Over 8 years teaching English. TEFL certified & BA degree in communications and media. My name is Fiona. I've been teaching English for over 8 years, online and face to face. The majority of my experience is an ESL English teacher in Vietnam. I taught in many different settings, such as, primary school, montessori, pre-school, language centers & private lessons. I also taught English in a bilingual kindergarten in Berlin, Germany for 2yrs. They were unique experiences, and both helped me to excel as a teacher. I am also a yoga and sound healing facilitator. I love to practice these, in my spare time. I enjoy meeting new people, and conversing about anything and everything. I love helping people of all ages excel in English. It is a special kind of reward when a student learns something new, and more importantly enjoys the process. I think I am a friendly, caring and approachable teacher. I like my students to be comfortable, and to feel like they can ask me anything. Learning can be difficult sometimes, but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring. I try to keep my students engaged, and be able to laugh whenever possible! I try to include topics that the student finds interesting and can relate to. I am open for the student to choose a certain topic, if they want to expand their vocab. I'm a good listener and can correct students on their mistakes, such as grammatical, pronunciation and sentence structure. I will give praise when a student is doing well and progressing. I try to encourage students to achieve their best.

I had a great chat with Fiona. She provided me with excellent material to practice my English comprehension—and Irish English in particular—since I am currently in Ireland.

I really enjoyed my conversation with Fiona. She was kind, attentive and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She knew how to keep the conversation flowing naturally and always made it interesting and enjoyable. I never felt bored or under pressure. It was a really pleasant experience, and I’d be very happy to talk with her again!
