Class Experience

This is an ongoing conversational ESL class, perfect to get students used to conversing in English and learn everyday phrases and vocabulary. This is ideal for students that are just beginning their English Language journey. 

You may use this class as a one-time class or an ongoing class. 

I have over 5 years of experience teaching English to young children, as well as, adults ranging in English speaking skills. I am TEFL certified and hold a Bachelor's of Arts in English and a Master's of Arts in Education. I have worked in the education field for over 10 years, 5 of them strictly ESL. I have also taught Chinese students online and many other ESL students from the Caribbean in South Florida, USA.

Students are comfortable in my safe space, with clear expectations and lots of room for giggles, games, and practice. I will correct grammar and pronunciation as I see fit, but I also do not plan on correcting every single error, as that can make the students feel less confident and resistant to speaking. I want this to be a comfortable and fun environment where they can practice their English speaking skills. . 

On days that we plan to do an activity, I will post an announcement on the classroom page with the supplies required - usually just some paper, color pencils, print out of a worksheet, etc.

Students will learn:
Week 1 Feb 7th, 2022: Colors & How to introduce themselves
Week 2 Feb 14, 2022: Counting 1-10 & pronouns (He/She) 
Week 3 Feb 21, 2022: Common Pets & Family members (mom, dad, sister, brother)

Week 5: Fruits and vegetables
Week 6: Face and body parts

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am brick and mortar teacher gone rogue. I have been teaching for 12 years (8 years in a brick-and-mortar classroom setting and 4 years online). My passion is teaching English, from beginner reader to college level. I also enjoy teaching math for grades K-8. I have an M.Ed. in Education, specializing in reading and literacy. I also have my B.A. in English with a minor in political science and government. I am trained in curriculum development and Growth Mindset. I am also TESOL certified and have 5 years of SPED classroom experience. 

I think it’s important to reach each student in my classroom, that’s why mixed media representation is highly incorporated in my teaching style. Students are engaged with a multi-sensory learning approach in my classroom. No matter how your student learns, I engage the visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic learner.  I like to teach students by learning where they are - it makes them feel successful and confident! I meet them where they are academically and then bring their education and academics to an elevated level. I believe that abilities and prior knowledge play a big role in teaching, which means parent-teacher communication is a tool I use quite often. In fact, studies show that these things matter in a classroom and affect cognitive function and academic success. 

Bottom line: I love to learn and I love to teach! It's like breathing for me! 

I hope to see you in class!
