갈색곰 갈색곰 당신은 무엇을 보십니까? : 초보자를 위한 ESL 수업

Hello and Welcome!  My name is Teacher Lizzie- nice to meet you! 

My passion is teaching young learners how to speak and read the English language with clarity and confidence.  

I teach classes related to English Language Learning, Phonics, Reading, Conversation, Speech, and Theater. 

My educational journey began as a High School English and Drama teacher, where I cultivated skills to promote effective communication and engage students in meaningful ways. This foundational experience equipped me with essential tools for successful classroom engagement.

My teaching path led me to an enriching four-year adventure with VIPKID, an online platform connecting me with students from China and around the world. This experience allowed me to hone my expertise in ESL instruction, significantly enhancing my ability to tailor lessons to meet the unique needs of each student. It deepened my understanding of language acquisition and emphasized the importance of personalized instruction.

My tenure as a Kindergarten and First-grade phonics and reading tutor further fueled my passion for helping students develop their reading skills. It solidified my overarching goal of empowering students to speak and express the English language with clarity and confidence.

In my recent role as a 3rd and 4th Grade Autistic Support teacher, I had the privilege of working with students with diverse learning needs. This experience deepened my appreciation for the importance of individualized support and reinforced my commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive learning environment.

In addition to my primary roles, I've also served as a substitute teacher in my local school district. This role has provided me with a unique perspective on the diverse challenges and opportunities that arise in various classroom settings.

I am dedicated to a warm and compassionate approach to teaching. I firmly believe that creating a supportive and engaging environment is paramount in helping students feel confident and comfortable as they express themselves and grow in their newfound knowledge and skills. 

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Communications Arts with an Emphasis in Theater and a Minor in English.  I am also TESOL certified through the International Open Academy. 

In my classroom, you can expect to find patience, enthusiasm, encouragement, and singing!  We will work hard and have fun too!

I love children and I love teaching.  I hope to see your learner in my classroom!
