My name is Teacher Karen. I come from the State of California, USA. I am now living in Thailand. My accent is neutral and very easy to understand. I've been teaching for over 16 years. I hold a Degree in Creative Writing and a TEFL Certificate: *120 hours*. My lessons focus on communication and I do my best to make learning fun and engaging, using proven methods and techniques, and great materials. We will have conversations on different topics and, no matter their skill or confidence level, students will gain CONFIDENCE in their ability to hold all sorts of conversations without worrying about making mistakes. Please no absolute beginners. Some reading/speaking ability required.Mijn lesmateriaal
