Well, it's official. We just had our first training session for our tutors who will begin tutoring ESL students in Title 1 schools throughout the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system. I must say, it was a resounding success. We have done a great job recruiting & hiring some of the best tutors in the area. Each of our ESL Tutors really care about the students.
About our Students:
In Goode Company specializes in ESL tutoring. In our experience, ESL Students who are able to gain a grasp on the English language have much higher scores in their other subjects. With more & more word problems in math classrooms, even math requires a great degree of literacy among students. North Carolina is also introducing a Science test this year for Elementary students which we are working to prepare these ESL students to meet. As language & literacy skills improve, students gain more confidence in the classroom. With greater confidence comes greater academic achievement.
About our Approach:
By using a highly sensory teaching technique, we're able to help students who lack English proficiency learn the language with their own personal experiences. In each class, we build in a selection of various themed experiences for the students to gain a groundwork on which to build their English skills. Bringing the students together with a variety of books & visuals, we are able to express those concepts and experiences into words. As each experience & lesson completes, we are able to build upon previous lessons to forma vocabulary and understanding of science, social studies & ultimately english proficiency. As the students become more capable with English in school, their overall achievement, scores & ability will benefit.
