Hello! My name is Teacher Summer! Thank you for clicking my profile. The short story about myself is this:
I am an American living on the Carribean Coast of Costa Rica. I've also lived in France for 15 years. I love to travel and I have visited many countries. I am a mom of two energetic, young boys. I am bilingual and enjoy running, writing, theatre arts, and making audio books in English.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English as a second language for more than nine years. I have done private tutoring to French students and adults. The last four years I have been teaching exclusively children online. I have taught hundreds of students over five thousand lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
It is my job:
To make children feel comfortable and ready for class - a comfortable child is ready to talk!
To build a safe place where mistakes can be made (that is how we learn!)
To find what interests a child and keeps them engaged.
To encourage independent thought and creative speech.
To provide the tools my students need to understand and flourish.
To be cooperative and understanding of a parents’ desires or concerns.

Starting with the book club, I have a regular class twice a week with teacher Summer. I've never seen anyone who is as diligent and prepared for class as her. She's the only teacher I trust perfectly!
