I enjoy meeting and getting to know my future students in trial lessons. I am a very friendly and supportive teacher who genuinely wants to help you. In the first lesson I get to know my students, and find out what their goals are for English and then decide upon a lesson plan together.

English Conversation is a key skill that many English language learners who focus mostly on grammar/vocab/reading study lack. I really enjoy improving my students fluency and conversation skills through feedback and advice using a wide range of materials and techniques. 

I like to use a student based approach for these lessons. The first lesson will be an introductory lesson so I can evaluate your skill level, and propose a plan for us to follow for your lessons. Some students already have a plan with a topic,textbook,news article or any other material they would like to study. That is also fine. During these lessons I'm always giving pronunciation, grammar corrections, and feedback which my students really appreciate. 

I personally have many teaching materials and textbooks for all levels of English conversation skills that I can use. I am highly skilled at keep my students engaged in the conversation and am always introducing vocab,idioms,expressions or slang that is based on the lesson. I have helped hundreds of students over the years improve their conversation skills and am happy to help you as well.

IELTS Speaking Test Preparation

English lessons for elementary, middle school students and high school students. During our first introductory lesson I will evaluate your child's English ability then suggest a lesson plan based on their level. If there is something specific you want your child to focus on please let me know. Here are the different class types for children I have been teaching:

-Traditional ESL classes with grammar/speaking exercises focusing on the target language  from the Oxford Everybody Up textbook series.

-Phonics classes for beginner readers. 

-Reading and writing classes (ELA style classes). These are the type of classes you would find in American classrooms. We read a short story or even an entire book based on your child's level, and have a discussion about it. Then your child writes a summary and answers some questions for homework. 

-Speaking test preparation for entering private schools or academies: I have many years of experience helping children prepare for and pass their speaking exams to enter private schools or academies. 

-Speaking lessons: Some children like to talk about topics such as sports or their hobbies. 

-Custom lessons: I am very flexible and can customize a lesson to perfectly suit your needs based on your input. Just let me know!

All of my lessons come with correction, feedback, and suggestions for further study.
