Hi my name is Rodney i live in thailand but am originally from South africa i have lived and worked in the UK and USA for many years and have traveled to many other countrys around the world. I worked in the mechanical engineering industry for 25 years and before that was in the military for 6 years . I now teach English online for the past two years.
Me as a Teacher
I like to keep my conversational lessons interesting and fun learning a new language can be challenging but with me it will be easy . Don't worry if you are nervous or not confident in your english skills i am here to help. I like to talk to students from different cultures and make their experience learning english a great one. I have a 120 hour tesol/tefl certificate and 2 years teaching experience.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to find out my students interests first and foremost that way they are more ready to talk about things they enjoy . My teaching style is to ask a question and let them complete their answer and then correct their wording if anything needs to be corrected . I try to find out what they hope to achieve by learning english and how it will help them in the future. Finding out what their level of english is makes it alot easier to adjust my teaching style.
