About

I have been teaching children and young adults English as a second language for about 20 years now. I began working online in 2016 and I have mostly worked with companies that are based out of China. I love teaching English as a second language because I know the difficulties of learning a new language myself. My classes are energetic and I like to sing and have fun. Many props are used in my class and I also like to refer to worksheets. My hobbies include, swimming and riding my bike. I also enjoy cooking for my family and going on nature walks and taking pictures.

Experience

I began teaching young children many years ago (18 years ago) in daycares and schools in Georgia. I got my bachelors in Early Childhood Education in 2002 and I worked with grade 3 in a local school. I moved to Mexico in 2007 and started teaching English out of my home to young kids and tutoring teenagers and adults from 2008 to 2011. After that I began working at a local school here in Mexico teaching English to children ages 3 to 6. In 2015, I wanted something more so I got my first TEFL certificate. I began teaching online in 2016 and I have loved it every since.

Teaching Approach

Learning a new language is not an easy task, and I understand that because I had to learn spanish as a new language. I think with practice and persistence, anything can be accomplished. I like to have fun in my classes and I love to use props for the students to understand easier. I have an awards system that the children love to recieve when they have completed a task well.
