Hi there! I’m Amanda, a certified English as a Foreign or Second Language teacher from Illinois, USA. I specialize in teaching children and am known for my playful, friendly, and supportive teaching style. I love building caring connections with each student and helping them feel confident and excited about learning. My own experience learning two foreign languages—and living abroad—helps me connect with students from around the world. Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and playing with my two silly dogs. I'm passionate about creating lessons that make English fun, meaningful, and confidence-building for young learners.지도 경험
With over 7 years of experience and more than 1,000 students taught, I bring professionalism, care, and creativity to every class. I’m trained in early childhood education and cross-cultural communication. I’m a patient teacher who gives 100% to connect with each child and create a space where confidence can bloom. I take time to understand how each student learns best and adapt my teaching accordingly. Mistakes are corrected in a gentle, playful way. My lessons balance fun and real progress, and I provide feedback after every class so parents feel involved and informed. 내 강의 및 지도 스타일
Every child learns best in a supportive environment where they feel safe to express themselves. My goal is to build confidence—not perfection, encouraging growth through positivity and play. I tailor each lesson to the child’s learning style, celebrate all progress (big or small), and gently correct mistakes as a natural part of learning. At the heart of my teaching is the belief that the true goal of language learning is communication. I help children express themselves clearly, connect with others and build confidence in real-world situations.
Lessons are for children only (ages 4-12)
Lesson lengths are 25, 40, or 55 minutes.
