Hi! My name is Bryan Gilliland. Over the years, I’ve been a teacher of English, Spanish, Chinese and American Sign Language. I’m from Flagstaff, Arizona and currently live in Phoenix, Arizona in the United States. I’ve lived mostly in Arizona and the surrounding areas, so I have a very neutral accent.
My passion for learning and teaching languages led me to get my degree in Spanish and Chinese Education as well as other teaching and language certifications. I am also very passionate about fitness, movies and shows. That being said, I have interest in and enjoy talking about just about anything. All my friends and students always say, “Bryan is the most patient person I know.”
Ik als leerkracht
In 2013, while living in México, I earned an advanced TESOL certification from the American TESOL institute. I taught English for a semester to children and adults at a private school in Tehuacán, Puebla.
In 2014, I lived in China for a semester in Jinan, Shandong. I worked as an English professor at Shandong Women's University.
Recently, I’ve taken many college ASL classes and been friends with many deaf people and Sign Language interpreters. I started to really learn ASL quickly and now I am a Spanish, Chinese, and ASL teacher.
I can also understand Portuguese really well. So, if you speak Portuguese, especially if you’re from Brazil, then perfect! Send me a message and I can help you.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
With every language, first I like to teach the basics of the language and then hit the ground running. If you are more advanced we can practice and refine your skills or work on any specific concepts you are struggling with. If we are starting from nothing, I will teach you the basics of how the language works.
I will teach you a few key words, phrases and principles and then we will try to only use the target language from there on out. This is the best way to immerse yourself in a language without immersing yourself in a new culture or country. Then, you will see more immediate results and successes which in turn, gives you more confidence, motivation and excitement for the language.Mijn lesmateriaal

Advanced TESOL Certification - The American TESOL Institute - 2013I completed an online/in-person course that provides participants with knowledge in teaching English as a second language with focus on methods and approaches to TESOL. I studied the theory of TESOL, and learned to create English as a second language lesson plans for presentation in a classroom. I successfully completed the required online modules, participated with in-class instruction from a head teacher and created and delivered a graduation thesis for the course concerning TESOL theory.

Bryan is a kind, patient and attentive teacher! I've had a great conversation about my interests, hobbies, favorite languages and countries today! He was calm and good! I really liked the conversation lesson! It was nice to talk with him and meet him. Book a lesson if you want to practice English with a native speaker like him!

我从去年开始和Bryan上课，每次课体验都很棒。去年我开始读法学院，和本科的经历特别不一样，因为教授会在上课的时候直接点名学生回答一连串很难的问题。最开始的时候我真的很紧张，但是接着我开始了和Bryan的练习。我会向他讲解法律的概念和案例，然后他会向教授一样问我问题。我们也会模拟口头辩论，等到实际辩论的时候我就做得很好。今年夏天他还帮助我准备了明年暑假实习工作的面试。我们一起头脑风暴、练习和模拟面试，他也给了我很多有用的建议，最后我顺利拿到了offer。除此以外，我的英语在整体上也通过不断的练习得到了进步。最重要的是，Bryan是一个非常包容、思想开明的人。他乐意和学生讨论任何事情，并且从不带有任何批判性。接下来我会继续和他上课，我也把他推荐给任何想要完成特定的作业或者任务、准备工作面试、或者只是想提高口语的人。
