I’m an English tutor currently residing in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. I’ve taught in the American public school system for 5 years and to university aged adults for 10 years.
I enjoy teaching English as a second language because my students and I have felt a great sense of accomplishment in helping to achieve their academic and professional goals. Not only that, I love speaking with people from all over the world and learning about different cultures.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
We can work together to discover the best resources to use as a basis of our lessons, and we will pursue achievable goals in a realistic time frame. Our discussions will be based on topics that are useful for you and any new vocabulary would be introduced with loads of context and meaning.
Lastly, I teach idiomatic and colloquial phrases that are essential to having a more native like fluency.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I generally like to start with casual conversation. Then we can focus on a particular news article or video, especially the vocabulary and meaning. I ask lots of questions but also give lots of feedback on word usage, sentence structure, pronunciation and grammar.
I love having lessons with Liz! She’s very open to discussing different topics and gives me plenty of room to practice speaking. She also helps me expand my vocabulary by naturally suggesting new words. Her corrections are always clear and helpful. Thanks!
