Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. Teaching you has been a great joy.

After I graduated university, I moved to Japan and taught English for 6 years and during that time I met and taught many different types of students. I taught business professionals, university students, school kids, and even the elderly! So I know how to adapt my lessons to fit the needs and level of the students in my class.
I also used to teach at a local international school in Boston, MA. The students came from many different countries from around the world, including Spain, France, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Japan, and others. I like to make my lessons both fun and informative. My lessons & teaching style
I always like to have fun conversations and can talk about any topic you like. I like playing games and watching movies but I am also interested in news, other cultures, linguistics, history, and more!
My teaching style is very kind and patient. I prioritize smooth conversation in all of my lessons and help students express what they want to say. I always work with my students to achieve their goals.My teaching material

TEFL - TESOL Certificate - TEFLEN Training College - 2020The TEFLEN Training College is an online institution that offers training to people wanting to teach English to ESL (English as a Second Language) students.
During my time at the TEFLEN Training College I studied how to teach lessons to different learners and the best practices to implement into lessons to make them engaging and informative. I also took several English grammar tests to prove my English knowledge. I also submitted a lesson plan to show my understanding of class flow.

Drew is a great teacher to work with. He is passionate, patient, and knowledgeable.
All my English questions got answered in our class, and he explained everything very clearly.

I got a comedy video before the lesson. It’s about the thanksgiving gathering. It was very hilarious. Through it I saw a kind of the typical moment in the party, a bit emphasized, though. Then sometimes the music, sports are good things to unite family and ease the tension. That I can imagine. I asked Drew several questions about actual thanksgiving family party. I learn the word “friends giving”, in today’s lesson.

We had a structured lesson. Drew gave me the article of THE NEW YORK TIMES. It’s about the victory of Mamdani( New York new mayor). It’s very interesting. The writer mention about not only his carrier but previous New York mayors’ and those precedents. Still I want to see how the political pendulum would move. I hope he successfully changes the people’s lives better and creates the hope of the better future of the society . I’m very curious about what’s going on or not. Drew also teach me Mayors, HORs, Senators, Congress very briefly as I asked. Thank you.
