I have lived in Ecuador for many years, and so know quite a lot of Spanish. This has helped me to teach and help Spanish students to improve their English quickly.
I have an English accent, which the students in this continent seem to love !
Students from anywhere else in the world are also welcome !
I am very dedicated to my students learning journey, butt I like to make it fun for everyone.Minha atuação como professor
I have a lot of patience as a teacher. I have been teaching professionals at work as well as younger students. The best way for me to teach is to understand what the students need with their English. Classes can be taught to fit these individual needs. Classes need to have variety, and it is very important to keep the students interested. Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
I try and keep the classes as relaxed as possible. To get to personally know the students and give them as much confidence as possible in their English. The students learn the best through as much talking practice as possible, covering as wide a range as subjects/topics as possible. It is important to not continually correct every mistake, but to let the students learn. The more relaxed and confident they are, the more they are learning, in the long run.
I can help to prepare for standardized tests, such as TOEFL.Meu material de ensino

It was fun talking to you. It’s clear that you enjoy teaching. By asking lots of questions, you keep the conversation flowing, and that’s very important to me.

Our recent classes focus on learning interesting idioms. I am not good at pronouncing words with consecutive consonants, such as footwork and website. My teacher gave me useful guidance. Thanks, Leigh!

dopo aver provato alcuni insegnanti ho finalmente trovato quello giusto per me.
possiede ciò che cercavo: calma, pazienza, simpatia, sa proporre argomenti e mi corregge la pronuncia per migliorare il mio parlare.
mi sono trovata davvero bene e sicuramente riprenoterò con lui le prossime lezioni.
