Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a certified English teacher from the USA. I am certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) since December 2021 and have a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies and Communication. I have experience teaching adults and secondary school students in both the U.S. and Spain.
I have taught English for 8 years and would love to help you improve your English speaking and listening skills. I am passionate about learning other languages (Spanish and Dutch) and know what it feels like to learn a foreign language. I enjoy traveling, eating new foods, and spending time with friends. I hope to talk to you soon!
Me as a Teacher
Our lessons will focus on conversation practice. We will discuss different topics, ranging from food and culture to travel and family. I believe the best way to learn a new language is to speak with a native speaker. I will speak slowly and clearly to help you perfect your English language skills. I can also teach children and help with job interview practice or language test preparation.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are designed how YOU want them! Do you need to prepare for an interview that will be conducted in English? Do you need to practice English conversation for an upcoming casual meeting? I am happy to meet your needs through my lessons to focus the conversation towards vocabulary and subjects you need and want to practice. I also enjoy sending videos and articles to my students before lessons, so we can discuss the video or article's themes during the lesson. Topics of these articles and videos include immigration, climate change, and travel.
