BACKGROUND:

I am John Chadwick, a native speaker of English (USA) and an experienced American Online English teacher (via SKYPE with Chinese, Korean, Italian, Chilean, Emirate and Russian students. I hold an undergraduate degree in English/Economics (B.A. Louisiana State University, 1966), a Masters in Teaching (M.A.T., Northwestern University, 1974) and I completed all requirements for the Phd (save the Dissertation) in Special Education and Instructional Design (University of Oregon, 1980).

I can teach EAP, Conversational English, Business English, IELTS Preparation, Business Writing and related skills.

Regarding my online English classes, my students love them because I teach English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation in a conversational context with instruction geared to a student's proficiency level. My classes are demanding but fun. My homework assignments, tailored to each student, prove pertinent and helpful.

INSTRUCTION: I tailor my instruction to your specific goals for learning English. I use a lexical approach in my vocabulary teaching in a conversation format and I invite listening, speaking, writing and pronunciation practice as needed. I can build or locate a glossary of vocabulary words for intensive instruction with you--words that have a high frequency of use in your profession. I also have wide access to instructional materials that I can share with you at no expense to you. I take a personal interest in my students and frequently I assign homework which I edit/grade for my students and/or I send articles/websites I know will be of interest to students.
