"I have worked for over 19 years as an English as a Second Language (ESL/EFL) and TOEFL/IELTS preparation teacher. During this time I have taught all levels of grammar (beginner to proficiency), conversation skills, reading comprehension, writing in addition to all levels of test preparation including IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge (FCE and CAE). I am TEFL certified as well as a certified Cambridge oral examiner. I feel confident in my ability to teach students of all ages and levels effectively. My experience has taught me the importance of flexibility and the ability to assess the needs of students in order to help them work towards both their long and short term goals.

The aspects of tutoring that I love most are creating a positive environment where I can help increase confidence levels and where students can feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I would say the most rewarding experience is when students recognize their own improvement and growth." less...
