Hi, I am Lorraine from Sacramento California. I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in English Language Teaching. I have been a professional English teacher for 18 years now with 7 solid years of multicultural classroom experience. In 2010, I ventured out teaching English online and came to really like it. Since then, I have helped thousands of students from all over the world achieved their goals – whether it’s for job-related communications or job interviews, taking English proficiency tests, or simply working on improving general English in particular with their communication skills.Me as a Teacher
Over the years, I have collated useful ESL materials which includes books, audios, weblinks, and videos to expedite the learning process depending on student’s current English level. In addition to that, I help students become self- sufficient by sharing real life language from some my interests which encompasses – trips within the US and abroad, cooking, home decorating, outdoor sports and activities , and major sporting events. I have a wide array of topics for discussion - politics, public holidays, life style in California and the cultural and social values of the US. I work well with students of ages 6-60.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are centered on individual language learner's goal. I make it sure I am using the appropriate materials for the student's current level. My classes are never dull as I make it as interesting and practical as it can be.My teaching material
