I’ve spent many years working in various aspects of the business world, running companies and self-employed in the United States. I have experience in psychology, life coaching, business, various medical fields (in both Eastern and Western medicine), finance, start-ups and teaching English. 6 years ago I realized I am happiest when I’m serving and teaching others...which is when I started teaching English as a second language (Now more than 5,000 classes!). I’ve experienced a great deal of joy, love and compassion as I’ve taught. It’s influenced me in life changing ways and caused me to have an even greater desire to work with students around the world.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been teaching online with another company for 6 years and more than 5,000 classes. As a native English speaker, I understand that learning English will give the people I teach the ability to advance further in their lives than they would have the opportunity to do otherwise and I’m happy to be part of such an exciting prospect for each of them. Given the difficulty of learning a foreign language, I take time to get to know my students dreams, goals and needs and serve them as a coach as well as a teacher. I teach any level from intermediate to advanced with the highest degree of patience and respect honoring the time, commitment and willingness of those I work with.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Once I understand the dreams, desires and English level of my students, I customize their lessons to include topics and skills relevant to fulfill their goals. I teach regular weekly classes and incorporate either current/relevant speaking, business and general topics which will give us the opportunity to introduce new vocabulary, idioms, collocations, verb phrases, prepositional phrases and more complex grammar usage. I'll send PDF, Word Docs, Video links, Quotes, Pictures, or any relevant class material before class and follow up with vocabulary/idiom/collocation pronunciations and definitions after class for the student to study.
