ESTHER KIM

Dorothy Chan, on observing one of my tutoring sessions in the RWC (Fall 2017)

​

​

"Her pedagogy strikes an optimal balance between accommodating student needs and asserting student independence."

​

"She constantly related any writing points back to the issue of audience and how important audience is when constructing an argument...These techniques also help students gain confidence in their own ideas."

​

"She is thoughtful and well organized, engaging and yet practical. She is good at communicating and clearly cares about student success."

Jessie King, on observing one of my tutoring sessions in the RWC (Fall 2018)

​

​

"In suggesting improvements, she maintained inclusive, non-directive language always checking in with the student to make sure they were on the same page."

 

"Esther asked the student if she remembered how anxious she was about writing the research paper. The student nodded saying how much more confidence she had after working with Esther."

​

"Esther successfully maintained a student-centered, yet collaborative tutoring session that provided the student with concrete skills, specific methods of research, and a number of options for moving forward with the paper...while using inclusive, attentive, yet professional body language that told the student she was important, intelligent, and capable of the assignment’s requirements."
