I'm a happy full-time volunteer. I like to keep things simple and see where I can do some good. I decided to pursue this career when I was 13, and I swear, I've never gone back! Sometimes it means giving things up, but there is always more to be found. Oh, and I fell in love with a man with a motto: "Get cape. Wear cape. Fly."Me as a Teacher
Keep it simple. A good teacher is an excellent student. I teach myself first. We learn together.
Keep a sense of humor, while respecting everyone's dignity. Don't get stuck.
Enjoy the process, but keep your eyes on the prize!
I've always loved teaching and reading and studying- EXCEPT for grammar. But when I started to see the practical applications of grammar knowledge in the TESL field, I loved it! I get lost in the grammar study so you don't have to. I'll tell you only what you need to know. I especially enjoy teaching B-1, B-2 levels who are looking to improve conversation skills. My lessons & teaching style
Classes are dynamic and progressive. In a structured yet informal way, we will break into new comfort zones of language use through conversation and feedback, with supplemental activities scattered throughout. Homework is optional but encouraged.My teaching material

I loved having a conversation with Courtny for today! She is calm, caring, nice and trustworthy! She gave me a video to watch and discuss what is happening in and she asked me to choose a topic and after that she asked me interesting questions on a particular topic to answer which is cool! It was nice to chat with her and answer all of the questions and have a chat for today! It was nice to meet her! Best wishes from Russia and I hope to see her again soon!

I really enjoyed the teacher's approach to the lesson. Also, her language sounded more American natural than I used to hear from other teachers.

Estoy aprendiendo muchísimo con Courtney! Me está ayudando a practicar conversación y a preparar una presentación para el trabajo y sus aportaciones están siendo una ayuda enorme. Me encanta su forma de enseñar, especialmente como me explica la fonética y cómo me va dejando anotaciones en nuestro documento compartido. Gracias!!!
