Hi! My name is Kelley and you might know me from Fastclassenglish. I am from Canada. I love travelling and have lived and worked in Australia, Japan, the UAE and Switzerland. My hobbies include reading, running, and just being outdoors. I am a happy person with a can-do attitude.Me as a Teacher
With a Masters in Applied Linguistics/TESOL, I have more than 35 years of ESL teaching experience. I have taught all skills at most levels but feel I am best suited to teaching teens and adults. My favourite subjects to teach are grammar, writing, and oral communication. I also enjoy exam preparation.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are for ADULTS ONLY. I like to warm up with friendly conversation before moving on to the main point of the lesson. For conversation classes, I sometimes give a link to a short listening and then we discuss the topic in our meeting. I take notes and give you feedback on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation at the end of the lesson.My teaching material
