About Me

My name is Ryan. I am from Canada but currently, I am living in Thailand. I moved here eight years ago to pursue teaching English as a Second Language and fell in love with it immediately! I began as a homeroom teacher for grade three students in the MEP (Mini English Program) at a government school. Here I worked with students from kindergarten to grade six. Though I mostly taught English, I also helped students learn Math, Science, and Health. From here I went to a private school. The classrooms were smaller and the activities were really fun and engaging for the students! In the last three years I have been taking my skills and applying them to online teaching.Me as a Teacher
The most common feedback I get from parents is that I am very patient. I have learned through my experience that getting frustrated with students does not help anything. This is why I focus on positive reinforcement rather than negative punishment. This means that I don't want to punish students for making mistakes because it is necessary for learning. Instead, I like to reward students when they get things correct, which keeps the classroom atmosphere positive.
Learning Goals include:
Homework Tutoring, Speech Coaching, Test Preparation, Travel & Culture, and Conversation Practice.My lessons & teaching style
I focus on having fun with my students while also helping them learn. Especially with young children, I have found that they respond best when they are offered a fun reward for their work. From physical props (like making pizzas/hamburgers) to digital props (games/songs/flashcards, etc.), I try to have a variety of things that keep classes exciting and help students look forward to learning more. This also helps build confidence in those who need it because the classroom atmosphere is very fun and there is no pressure to perform well (but there are rewards for doing well!).My teaching material

ESL TeacherMy experience here helped me learn many ways to make classes more fun and engaging for students. We did many songs/games and activities to help children have fun and gain confidence in their speaking. I also learned a lot of TPR to help my students that are very beginner level and may need other ways to learn new words. I also learned the value of positive reinforcement.

We tried our first lesson with Teacher Ryan, his class was fun and my 4-year-old son likes him very much! He has interactive tools to help with his teaching so it’s effective! We’ll continue the classes.

It was my 3-year-old daughter's first English lesson. Ryan has many fun resources and his attitude was so nice, that even though my daughter started the lesson feeling very shy, she ended up making several sentences. I highly recommend his lessons!!!
