Class Experience

I will quickly assess the English language ability of your children and specifically  tailor the lesson to them.  I will encourage conversation and assist your children with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation  as needed.  Depending on the ability  and age of the children, I will incorporate different games and props to facilitate learning.  This is a semi-private class, deigned to help two children, of similar English ability, practice English conversation skills.   I have extensive experience teaching English as a second language and welcome all levels.  I can assist children who are completely  new to English, those that need only "fine tuning" to meet the levels of their American peers, and every level in between.  Ages listed are for guidance only.  I will happily work with students from age 3 to 18, but for this class, I recommend that your children be close in age. I maintain a fun and judgement free classroom, so your children will feel comfortable.  Most parents sign up for this class repeatedly and I develop an ongoing curriculum to meet the needs of your children.

Learning Goals

During each lesson we will strive to improve your children's  English and make them more comfortable speaking.   For new learners, this might involve how to greet people, recite numbers or repeat short sentences.  For students with some English familiarity, I will help them become more comfortable expressing themselves to native English speakers so they can feel more included in their surroundings.  For middle level students, we will carry on short conversations about any topic of interest and I will assist with grammar and pronunciation as needed.  For advanced students, we will discuss a more complicated topic and I encourage the use of topic specific vocabulary, synonyms, various verb tenses and proper intonation. During our lesson I will continually assess comprehension, and encourage questions.  Most students sign up for this class several times a week for continuity in their learning. I aim to make this class fun, relaxing and rewarding.

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have worked with children ages 3-18 for over 25 years. My experience includes a broad range of skills from pre-reading through university preparation. My specialty is English language learning. I have taught  preschool as a lead teacher, and also substituted  regularly in elementary and middle school classrooms. Additional experience includes private tutoring for Spanish, reading skills and college essay writing.  I also enjoy teaching English as a second language to  adults and children.  I have worked both in person, and on line, and I am familiar with skills necessary to make both venues successful. I have an undergraduate degree in Engish/Spanish and a graduate degree in communications. I take my teaching seriously, but I try to present the material in a fun way to encourage learners to participate and enjoy learning.
