영어 전문 원어민 선생님

*June Update* As I'm new on Verbling this is my introductory rate. Typically I will spend 1-1.5 hours preparing for a class, depending on the focus. This means that you're getting a fantastic offer. Because I do lots of planning I cannot accept bookings less than 24 hours in advance. If you want advanced classes such as IELTS training and exam preparation, please be advised that I cannot teach at the advertised rate; high preparation time means I cannot justify the hourly rate. *Class Length* Please be aware that I teach 45 minute classes rather than 1 hour. This is because research (and my experience) shows that concentration can only be maintained for a certain amount of time, and the student isn't necessarily getting value from the last 15 minutes of a 60 minute class. The shorter class time is reflected in my prices. ---------- I am a CELTA qualified, professional English teacher, with experience teaching people from diverse backgrounds, from wealthy businessmen to fishermen in Malaysia. I have worked for private language institutes and public schools, as well as designing and delivering courses for charities I have worked for. I love to develop friendships with students based on common interests, and to incorporate these into classes, meaning they are engaging as well as useful for the student and me. Although I am the teacher, I believe that learning a language should be a shared learning experience and cultural exchange for student and teacher. My passions include travel, cooking and spiritual development as well as spending time in the outdoors, whether I’m climbing, hiking or relaxing. This translates into a love and respect for the natural environment, and I have a keen interest in how we reconnect with nature to preserve the environment, specifically what we can learn from indigenous cultures. ---------- I have experience teaching students who want to achieve the following goals: *Succeed in IELTS and Trinity examinations. *Learn specific business English. *Learn English as a young learner. *Develop English alongside other topics, such as Environmental and Social Responsibility (CLIL) *Improve conversational skills for travel My approach to language learning is to focus materials and lessons on the interests of my students, meaning learning becomes a more natural and entertaining experience. Having lived abroad in China, I understand the difficulties of trying to adapt to new cultures and learning a complex new language, so you'll be having lessons with someone who can relate to the fears you have. At the moment I’m based in Chile, where I’m using immersion to learn Spanish. Chileno is a very unique language and difficult to get your head around, so I can definitely relate to any difficulty you might be having understanding accents and regional variations in English. I'm primarily trained in teaching through the communicative approach, leading to the acquisition of natural, meaningful language, but I also like to incorporate task-based learning, working with you on multi-week projects based on your interests to focus on a particular skill or language point. Some examples of projects I've worked on with students include solutions to climate change and designing sustainable tourism plans. I'm excited to meet you soon!

I'm a native English speaker who is currently living in Canada. I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature and my TEFL certification. This means that I'm certified to help you with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, or anything else that you might need help with, including preparation for the CELPIP, Oxford Test of English, TOEFL, and IELT. I have experience teaching classes, individual students and kids. I have a friendly and relaxed teaching style, yet it is also important to me for my students to improve! That is the best part of teaching! I believe learning language has to be integrated into everyday experiences, which I capture in my power points, and you get to keep the power points and all teaching resources after each lesson! I am enthusiastic about teaching ESL and have taught English in many countries for 10 years in Thailand, Spain, China, Brazil, and Indonesia. I speak fluently in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

**********............WATCH MY VIDEO TO SEE MY TEACHING SKILL...............********** I like my job! Just two weeks after I began teaching in 2009, I realised that I had a talent. Therefore, teaching has always been easy for myself and I feel very confident. Many long-term students have become my friends. I have several unique selling points that are important when future students are searching for their teacher. Slowly, step by step, I too learnt elementary grammar together with my students and, since then, I can competently explain it. I enjoy grammar whereas the majority of native speakers cannot explain grammar at all, because they do not know it themselves. They learnt English as children and were never taught the rules of grammar at school. Furthermore, I have a nice British accent. In fact, my accent quickly improved when I first lived overseas 17 years ago. I began to deliberately speak clearly, carefully pronouncing every word, so that people could understand me more easily. This quickly became my normal speech. Furthermore, now I can speak conversational Russian. Finally, I am a patient person. Some children are much happier showing me their toys, in comparison to reading from a book or learning an English story for school. However, this is very normal. I allow the children to release their excitement as they show me such toys and pets, or tell me about their weekend, before guiding them back to the tasks required in our lesson. In fact, many of the intelligent children do not even need my help to do their school homework. They are clever enough to do it themselves, answering the questions often quicker than I can. However, they enjoy the company and moral support of studying with me. It provides them with motivation. I have a qualifying law degree from London.
