I began teaching almost thirty years ago because I love helping people develop the knowledge and skills they need to enjoy happy, healthy, and productive lives.
As an EFL teacher, I enjoy helping my students achieve the English language goals they have set for themselves – whether they would like to gain employment in an English-speaking company, enter an English-speaking university, or simply achieve a specific CEFR level.
I want my students to feel empowered by their learning and use of English – to know that they can accomplish whatever they wish with dedication and proper training.
My classroom is student-centered. I believe students learn best through exposure to real-world materials and interactions with others. My job is to facilitate their learning by providing the proper resources, experiences, and feedback on their progress.
My classroom is a safe environment. I work to create genuine rapport with my students through my easygoing and supportive personality. I don’t want my students to be afraid of making mistakes because mistakes are part of the learning process. I want my students to feel confident and to challenge themselves beyond what they think they can achieve.
I bring into the EFL classroom many years of experience teaching a variety of learners with diverse backgrounds, including learners with disabilities. I also have a great deal of expertise teaching with technology, preparing learners for testing, and making learning interesting and fun – especially learning grammar.
I ❤️ grammar!
