English as a Foreign Language with a Native Speaker from Canada
From 57 C$ /h
Improve your speaking and discussion skills or prepare for an English test (KET, PET, IELTS) with me. I'm a native speaker with 20 years of experience teaching children, teenagers, and adults. We'll have fun, and I will challenge you to excel!
I use Cambridge books such as the Think series, and National Geographic Learning books such as the Wonderful World and Reading Explorer series. But I add and design books and exercises to meet students' needs.
If you are interested in improving your ability to have academic discussions on research, current events of philosophy, I can provide you with articles.
If you want to prepare for a formal English examination, we can use a combination of textbooks, exam preparatory materials, and extra exercises that I design to target problem areas.
If you want to work on your vocabulary and pronunciation, you've come to the right teacher. My accent is standard and easy to understand. I adjust my speed to your level, and I pay attention to your individual needs.

About Me
* I'm a native English speaker from Canada, and I regularly study foreign languages to make me a better language teacher. I speak French, some Spanish, and some Chinese.
* I create classes to help individual students. No class is "one size fits all". So I regularly develop my own materials and look for books and extra exercises to help students meet their goals or get through difficult topics in English.
* I teach students of all ages and levels from young children to adults and from beginners to students looking to master academic English discussions about research and philosophy.
* I teach both British and American English, and I can help you with the differences in pronunciation and vocabulary.
* I have a lot of education, a lot of world experience, and I love to read and learn, so I can talk about any number of topics that might interest you.

Experience / Qualifications
I have been teaching for more than 20 years. I've worked in different countries, and now I teach online so that I can reach students without local access to native speaking teachers of English.
I started teaching university-level science and maths in the 1990's, and then moved to teaching English as a Foreign Language about 20 years ago. I've spent many years as a student myself, including as a language student. I've studied, French, Spanish, and Chinese. I'm currently starting courses in Georgian and Portuguese! Being a student helps to make me a better teacher.
Learning is lifelong, and I believe we can all enjoy making ourselves better through study!
