My name is Allen and I am an English teacher from Boston, USA. I am a world traveler and passionate about experiencing new cultures and new languages. I speak Spanish fluently as well as varying levels of French, Arabic, and Vietnamese. When I was 16 I did a semester study abroad in Santiago, Chile. I learned to speak Spanish in 5 months. I learned through full immersion because nobody around spoke any English! This experience began my love of travel and language. I have traveled extensively as a backpacker in Central America, South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. I have many hobbies, some of which are: playing guitar, painting, listening to podcasts, hiking in nature, and yoga.Me as a Teacher
My teaching career began in high school when I worked at my school's summer camp. In university I tutored reading to 3rd grade students at the local public school. Later I lived in Mexico and did an internship with an English teacher at the national university. In the internship I focused on improving students’ pronunciation and fluency. I have been a private English tutor in Ecuador, Spain, and Morocco. Most recently I was in Vietnam for 1 year teaching English to all ages and levels at a private language center.My lessons & teaching style
The way I teach lessons and my teaching style are both greatly influenced by my experience in the CELTA program. My lessons focus on engaging the student through real world materials. I adapt my lessons to my student’s needs. My teaching style is student-centered. I model pronunciation in a way that is clear and natural. I provide timely and helpful corrections and advice. I have learned multiple languages and this helps me as a teacher because I know what it's like to be a learner. Most importantly I am a passionate and energetic person and I love connecting with people!My teaching material
