About Me
italki teacher since Jan 30, 2023Me as a Teacher
I am a professional teacher with over 20 years experience teaching both adults and children online and face to face.
I am committed to the process of ensuring success in all lessons.
I have a Master of Arts in English language, a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics and Drama, and a three-year Diploma in Teaching. Therefore, I understand how students learn to speak and write English, the challenges that obstruct English language learning, how to successfully navigate these challenges, and how to make learning English exciting and engaging enough for students to want to return to class and achieve their goals.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is determined by the language learning goals, language learning preferences and personal interests and/or hobbies of my students. I constantly modify my teaching strategies to suit students' preferences while demonstrating kindness and patience.
I allow students to use the majority of our time to practise their English, and I guarantee personalized lessons and timely feedback that lead to incremental progress and will ultimately result in fluency in English.
I offer the following classes to adults and children: free talk conversations, business English, English for travel and leisure, pronunciation, spelling, grammar, reading, listening, essay writing and story writing.My teaching material

I was granted a tuition waiver that allowed me to study toward a Doctor of Philosophy in Forensic Linguistics full-time, and along with that opportunity was the additional invitation to teach English speech and writing to intermediate and finalizing undergraduate students who specialized in chemistry and life sciences in the "Communication Across the Curriculum" programme.

This Diploma in Teaching offered by teacher's colleges is the most direct path regarding official certification for entry into the teaching profession in Jamaica--preceding the bachelors degree. (In the slot above, "Bachelors" is selected because "Diploma" is not an available option on this portal.)

Certificates
Master of Arts in English Language The University of the West Indies 2014In Jamaica, once a teacher has completed the foundational teacher training, then that teacher is considered authorized to teach additional subjects areas that are named on additional degrees that the teacher attains in the future. Therefore, having completed my Diploma in Teaching in 2000, the additional degree of the Masters in English Language deems me competent to teach English language and English literature to students.
