LoginGabriela - Edinburgh tutor
Information About Gabriela:
Personal Description:
I possess knowledge and understanding of a lifelong learning approach to adult literacy and numeracy / ESOL and educational guidance and I have ESOL tutoring experience both in UK and abroad. I am enthusiastic and resourceful and I am able to adopt a flexible approach to work.
Teaching Experience:
My past work experience includes five years of teaching EFL to Romanian postgraduate students at the Naval Academy in Constanta. In addition to teaching six hour per day English intensive courses and administering placement and achievement tests to students, my job responsabilities related to administrative duties such as timetabling for different language courses; in-service teacher development and training workshops on methodology-related topics (Developing learners' autonomy, Material development for General English, Task-based/ Communicative syllabus design, Teacher education and supervision, Integrated approaches to testing etc); responsibility and managing the resource centre for refreshment English courses; developing needs analysis questionnaires and interpreting statistical data; ongoing assistance and report writing to the head of department.
Tutoring Approach:
As stated above my work experience is based on teaching English intensive courses to adult professional students who needed to develop their communicative and intercultural competence so as to function within an international environment. My approach to teaching is eclectic based on the assumption that the teacher needs to cater for various individual learning styles. However I tend to employ a lifelong learning teaching approach training students for the development of autonomous skills and effective learning strategies that would enable them to maintain and improve their linguistic level of English long after the course finishes.
