up and spilled them out. However the words landed, that was their sentence. I listened. Their passion came through to me. They traveled all around the world to study here, in my country. But there was a bear growling over their shoulder everywhere they went; and it was speaking English. The problem was: language, how to use it. I understood their challenges. I thought to myself, “I can really help these people. They wanna learn!” After I left the ELI that day, my life changed forever. I realized that I really enjoyed being with international people. They were so honest and so eager to learn. Later I realized that I enjoyed teaching them how to speak English. Since that day, I changed my graduate study to a MA in Applied Linguistics (teaching ESL). Ever since then I have taught ESL.<br /><br />In my book, Get Them Talking ! An ESL Tutoring Guide, I outline how to teach international people how to speak English. I also show you how to start a home tutoring business. In my book, I can tell you how to teach English step-by-step even if you have never taught a day in your life. I also present all the details of running a tutoring business.<br />KimberlyEditor in Hawaiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039368784349406311noreply@blogger.com
