What questions should I ask an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor during the first meeting?

Common goals of hiring an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor are: to improve grades, simplify abstract concepts or complex notions and prepare for exams. Therefore, it’s important to ask your tutor questions, such as the process they use to help students they’ve worked with in the past; if they are familiar with your school’s curriculum; and how long they are willing to commit to helping you with your English as a Second Language (ESL) class. You may get back on track after a couple of tutoring sessions or may need long-term help that could require a tutor staying with you the entire school year - this could also be discussed with them during the first meeting.

The Ohio State University

Need help with math, language, logic, science, or technology? I'm here for you!

Aloha, friend! My name is Lucas Jarrett, and I’m an online tutor! If I had to characterize my approach to helping people learn in simple terms, I would say that I believe education is a matter of teaching adaptability. The ability to adapt, or the capacity to change, is the fundamental skill of learning all things. We must always be prepared to adopt new ways of being. When we study life, we study the infinite; and when we study the infinite, our mindsets must be similar, or else we will not see everything that we could have seen. To realize that learning is the art of changing is to begin learning everything more easily. My primary goal is to help my students see and apply this awareness when studying anything they hope to do well. I have professional experience teaching many subjects, including arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, philosophy, biology, history, psychology, music, billiards, writing, research, literature, English, Java, Python, HTML, CSS, SQL, and more. Furthermore, I’m happy to offer insight into cognitive habits that often bring academic trouble, such as perfectionism, motivation, inattention, depression, and anxiety. I do not limit my educational strategies to any single methodology; I believe that every individual has a unique path in life, and I therefore work to be responsive to the specific, immediate needs of my students. Context is everything. If I'm trying to help a student become a better reader and writer, I may recommend that we explore good literature together; if I am helping someone prepare for a test in geometry, good practice problems and instructional resources will likely be part of the process. I tutor many subjects not listed here, so feel free to ask about anything! If I know how to help in a reasonable timeframe, I will help! 🙂 Note: I offer discounts to people who have financial need or pay in bulk. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss options if my posted rate is beyond your budget!

Subjects: Creative Writing, Critical Thinking, English, English Language Arts, English as a Second Language (ESL), Essay Writing, Math, Natural Sciences, Object Oriented Programming, Philosophy, Proofreading, Psychology, Reading, Sociology, Writing
