About Linda

Innovative thinker and energetic teacher with strengths in academic English, ESL strategies for second-language learners, reading strategies for struggling readers, along with great affection for gifted and talented students as well as twice-exceptional students. I love English grammar, vocabulary comprehension, poetry, literature, composition. When not reading or writing, I can usually be found in the art museum, antique store, the garden, library, traveling, running, hiking, or speaking Italian, and when I don't have the opportunity to travel, I find an occasional gelato to be a satisfactory substitution.

I have an MFA in poetry, a BFA in English, and a CELTA certificate, along with teaching endorsements in English, ESL, and GT (gifted and talented). I taught English Literature and Language to 7,8, and 9th graders for 10 years, ESL for several years, including several years of work with international students. I also worked for many years doing independent contractor work for hospitals and workplaces as an ESL instructor as well as work for the Utah Arts Council as a poet-in-the-schools in Nevada, Idaho, and Utah, including stints in one-room schoolhouses and extended poetry residencies on the Navajo reservation.

My teaching style is energetic, positive, and thoughtful. I use short skill lessons, modeling, and offer sheltered instruction when introducing new material in order to give students the confidence and hands-on experience to do independent work.

Being a tutor for individual students is rewarding work. My fondest memories involve smiles, fist pumps, and tears of relief when students finally succeed at tasks they never dreamed possible. In my years of experience as a student, tutor, and teacher, I have found that much of effective teaching involves assessing students' needs; evaluating different learning styles and preferences; finding out where students are academically and emotionally; helping them recognize their inherent strengths; and finding and utilizing tools to showcase those strengths and build up any areas that are troublesome.
