My name is Teacher Karen. I am from the State of California, in the USA, currently residing in Thailand. My classes are fun and engaging for all, from young kids up to adults practicing fluency. My accent is neutral and very easy to understand.
I'm a TEFL/TESOL qualified Pro Teacher. I hold a Degree in Creative Writing and a TEFL Certificate *120 hours* with lots of experience. I've been teaching ESL/EFL for about 15 years. I have guided students planning to take IGCSE, IELTS, TOEFL and others. I enjoy helping people improve their business fluency. Adults, teens and kids can work on their speaking, listening and comprehension for school, work, future job opportunities, or any other reason.Che tipo di insegnante sono
In June 2024, a young student wrote about his IELTS score: "Hi teacher, I got 7.5 overall and 7.5 for speaking". He was happy. I'm very proud of this student's achievement, and all the others like it that I have enjoyed being a part of. Others have written similar results; most felt they could only have received the score they got due to my help and guidance.
I try to make learning fun and engaging by using proven methods and techniques. We will have conversations on a variety of topics no matter the students' skills or confidence level. I provide a variety of useful resources, such as full curricula, to help guide students on their exciting learning journey.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I encourage students to choose topics they wish to discuss and I'll correct pronunciation and grammar as needed using proven techniques for remembering what they learn. Students are rewarded for self-correcting (HOORAY!) errors while I provide patient guidance, kindness and support. I find a touch of humor goes a long way. :-). No matter if it's the first lesson or ongoing packages, students will gain MUCH CONFIDENCE in their ability to hold all sorts of conversations with other English speakers without worrying about making mistakes. We will have you talking confidently today!!Il mio materiale didattico
