20+ yrs experience

My Name is John Eric Olson. I have a Masters in Education and 20+ years experience teaching students. of many different ages/ levels and nationalities Both in classrooms and online.

My philosophy about education, especially in regards to English language is the learning and fluency in English through reading comprehension and discussion, while simultaneously learning and acquiring knowledge in which to have conversations.

Acquiring experience with the language and with the language learning process rather than deliberately learning words. Experience is important and another thing I find is that very often our thoughts and we have lots of random thoughts and experiences every day and sometimes we don't know what's going to lead to. I think that's an important concept in language learning that instead of trying to deliberately learn words they will become ingrained into our memory reserve if we continue to read and discuss things of interest to us.

About Learning

Philosophy

I believe that each child is unique and should be admired and respected. As their teachers we want to be a good role models teaching by example and being someone they look up to and trust.


Teaching involves giving children the tools to create a happy life for themselves and those around them. I believe that creating the conditions for children to get excited about learning will achieve better results than through being pushed or pressured.

Speaking
 
Of course, we all speak but, you can’t speak if you can’t understand.  The goal ultimately is to speak and speak fluently. We need to have shorter term goals –(actions/ participation) that can help us achieve the longer-term goal (fluency/ proficiency)  
 
My short-term goal advice is always is comprehension.
When speaking with a tutor, many times students leave the lesson feeling very good about themselves and that they were able to communicate on a variety of subjects with the tutor. Comprehension is my ongoing daily goal in my teaching and learning activities ultimately leading to better fluency and proficiency in speaking and conversation.
