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.На исходном языке
Я как преподаватель
Имея более чем 7-летний опыт работы и обучив более 1 000 студентов, я привношу профессионализм, заботу и творческий подход в каждое занятие. Я прошла обучение в области воспитания детей младшего возраста и межкультурной коммуникации. Я терпеливый учитель, который выкладывается на 100 %, чтобы наладить контакт с каждым ребенком и создать пространство, где уверенность в себе может расцвести. Я уделяю время тому, чтобы понять, как каждый ученик учится лучше всего, и адаптирую свои занятия в соответствии с этим. Ошибки исправляются в мягкой, игровой форме. В моих уроках соблюдается баланс между весельем и реальным прогрессом, и я предоставляю обратную связь после каждого занятия, чтобы родители чувствовали себя вовлеченными и информированными. Мои уроки и стиль преподавания
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.
