Hi, my name is Jessica, I am a native English speaker from the United States, and I love working as an English tutor. I completed a 150 hour Master Teaching English as a Foreign Language Course, and I am a TEFL/TESOL Certified English Tutor. Over the years I have helped many students of various ages improve their English. My interest in becoming an English Tutor began ten years ago when I had the opportunity to spend time living in Belize Central America for a couple of years. During the time I spent outside the United States, I realized how important it was for English language learners to practice speaking with a native English speaker.Me as a Teacher
The people I met around the world inspired me to develop my positive approach to helping students learn English, drawing from the knowledge and experience I gained traveling internationally, working in Global Business Communications, as well as working as a public-school ESL Tutor. I believe that practice, constructive feedback, and consistent motivation are critical elements in successfully learning English. I have helped many students improve their business English as well as prepare for job interviews, and learn specific English vocabulary for work assignments. Additionally, I have helped many students improve their general English for travel, school, and everyday conversation.My lessons & teaching style
When a student begins taking lessons with me, we first go through an English level placement test so that I can determine what their speaking level is. Once I find out if a student needs to focus on Business English or General English I then create a lesson plan with a specific topic for each lesson that also includes worksheets and sometimes audio or video. Each lesson plan covers the full range of English learner needs, including listening, role-plays, grammar, vocabulary, reading and discussing a variety of issues. While I always have a topic prepared, I am also flexible and can adapt the class to help students with specific English needs.My teaching material

Jessica was very nice and shared a lot of useful information and insights about things that I could improve. She also gave me a few tips to feel more confident and to improve my accent while speaking. I definitely recommend Jessica as a tutor.

This was my first class with Jessica. The session was outstanding. She took care of my needs and explained well during it. She explains on the fly and share her notes afterwards.
