Greetings to everyone! My name is Brandon Thies, I am a native English speaker from the State of Georgia, in the United States, but now I live in Ecuador with my family. While living here, I have had the amazing experience of learning the basics of Spanish, so I understand how hard it can be to learn another language. Also, I have graduated from an online University with a degree in computer science.
Aside from programming, learning Spanish and teaching English, I am involved in many different hobbies. A few of which are Playing chess, reading books, writing, working out, collecting coins, and more.

Me as a Teacher
I have taught the beginners basics of English and therefore have a good understanding in the rules and how to teach them. Likewise, I have worked with more advanced students, bringing their speaking up to a higher level. I also work with children to improve their English speaking and reading.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style can be broken down into two different types of classes. My first class is a general English class. I usually like to customize the class to fit the student’s needs, but most activities consist of speaking while I take notes of any mistakes you make. I can offer homework to the student, but this must be specifically requested.
In the second class, if you are interested in learning a programming language, I am offering to teach you python while we practice your English speaking. At the end of the lesson, if requested, I will provide a homework assignment based on the topic we learned.

Brandon implemented a little code challenge with me in python showing me how classes work. That was awesome and fun! Looking forward to some other lessons every now and then :) Have a nice new year 2022 and loads of fun, Brandon!
