    About Me

    Hello! I enjoy teaching English because I believe that languages help us unlock the key to truly understanding people who live in places where those languages are spoken.

    I am an experienced teacher who also continues learning other languages myself. I have taught English in several countries on three different continents. So I appreciate that my students will have different needs based on where they live and what they want to accomplish with their language skills.

    I adapt my teaching style to what my students want/need: do you need a serious coach to prepare for the TOEFL or another exam? Or do you need a fun, laidback lesson to help you learn more about how to use American idioms in everyday conversation? I have experience in both of these situations and everything in-between.

    Education

    Here is a list of my degrees and English-teaching qualifications:

    Bachelor of English: University of San Diego

    TEFL certification: US Peace Corps (three month training program)

    MBA: University of Arizona - Global Campus

    Experience / Qualifications

    20+ years of experience teaching ESL to teenagers and adult learners
    - Courses taught in the past at middle schools, high schools, universities, and private businesses
    One of the best ways to improve your language skills is to learn new vocabulary while discussing cultural topics. It helps you put context around the words you are learning so you can effectively utilize that vocabulary in daily conversations at work or with English-speaking friends. This class is tailored to the student's particular areas of interest. Possible topics include: - American idioms - American food culture - American sports (baseball and American football) - American cinema - American TV - Specific American culture from a decade: 1920s/30s, 1940s, 1950s/60s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s
    English is a language that is spoken around the world. What will set you apart from others? Your capability to use a diverse vocabulary with a good accent. In these sessions, we will discuss topics of your choice: sports, culture, business, etc. and we will work on both your pronunciation skills and enhancing your vocabulary. What do you want to learn about today? It can be a new topic each lesson or we can use several lessons to take a deep dive into one topic.
    Being able to utilize advanced English in the workplace is a critical skill in today's world. Whether you want to increase your vocabulary and general comfort level with English, or intensively work to improve your language skills related to your specific content area at work? This is the class for you! Possible topics include: - expanding everyday workplace vocabulary - finance and accounting - human resources - operations - sales - management lingo - contracts and negotiations - technical support / IT - other (we can discuss your specific needs)
    One of the most effective ways to prepare for these exams is with a native speaker. We can focus on one area of the test for a single lesson... or even just last-minute conversation preparation. Another option is to work together to prepare for each area of the exam over 5 or 10 lessons together. The TOEFL iBT ® test has 4 sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. During the test, you'll perform tasks that combine these 4 English communication skills, such as: read, listen and then speak in response to a question. listen and then speak in response to a question.

    Private lessons and tutoring in French, English and Spanish
    Graduated from a Masters in Comparative Literature and a Masters in Literary Translation, currently a freelance translator, I offer tutoring courses for middle and high school students in French. I have already accompanied several students in their preparation for the French bac, who have all made good progress. With my students, I insist on acquiring a good methodology to succeed, and put special emphasis on self-confidence: text commentary and essay should not be scary exercises! I work with the texts studied in class and adapt to the student's needs: revisions, feedback on corrected homework, preparation for oral exams, writing exercises ... I can also help students learn English and Spanish, which are my working languages. We look forward to meeting you, and taking part of the literary journey together, Lucia

    Michaël
    Learn in a simple and effective way: Spanish - English - Portuguese
    Good morning! Buenas dias! Delighted Michaël, teacher on the internet for more than two years. I would like to offer you a fun interaction that complements the school method. I have traveled around the globe which has led me to speak several languages and also to work in particular in England, Australia, Spain or the Dominican Republic. Basically I start the lessons by talking with my students about a bit of everything (in order to enrich the vocabulary). Depending on the level I adapt with files that are sent during the course. I also use the Callan method which works on repetition in order to properly assimilate useful words and phrases. All in a positive way :) Tell me your availability if you're interested for a first lesson. At worst it will have made you practice, at best you improve! Regards

I know that what helped me most in my learning English was making English-speaking friends.
