Business English

I had to do 120 hours of ESL teaching training, not including 10 hours of online teaching training. This enables me to teach ESL to students all over the world, in person or online.

Cambly is an online English learning platform which I taught on for 8 months before joining Italki. I have taught over 1,000 lessons and have had hundreds of students ranging in age and English level from beginner to proficient. This has given me the necessary experience to carry on my teaching career and it has given me a lot confidence in my teaching skills.

I tutored three high school exchange students from Spain in history, geography, math, biology, and physical education. This was my first in-person tutoring experience and it helped me grow as a teacher immensely.

The main focus is on self-introduction. 

There is repetition and giving the student a chance to speak during this session because the aim is to focus on their level and responsive style. 

Depending on the needs of the students, we may introduce them to the main focus of the session and introduce them to how to greet and respond to greetings. This is entirely dependent on their level and goals. 

Here, we look at the order/sequence of numbers. Or the content that the student would have communicated to be their main goal like reading, and listening. We will proceed to tackle this in a very basic sense. 

And allow the student the chance to listen and respond to question. Ensuring that they grasp the concept of the words "I" and "you".

Depending on the group's level - I cater to their specific needs. Either READING for comprehension purposes, or SPEAKING freely - and monitoring grammatical errors, and providing positive feedback. 

And these are particularly catered for students who are new and intermediate in level -  to the English language.

- We focus on the introduction and allowing them to speak about themselves. Therefore focusing on basic words, and how they would ask/answer questions like "What is your name?"

- Allow them to ask the teacher questions, allow for repetition, and note how they respond to information. Encourage speaking and not being shy about receiving correction. 

- Ask what things are and what people are.

- Focus on important things like what time it is, learn how to ask and answer these types of questions.

- Basically learn how to handle basic, everyday conversations.

- Learn expressions like happy and sad. By imitation and props.

- Here we seek to introduce the student to the concept of counting, singular, and many items. 

- We begin by allowing them to listen to how the teacher introduces themselves, and how they are to reply when asked questions. 

- The aim is to let them recognize how they separate themselves and the teacher when talking, in a sentence. Therefore, the focus is on the sentence beginners as "I" and "you'. 

- In the numbers session, the point is to teach them to recognize the order of the most basic/primary numbers. This is to explore order/sequence and concept of few, singular - therefore the quantity.

GROUP CLASS : A2 - C1          = Conversation, Vocabulary expansion, Accent Reduction + Reading Skills.

Here we allow the student to be informal.

- Here they express themselves and talk about their interests.

- We are having a normal conversation.

- I will be challenging them, to see their progress. 

- Allow them to be in charge of the conversation together with me, so we focus on developing their speaking self-confidence. If there is corrections, it will be done with consideration.

- This is necessary if one would like to improve their listening and speaking skills.
- It is not formal.

- It is a casual conversation, where they are free to talk to me about any topic of interest.

STUDENTS =   Academic advise. Assignments. Homework. School work. University. High school. Primary school. Editing.

I worked as a university tutor for a while. 

I understand the challenges, and pressures that exist within that space. 

Rather than writing your essay like a puzzle, keeping the reader in suspense about what conclusion you'll reach by the end, use the thesis statement like a treasure map to give the reader a sense of your essay's direction. Tell them the conclusion up front, so they know where your piece is headed.

Once you've done your research and found your sources, craft a thesis statement that clearly indicates the direction your essay will take. As you write, think about how each paragraph connects to your thesis. If you're struggling to understand how a particular idea relates directly to the thesis statement, it may be a sign that you've diverged from the purpose of the essay.

THESIS STATEMENT DEFINITION
A thesis statement is a one-sentence declaration of intention — a summation of the main idea your essay will explain at length. An effective thesis statement will make a unique claim or seek to answer an important question.

Even if your assignment doesn’t ask a specific question, your thesis statement still needs to answer a question about the issue you’d like to explore. In this situation, your job is to figure out what question you’d like to write about.

Purpose: The Psychology of Work paper comprises the application of psychological theory, principles and research to issues that are important to workers and management in organisations. The implicit point of departure is that the psychology of work is, in a sense, applied social psychology. In the practical component of the course a student must describe aspects of their work situation. Important issues given attention to are amongst others organisational behaviour; basic human processes; individuals in organisations; group processes; influencing others; organisational processes such as the work environment, organisational structure and design, and organisational change and development.

STUDENTS -  :     UNIVERSITY.  - ACADEMIC WRITING. RESEARCH AND PROPOSALS. LINGUISTICS, NEURO-PSYCHOLOGY, ENGLISH, ESSAY, DOCUMENT EDITING, THESES AND DISSERTATIONS.

The course of study takes a critical focus, examining description, classification, etiological theories + intervention strategies for a range of psychological problems. The course examined definitions of pathology and abnormality, specifically in relation to theories of normal and abnormal personality development, + critically explore dominant taxonomies of mental and psychiatric illnesses - most notably the DSM system of classification. Sharpened my skills in English tutoring. I am more aware.

Here I managed to explore different topics - in depth. These were pertaining to my major, which is Neuropsychology, Applied psychology research methods. It helped me with a ton of knowledge dealing with human behavior. I use all these to comprehend myself and others. It assists me in class, to monitor students' responses and what styles of teaching they best respond to. It is vital that one understands the individual student holistically.

I am very familiar with the use of online learning platforms. I have taught students at a university level, and I would attend to their queries and tutorials - off/line. I deem myself as open-minded. inquisitive + patience. These qualities allow myself to relate to students. Teaching different age groups, ethnicities and cultures has given me the gift of seeing the world for its variety, embracing it and has acted as a catalyst for learning from it.

I was employed as a substitute teacher for grades 6 + 7. I taught Primary Biology, English and Zulu. It's a journey that forced upon me - the exploration encouraged of the love I have for kids, their fragile minds. This was after my Honor's degree (post-graduate) year - thus one could argue that I was well equipped for the position, knowledge from my research writing (proposal + paper) = inclusive of human behavior, granted me a great depth concerning the subject. My major = Neuropsychology.

I have been freshly employed on this platform, + I believe it is on that (+ continues) to groom me with intellectual ways, ones that shape me into becoming the best version of an online tutor. They use communication tools that sharpen my knowledge on such vital parts of the online teaching experience.

This is an ESL company that I am greatly indebted to. They teach me skills that are deemed of empirical importance in this work space. It is an online tutoring company, therefore - they are where my online journey can be said to have blossomed.

Here I took students for Zulu. Which I am native speaker of. I did receive an Exemption at university level for this language, which is one of the languages I was exposed to since birth. I deem both English and Zulu - as native languages, I use these interchangeably in conversations, I am fluent in both. I studied isiZulu at school since my first grade till university. I have taken both primary school scholars for tutoring in the language, and tutored (and mentored) high scholars.

This is for students who have not quite reached a conversational level. I will write every work I speak so we can begin with a "subtitled" approach as we work our way through a FAQ's document (Frequently Asked Questions) to help build confidence toward having a surface-level conversation and keep progressing toward more difficult topics.

Level A Speakers (A1-A2)

This course was very intensive and covered these subjects: linguistics, reading, writing, speaking, listening, pedagogy, lesson planning and classroom management.

This Bachelor's degree was focused on Spanish proficiency as well as learning a foreign language while living in a non-native country.

Transitioning from a Bachelor's graduate in a foreign language to starting my own online business has given me insight both as a student of a foreign language and English teacher so that I can best prepare my students for success. Having assisted students through the years from over 15 countries, I found out quickly that each situation is unique. However, every one of my students has benefited greatly from online lessons as I did when learning Spanish.
