English lessons for children
Determine the student's level and create fun and inviting lessons accordingly.
English for beginners
I use flashcards and phonics and play word games, to create a fun and comfortable environment.
Conversational English
The student tells me his / her hobbies and we choose a topic accordingly. Therefore we can talk about interesting topics, which will catch the student's attention thoroughly.
English for traveling
I have traveled a lot and LOVE sharing stories about different countries and learn myself about new places
Reading and writing English
We all love stories, the student picks his / her favorite book and we read together, going through all the pronunciation needed. Then we can write our own story or version of the read story.
Understanding English movies
Describing and practicing what happens and is being said in the movies. Understanding sentence structures and new words
About
I am an enthusiastic and motivated individual. I love working with people. I believe patience is very important and communication is essential in all working environments. My energetic and positive nature always has a great influence on the people I work with.
I have been an English teacher and tutor for about 10 years on and off. Online for about a year.
I love working with children and individual adults, to ensure the best level of English classes for the student available. I am patient and friendly and understand that communication is key to a future with well spoken English.
