Me as a Teacher
I have been an English teacher for 5 years and taught various ages and speaking levels. I worked online for 2 years teaching English to children and young adults in China. I have formal in-class experience working at several public and private schools in Vietnam for 3 years. I have a TESOL teaching certificate and a diploma in Educational Psychology. I also have a year of volunteer experience where I taught English to children in Indonesia and the highlands of Vietnam.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to make fun and engaging lessons for my students based on their interests and goals. The lessons I provide are comprised of interesting topics and fun activities that will help you develop confidence in your speaking. I will gently correct any errors in speaking and pronunciation. I will also help you improve on expanding your vocabulary and fluency.
My teaching style is very fun and engaging. I'm very patient and kind with my students and I love encouraging them to reach their full potential.
100% recommended!
She is very kind, patient, and professional.
After some lessons, I feel that I can speak more fluently.
The conversations are fun and interesting too.
