****For ESL STUDENTS:
Hi! I’m a native speaker living in New York City! I have studied linguistics for the past four years and specialize in second language acquisition and applied linguistics! I have the highest level certification for teaching ESL (the Trinity CertTESOL), equivalent to CELTA! I also have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics.
I have taught for two years and use a communicative language approach, having you speak at least 30% of the lesson! I use the engage-study-activate framework, which has been proven effective and speeds up the learning process! My priority is to make a difference in my students' lives. Whatever your goals are, I am happy and ready to help you achieve them!
I have experience teaching adults and children in private lessons and public classrooms. I teach beginner, intermediate, and upper-intermediate in these subjects:
Conversational English
Business English and Job Interviews
Academic English and College Writing
English for Travel and Living Abroad
English Grammar
Listening Skills/Reading Skills
Fluent Pronunciation/Accent Reduction
If you schedule the first lesson for half price, I’ll conduct a detailed needs analysis with you! This will allow me to understand your language level, needs, goals, and personal interests for a personalized and effective learning experience! Together, let’s get you closer to achieving your goals in a fun, relaxed, and personalized learning environment!
I look forward to meeting you! :)
