About Me

Hello! My name is Alek, and I was born and raised in the United States. Throughout my English teaching career, I've taught hundreds of learners of all ages and all English levels. My journey has taken me to physical and virtual classrooms on four continents. I speak three languages fluently and am learning four more.
I have many passions and hobbies, including international travel, riding bicycles, sustainability, plant-based dieting, language learning, hiking, tea and coffee, dancing, and cats.
Topics I enjoy discussing during class include politics and current events, history, world culture (including yours), and food.
I am excited to see you in the classroom!Me as a Teacher
I was the English Language Learners Program Coordinator at a refugee resettlement agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have a CELTA certification, which qualifies me to teach English to all speakers of other languages.
I taught at an after-school English center for children (ages 4-14) in Hanoi, Vietnam, for a year. Later, I designed and taught free classes to kids in the rural Nghệ An province (in the open air!)
I taught English for 6.5 months at an institute in Cusco. I have experience teaching all English learners, from basic to fluent, teenagers to adults. I also taught ESL to Latino migrants in Minneapolis as a volunteer.
I have nearly six years of experience teaching English remotely.My lessons & teaching style
I believe students learn most efficiently when they're actively engaged and having fun during the lesson. I make my lessons as interactive as possible. My lessons are very functional, so we'll learn things that you'll use every day. I'm very patient and an effective communicator.
My teaching philosophy is - be confident, have fun, and don't be afraid of mistakes. We learn through our errors, as I've learned countless times while studying foreign languages!

Alek is an amazing teacher. He helped me correct my grammar mistakes and tune my pronunciation. He also suggested new words that sound more natural. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
