About the teacher

Hello! My name is Rae, from Toronto, Canada. I moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands to experience life elsewhere before starting my Masters degree in literature and cultural studies. I love World literatures, political philosophy, and very very loud music! I've spent almost 5 years as a private English tutor and proofreader and I would love to help you learn or perfect your English speaking, listening, reading, and especially writing.

As I have been working for many years to learn French, I know how difficult and intimidating learning a new language can be, so I aim to give my students the comfort and security to practice English by learning about things they are interested in, things that excite them, and things they think are cool. I want my courses to be fun and effective and tailored to what my students need.


Qualifications

Bachelor of Arts, Hons - English Literature and Philosophy, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada - 2013.
Teaching English as a Second Language, OISE - University of Toronto, 2014.


Experience

At Carleton in Ottawa, I worked as a private tutor for international students whose first language was not English. I taught listening and note- taking skills, academic writing skills, conversation practice, and strategies for reading and understanding academic texts. My students were primarily adult learners from outside Canada.

Also, I designed and led workshops for mature students for academic language skills in Ottawa, Canada.
I also have privately tutored for history courses, women's and gender studies courses, and philosophy courses.
