Hello! I'm a native English speaker with more than 12 years of experience teaching English to all levels, including 6 years of teaching academic English at universities in South Korea and China. I was born in Canada and I grew up in Ireland. I have an MSc in Digital Education from the University of Edinburgh, UK, a BA (Hons) in Photomedia, and a Higher National Diploma in Communication and Media Production. I have traveled widely and I'm passionate about meeting people from all cultures! My goal is to help you improve your English language skills quickly and efficiently. I hope you will join me for a lesson.Me as a Teacher
I'm a friendly TESOL-certified professional teacher with 12 years of experience teaching English to learners of all levels (Beginner / Intermediate / Upper-intermediate / Advanced) in Europe and Asia. I have an MSc in Digital Education from the University of Edinburgh, UK, a BA (Hons) in Photomedia, and a Higher National Diploma in Communication and Media Production. I am skilled at teaching students of all levels and age groups - children, teenagers, and adults (including university students or business professionals). Please feel free to contact me to discuss lesson your learning needs.My lessons & teaching style
I offer English Conversation, General English, Exam Preparation (e.g. IELTS / B2 First (FCE) / B2 First for Schools / PET / CAE / TOEFL), Business English (e.g. Interview Preparation), and English for Kids and Young Learners. I take a communicative approach to teaching – this means that my lessons are student-centered and often include a variety of speaking activities. We may use photographs, video clips, or short newspaper or magazine articles as the basis for our discussion. At the same time, you will build your English vocabulary, learn common expressions and idioms, work on your pronunciation, and improve your understanding of English grammar.My teaching material

I think Jessica is great at teaching English. She gives me fun homework. for example: An eyewitness, writing a fairy tale etc. We read about some fairy tale etc story and talk about the books and the main characters personalities. Sometimes Jessica just asks questions about what I did today or she asks some questions from online like TOEFL exam questions.
