I was born and raised in the United States. After graduating from university, I traveled for a long time and then found myself living in Turkey. I lived in Turkey for 10 years and now I live in both Turkey and the United States. (So please be aware that my schedule changes every 6-12 months. I am in Turkey at the moment and will be back in the US in October.)
When I'm not teaching, I'm spending time outside, spending time with friends and family, cooking, climbing, reading, or travelling. People would describe me as genuine, kind, inquisitive, and offbeat.Me as a Teacher
I started teaching English to immigrants in the United States in 2003. I continued to teach off and on for awhile, then I become certified in 2011- and I've been giving private English lessons full-time ever since. I can say that I have plenty of experience (in total over 15 years) teaching ESL learners.
I'm a teacher who spends time on my students outside of lessons. I plan lessons, I write and send notes to my students after every lesson, I help students who need something small edited or proofread, and I spend time learning about the student's native language and finding quick solutions to the problems that they may face.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I meet the student in the middle. After I assess them, I learn what they're looking for and what they need. I not only teach but I am also a coach, a guide, and a tutor. Lessons depend entirely on the student's needs. Typically, I include variety in my lessons. For example, if the student needs grammar lessons, I will teach through speaking, writing, giving lots of examples, repeating a lot, and most importantly giving the student a safe place to practice what they learned and ask all the questions they want.

Joy explains confusing subjects in a very simple and clear way. When she detects your confusion, she customizes the lessons and also gives homework accordingly. We did our fourth lesson and I can say that her methods are really useful. I feel lucky that I found her. I appreciate her help.
