Personal Statement
If you are seeking a native English language speaker, with experience working with ESL students, both online and “on-the-ground”, as well as experience creating an open but still lesson-oriented environment for students, I would love to become a part of your company. I am able to follow both customized lesson plans, as well as to create my own when necessary. As a trained English language teacher, I have extensive knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, business and legal English, as well as practice teaching all of these forms in a conversational setting. I love helping individuals translate their English language skills into viable modes of communication, where their conversational skills flourish to become both natural and as close to the native speech as possible! My goal with students has always been to transform English from something they recognize in theory into something practical and useful for their everyday lives.
