I follow a structured teaching method that includes hands on practice using tailored materials and additional resources. Furthermore, I assess for specific speaking habits and provide instruction to improve these person-specific areas of growth. The lessons are personalized to the student.
During an initial lesson, the student's language skills are assessed and a style of program identified.
There are two options:
#1 - Ongoing and flexible. This is the best option for students who have broad language goals (e.g. improve ability to obtain a future promotion). A syllabus is not provided as the content of the lessons will move at the pace of the student's growth.
#2 - Syllabus style. A set number of lessons will be agreed upon before the start of the second class. This option is best for students on a timeline and who are motivated to complete extra practice between lessons to ensure they can keep up with the content.

"Jenny-Lyn is a very professional teacher. She is attentive, serious, generous and patient. She gave me the tools I need to speak, listen and write in English. Thanks to Jenny-Lyn I have seen progress in my knowledge of English. I recommend Jenny-Lyn 10/10."Daniel, Ottawa
My name is Jenny-Lyn and I am a teacher who works with adult, elementary (Grade 1 to 6) and ELL (English Language Learner) education. I was born in Ontario, Canada and have finished a Humanities B.A. in Toronto. I was fortunate to gain two and half years of teaching experience with adult learners in Japan but was ready to return to the classroom after completing a Diploma of Education in Melbourne, Australia.
I taught in Nunavut, Canada with ELL students between 5 and 8 years of age while also running a literacy remediation program for adults. While living in Ottawa, Canada for seven years, I was an elementary educator with the Ottawa Carlton District School Board. I have moved out of the city and am refocusing my career on the subject I am most passionate about, second language learning. I look forwards to working with you on your language goals. :)
