Hi there! I'm Amanda, a certified Teacher of English as a Foreign Language (TESOL) from Illinois, United States. I specialize in teaching English to children and am passionate about fostering a love for language learning in young minds around the world. Living and traveling abroad has allowed me to learn a second and third language while immersing myself in diverse cultures. These experiences enrich my teaching with a global perspective, helping me connect with students and families from all backgrounds.Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, playing with my dogs, or reading a good book. I look forward to helping your child grow in confidence and fluency!Moi en tant que professeur
With over 7 years of experience specializing in teaching English to children, I’ve taught more than 1,000 students from diverse backgrounds. As a trilingual teacher, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. My lessons are tailored to each child’s needs, focusing on building confidence, improving fluency, and fostering a love for learning. I create a fun, supportive environment where kids feel safe to express themselves. With training in Early Childhood Education and cross-cultural communication, I connect easily with students and families, keeping parents informed every step of the way.Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement

I adapt my teaching to each child’s needs, helping them improve fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation through interactive games, songs, and real-life conversations. My goal is to make learning enjoyable while ensuring measurable progress. I emphasize patience, encouragement, and a growth mindset, where mistakes are seen as part of learning. I provide regular feedback and ensure parents are informed of their child’s achievements.
