Rhobie P Underwood

My name is Rhobie Ann Underwood and I am currently an adjunct teacher at the University of Northern Texas. Because of my vast experience in both in person and online sessions, engaging lessons, and commitment to collaborative and individual learning, I believe that I can offer high-quality, fun, stimulating, and intensive lessons to the students around the globe.

My teaching experiences could be divided into three different types. The first type would be the part-time jobs in the Philippines as an English college instructor for a computer school, a face-to-face tutor for Koreans, and an English online teacher for Chinese and Taiwanese. The second type is full-time teaching which happened mostly in Thailand, which gave me an opportunity to teach not just one but at different levels. I had experience teaching from Kinder to Grade 11 (Thai, Brazilian, Malaysian), as well as Thai teachers, and university and immigration staff. I teach the teachers how to speak English and how to teach English in a classroom. I teach the university and immigration staff basic conversations as well as advanced English so they can have better opportunities in their job as well as help them gain confidence when talking to English speakers. The third type of teaching experience would be the teaching assistantship that was granted to me here in the USA. I teach English 180 and I also work as a writing center consultant at the University Writing Center. I help students to become curious, purpose-driven, passionate, and credible writers, readers, and researchers.
