Teaching Approach
|
|
|
During their English language studies, most students had teachers who simply ignored pronunciation or just had their students repeat a word over and over again, an exercise that is frustrating and useless to a student. It is necessary for students to understand how to reproduce a sound (for example, is the sound voice or voiceless, how is the tongue positioned in the mouth). It is also necessary for students to know how to use intonation, syllables, stress, and rhythm to gain mastery over spoken English. Knowledge of the language is half of what makes a good teacher, the other half involves the teacher's personality. Patience is a must, because if the teacher becomes frustrated, the student will become frustrated and learning will be impossible. Creativity and connecting to the student is also important, because you are bored and uninterested, you will not learn.

Program Description
|
|
|
I am a certified TEFL teacher, with a BA in English literature and experience in providing one-on-one customized tutoring, as well as teaching classes. While I am skilled in teaching all areas of the written and spoken lanuguage, my current students have usually been in the country for several years and are professionals who want to improve their language skills to help their careers. We work mostly on pronunciation and speaking. I also work with them on improving their resumes and interviewing skills. I offer one-on-one customized lessons that focus on the areas that you would like to work on the most. I have experience teaching individuals from many language backgrounds, although most of my students are from China and Hong Kong.

While most of my students are currently from China and Hong Kong, I have experience teaching students from many different language backgrounds, including Spanish, Russian, French, Arabic, and Japanese.

Frequently Asked Questions

|
|
I generally teach in the evenings and on the weekends. I will accept cash or checks. You can pay as you go, but if you pay for 10 lessons at one time, I will give you an extra lesson free of charge.
In addition to my experience as a teacher, I also work as a publicist at a major publishing company. This job requires excellent writing skills, which translates to making me more effective at teaching how to write professionall y.
