Tutor for Elementary Levels, ESL, and Spanish

I would love to increase my tutoring opportunities in ESL or Spanish, but can also tutor elementary school subjects and English through grade 12. Having lived in two Latin American countries and having practiced Japanese style karate for 30 years and an East Indian meditation system for 18 years, I feel I am culturally "aware" and sensitive to the needs of my students. Taught Japanese karate to children and adults for 20 years; obtained certification as a Panamerican Referee 1999. Refereed in Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Brazil and taught karate referee course for British Columbia and Canada. Worked with children who have learning disabilities, mental health issues, and behavioural problems to teach them to improve study skills, organize their work, and maintain a structure in their routine. Taught English as a Second Language for staff at Arturo Igartua Publicidad in Guadalajara, Mexico, 1974-1975... and in Colombia privately in 2013-2015. Completed 155 hr. TESOL/TEFL (ESL) certification course, including English grammar, punctuation. Tutored students through Community College programs and Adult Basic Education programs as part of their community rehabilitation program. Assisted with program development for 10-week classroom prevocational program. Implemented program and provided follow-up training and monitoring during subsequent work experience placements that led to paid employment. Performed associated report writing to medical, insurance, and legal communities.
