Hello, I'm Ryan Higgins. Over the past 17 years, I've assisted English Language Learners at every proficiency level, from beginners to advanced, in reaching their language learning goals. These goals have ranged from securing their dream jobs and improving workplace communication to aiding in studying abroad, immigration, traveling, and enhancing general communication skills.
If you're seeking a dedicated teacher committed to helping you achieve your language learning objectives, I would LOVE to be that teacher!
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your language learning journey.
Best regards,
Ryan HigginsMe as a Teacher
A quote
"Second Language Learning and Teaching are more important in the twenty-first century than ever before and more important than even many Language Teachers appreciate."- Mike Long
I completely agree with this statement. English is the main language for international business, trade, and education. With the internet connecting more people around the world than ever before, there are many chances to improve the lives of both yourself and your family. I am here to help you achieve those dreams!
I respect your valuable time, hard-earned money, and momentous efforts. I promise to work very hard to help you succeed. Helping learners succeed is why I love being a teacher!My lessons & teaching style
I utilize a personalized Task-Based approach to design learning plans for each of my students, beginning with a comprehensive Needs Analysis. This questionnaire helps me understand your goals and the specific situations where you will use English to communicate.
I employ authentic language examples to teach you the real language used by native English speakers, rather than the simplified and often irrelevant language found in many textbooks. Additionally, I incorporate the cultural contexts in which this language is used.
This approach will prepare you for the new world of opportunities that English can provide for you. I am excited to help you realize how achievable this dream is!My teaching material
