This on-going course offers you small group lessons with a native English speaker. You can enroll in as many lessons that you would like per week. I recommend meeting with me 1-3 times per week. I am a certified teacher with an ESL endorsement. I have 11 years of experience teaching students in a public school and more than 4 years of online tutoring with English Language Learners. Intermediate to Advanced English language learners will practice their English conversational skills. We will have an on-going conversation about topics that are of interest to the students in the class. Each time we have a new learner, we will get to know them and introduce ourselves: what you like, what your interests are, and goals that you hope to achieve in the class. Classes will be determined and prepared based on topics of interest of the learners. Here are some examples of topics that might be of interest to you: books, movies, games, transportation, weather, landforms, science, sports, hunting, math, dinosaurs, animals, pets, career options, etc. I will utilize pictures, slides, google translate, and the chat box to help support the learners' comprehension. The topics will include speaking, listening, reading, pronunciation, and grammar practice. The small group advantage: Your learner will have more time to speak because this class is capped at 3 learners. You will be able to split the cost of the class with the other learners as opposed to the cost of private lessons. I do offer private lessons if you are interested in 1-on-1 time and a customized lesson plan for your learner. I look forward to meeting your learner and building on his or her English skills! I absolutely LOVE meeting, working with, getting to know, supporting, engaging, and inspiring English language learners from all around the world!
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence in their English speaking and listening skills. Students will be motivated to learn English more in-depth because we will be talking about topics that they enjoy. We will practice pronunciation, reading, and grammar throughout the conversation.
