À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 20 Jul 2016Sujets d'intérêtFilmsÉcritureNourriture
I’m an American professional TEFL teacher, currently living in Shanghai, China with my wife and son. I compose and perform music in my spare time.
Free online 1-to-1 video communication is the ideal environment for working with a language tutor – an ‘academically intimate’ atmosphere. I bring to each private class years of experience with helping students get the best results from this ideal learning environment.
An avid reader since I was a child, I read all of Tolkien’s major works (Lord of the Rings, etc.) as a teenager. I credit this activity for developing a high degree of skill with English grammar, and excellent expression. I love to write in English, particularly songs.Moi en tant que professeur
I have taught mainly at International Schools in Shanghai, since 2007. I hold an INTESOL 120-hour teacher training qualification. A native English speaker from the US Midwest, I can confidently teach accent improvement and vocabulary/word usage. I also have extensive experience with editing formal English text, including several novels and a Master’s dissertation.
I was delightfully employed at an English training center in Shanghai, teaching ages 6-10, but had to leave after 3 years, late in 2021. Very pleased now to have many more children in my online classroom, some attending several times a week. Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Most intermediate and advanced students have difficulty communicating in English because of insufficient speaking training. I provide a framework for improving those habits, including grammar review/practice, guided conversations, and writing exercises. Patience is required! but the rewards are worth the effort. My teaching manner is relaxed, yet very focused and supportive – my students achieve great results.
For students of school age: a friendly face, and expert guidance for performing the familiar and powerful exercises found in National Geographic Learning textbooks (usually Reach Higher or Reading Explorer) is all the inspiration needed for a productive learning routine.Mes ressources d'enseignement

Certificate in TEFL with TEYL - Intesol Worldwide - 2017Though this is a basic TEFL (teaching English to foreign learners) 120 hours training certificate - already approved by italki - my training did include an optional component (which I chose to add) for TEYL (teaching English to young learners.
In case this application does not provide another place for it, let me include this information: From 2018 to 2021, I was employed by an English Training Center in Shanghai, to conduct classroom English teaching to 4-12 kids aged 5-12. 100s of classes.

I have been learning English with Lars for about three months. It really helps me. Lars is humorous,articulate and every lesson is well prepared. It is the first time I know that learning English can be that interesting. I think I have made progress in pronunciation and grammar. I really appreciate that, thanks for all you did, Lars!
