Are you interested in gaining fluency in conversation? Do you want to stand out at work? Do you want to feel confident in yourself when speaking in a second language?
I have been teaching English since 2017. In the classroom my goal is for you to speak 70-80% of the time. I will ask questions related to the lessons material, or just make conversation with you related to your personal experience and life. I will promptly and politely correct your grammar and help guide you toward more complete and thoughtful answers.
For children I have a new interactive ESL curriculum for beginners and also offer reading and conversation lessons. These lessons all come with homework.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on relating the material to real world situations or examples. I want to provide you with context to help cement our English practice allowing you to produce it later independently.
I have been teaching English full time since 2017 with over 7000 25-minute lessons for children and over 2000 hours with adults. I have a TEFL, a TESOL, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. I also have a Bachelors of Science degree in Meteorology from The Pennsylvania State University, USA. I also have other professional experience doing sales in New York City.My lessons & teaching style
I use a step by step curriculum which is ideal for students aged 13+. It covers a wide variety of topics and is designed to get you speaking and reading for most of the lesson. My goal with all students is to have you read and speak 70% of the lesson to connect you to the material and maximize your practice. My lessons are visual, engaging, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
My interactive ESL lessons engage with videos and songs and are perfect for a 30 minute lesson. If your child is already more advanced we can read stories, or read and discuss other topics of interest using Reading A-Z and Epic's wide library. They are encouraged to ask questions to help make conversation.My teaching material
