In Zhengzhou, Henan, China I taught 7th grade ESL classes for two years. The students were local and also from other provinces. During those two years I also tutored staff children in grades one to six. On the weekends I worked at a private English school and tutored a 9th grade boy who loved American basketball. We discussed basketball videos and he told me about Chinese history. I moved to Honduras and taught a sixth grade bilingual class, then I moved to southern China and taught Oral English to freshman and sophomore students at Huashang College Guangdong University of Business Studies. I have taught elementary mathematics to grade two students and health education to grade eight and ten students.
Teacher from Canada. Speaks English.
Mother language: English
I am a native English speaker from Canada. I have a Master’s degree and I am CELTA certified.
I have worked in Canada, USA, Uganda and the Philippines. I was a Corporate Trainer with the British Council. I also taught ESL at an international school to students in every grade (senior kindergarten to senior high school). I taught English online, and worked with business professionals as an educator for a British Council online MOOC course.
I now live in China, teaching Academic English (reading, writing, literature and phonics) to children and youth.
I help people achieve their conversational, academic and business English language learning goals. As language is more than just oral English, I also prepare my students for their interviews and presentations, and help them with writing, editing and proofreading resumes, academic essays, school applications, and business communication materials (websites, menus, public signage, brochures etc.).
How can I help you achieve your goals?
