Teaching Approach
|
|
|
I take a unique approach to teaching both ESL and Sign Language. I believe that a hands-on approach is key to helping my students gain confidence and experience while communicating the English language. This method also allows students to really practice what they are learning and thus aides in better retention and comprehension The free online meeting setting that I have chosen to use for my online lessons provides students the opportunity to learn through video chat, presentations , worksheets and MUCH more.....from ANY location!
My ESL lessons are structured to fit intermediate and advanced learners, and include; business and conversationa l English as well as grammar and writing. On the other hand, my sign language courses focus more on beginners as well as intermediate and advanced learners. I include basic words, phrases and grammar for those starting from scratch and focus on giving my advanced students a bigger vocabulary and allow them to practice skills that are already in their repertoire.
All of my courses are tailor-made specifically to clients needs. I recommend at least 2 to 3 one hour lessons per week, however, the more time that is dedicated to learning the better the results will be.

Program Description

|
|
Hello Everyone, My name is Jenn. I am 29 years old and reside in the United States.
I love teaching students of all ages, and upon graduating from university with a Bachelor's in English, I have been teaching the language to people all over the world. My experience spans over 7 years, and includes 3 years of online teaching and 4 years offline. I can guarantee you that the skills you will learn while taking lessons will take you on an exciting journey of discovering new things; and you will have fun at the same time!
I have been speaking sign language fluently since I was 5 years old. I also have a twin sister that is hearing impaired and using ASL (American Sign Language) is her means of communication . I have worked and volunteered for over 4 years in our local school systems as a Special Education Assistant, where I honed my skills.
