Hi, my name's Erin and I've been teaching English in Sevilla, Spain since 2008. I'm originally from Wisconsin in the United States, which is between Canada and Chicago. I have a degree in social work, but after working as a youth supervisor, I decided that it wasn't for me and I hopped on a plane to Sevilla to teach English and I haven't looked back! In Sevilla, I mostly spend time with my friends, having a few beers or glasses of wine and some tapas (small dishes of food from Southern Spain). I also enjoy reading, watching tv series, doing strength training workouts at home and trying out new recipes when cooking. I also love going to the beach and going camping.Me as a Teacher
I have a TEFL certificate from TEFL International and I've also taught in academies or have given private lessons since 2008. As a teacher, I really care about my students and try to help them and give them support as much as I can. I always try to explain things as thoroughly as possible, often by giving examples or playing games, if you're interested, to help reinforce what we're studying. I also like using humor in my class to keep things interesting.My lessons & teaching style
I like to give dynamic lessons to keep everyone interested through games, activities, songs or videos. I try to make sure that each lesson incorporates some sort of skills needed when learning a language, such as reading, writing, listening and speaking. I sometimes also use pop culture in my classes, whether it's talking about a popular song, tv programme or film, using different kinds of apps in lesson plans or talking about current events. I cater to my students' needs and what they're interested in.My teaching material

This is my second lesson with Erin. She always prepares interesting topics and I love that we can freely share our opinions on those! I learn useful expressions during our talk. I already look forward to the next lesson with her :)

Furthermore, Erin's deep understanding of linguistic nuances and her commitment to individualized learning has greatly improved my command of the English language.
