Su di me

Hi! I'm an experienced English teacher from Canada with an MSc from Oxford and a PGCE in TESL. I've been teaching English to both native speakers and English as a Second Language students for more than 15 years. I completed a PGCE in TESL from McGill University in 2010. In 2013, I graduated with my MSc in Applied Linguistics & Second Language Acquisition from the University of Oxford, and I'm currently doing my PhD at the University of Barcelona. My undergraduate degree is in Business, so I also teach business English students who need help with conversation and writing skills.

I love teaching students of all ages, and I specialize in speaking skills, and essay writing skills. In the traditional ESL classroom, students often lack speaking experience, so I like to plan out fun, engaging speaking activities to help students become more confident in authentic, real-life situations. Games and flashcards that I create for difficult concepts such as phrasal verbs make my classes both exciting and effective. Also, I've helped a lot of ESL students prepare for Cambridge exams (FCE, CAE, CPE) as well as TOEFL and IELTS exams. I can help ESL students study difficult concepts and essay writing techniques, so they are confident they will pass the exam.

Most importantly, I truly believe in goal setting, so I help my students set realistic, achieveable goals, and make customized plans to suit their individual needs. I love watching my students both have fun in class, and achieve their goals. I'd love to help you!
