Native Speaker Tutor - English Conversation, Writing, and Application Prep

From 70.14 C$ /h

I grew up in Toronto, graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours BA in English Literature, and have experience teaching both adults and younger students. I specialize in conversation classes, and my students have all attained great results quite quickly -- they've become more confident in speaking, and have increased their vocabularies significantly.
I also provide consultation in academic writing and school applications. My clients have gone on to study in schools such as Yale, UPenn Wharton, and other prestigious universities.
I am also fluent in Chinese. I teach my classes in English, but will switch to Chinese on especially difficult concepts if the students are struggling to comprehend my explanations in English. I can also provide feedback in Chinese outside of lesson hours. I find that this arrangement has been very helpful for my students, and have consistently increased their understanding and progress.

Undoubtedly, English is one of the most important languages in the world from both a social and professional perspective. Do you want to better understand what all those English-language songs are really about or do you want to be able to follow a Hollywood movie without subtitles? Do you want to be able to express yourself better to your English friends? Do you need extra help preparing for an English exam? Do you want to be able to communicate in English in an appropriate way for your work? With all these things and much more you have come to the right place.

After living in Canada for 13 years, I speak English at a native level. Beyond that, I have a university degree in Second Language Teaching and taught in Madrid for two years.

A foreign language can cause a lot of stress for many people. Nevertheless, I always do my best to make my classes as interesting and stress-free as possible. I am an enthusiastic, patient and very positive teacher.

I have a wealth of experience in the education system in Europe, Asia and Canada. The subjects I specialise in are: English, ESL, Math (to Grade 8) and Acting classes, if requested.

I regularly tutor English and ESL from Kindergarten to Adults and my sessions are suitable for beginners to intermediate/advanced learners. I can assist with all aspects of the English Language: reading, writing, speaking and listening, English Literature, essay writing, comprehension, phonics to name a few.

Alongside my educational career, I am a theatre performer so I love to incorporate creativity in my sessions. I make sure all classes are unique to my students, fun, visual and interactive!

Learn how to speak and write in English and have fun in the process. This class is for people who would like to learn English even if they have never taken a course in the past and don't know where to begin. It is also for those who already have some knowledge of the English language and would like to improve their communication skills. Taking part in this class will guarantee ones ability to speak for casual conversations, business or academic purposes.

I am a member of the Ontario College of Teachers and have worked for the Toronto Catholic District School Board for 15 years. In addition, I have taught ESL beginner classes and advance classes for 5 years at the secondary level for international students. The classes consisted of visual activities, oral presentations, writing and reading material that are culturally relevant for the learner.

Let the fun begin!

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.
