저는 해외 영어 면접준비와 스몰토킹이 수업주제였는데요.
1) 면접준비(영어)
선생님도 그 시기에 바쁘셨는데, 직전까지 시간 내어주시면서 같이 준비해주셨어요!! 마지막까지 표현 수정 도와주셨고요. 매 시간 정성껏 가르쳐주심에 크게 감동 받았습니다.
제가 지칠 때에도 넘치는 에너지로 독려해주셨고, 저도 그 에너지 받아서 끝까지 공부할 수 있었어요!
2) 스몰토킹
영어 이전에 “소통”의 중요성을 강조해주시는 부분이 좋았습니다. 계속 그걸 인식하면서 언어를 공부할 수 있다는게 이 수업의 장점이라고 생각해요! 면접 준비할때도 이 부분이 도움이 되었고요!
선생님께서 영국에 오래 계셨기 때문에 영어문화권에서의 매너, 질문을 하고 답을 할 때에 뉘앙스들을 재미있게 익힐 수 있어서 좋았습니다!
영어를 좀 더 현실의 상황에 적용할 수 있게
배울 수 있는 수업이라고 생각합니다:)

Jaime선생님은 Academic writing에 가장 최적화된 선생님이에요. 일단 에세이의 맥을 잘 짚어주세요. 그래서 선생님 피드백을 보면 제 글의 문제점과 개선점이 무엇인지 명료하고 정확하게 알 수 있어요. 그리고 표현의 오류나 더 효과적으로 전달할 수 있는 방법을 찾아주시죠. 저는 이 분보다 더 영어쓰기 잘 가르쳐주시는 분은 아직까지 못 봤어요. Jaime 선생님 최고에요!!!

I'm a graduate student at Columbia University in the City of New York. As an international student, I have strived to enhance my English writing skill and Class with teacher Jamie was part of the effort. After class, it turned out that the course with her was not only helpful in language but also academic writing. She is highly versed in academic writing for Western universities. If you were a student, I could guarantee you that she is the perfect tutor for you to enhance your academic and language skills.
