TOEFL iBT or Essentials and Duolingo (DET) Preparation

We'll first review your target score, any practice or previous exams you've taken and when your application deadlines are to make a study plan. We'll review the sections of the exam that you want to work on together, as some students preparing for the TOEFL iBT only want tutoring on a specific section.

We isolate each task to discuss the best strategy for each, then practice it. When you're comfortable, then we'll move on to the next task. I can provide homework if you'd like and I can also provide additional materials if there's something that needs fixing, like a particular grammar topic.

Extra information

Have something to take notes if you're preparing for the TOEFL. We will also use Google Docs.

About Me

I'm a native English teacher, a student of Spanish, a veteran of the US Army and a former American football coach. I enjoy traveling and have spent some years living outside the US in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Kosovo and Mexico.

Education

B.S. in Sociology from Worcester State University (3.79 GPA) and completed some coursework toward a PhD at Washington State University. In relation to football: completed coaching clinics at Washington State University under Mike Leach and summer camps at Boise State University.

Experience / Qualifications

I coached high school as an assistant football coach from 2013 - 2016. I grew up playing the sport from my youth through high school. I've attended clinics and trainings at top programs. I also study the game and watch film.
Our classes will be based on your goals and current level. I teach from the pre-intermediate level to advanced and prefer working with teens and adults. It's ok if you have short term goals, like interview preparation, resume writing or preparing for a trip. It's also ok if your goals are long term where we can make a structured plan to improve every area: speaking, writing, listening and reading. How do you learn best? We can use a book, songs, TED Talks and a variety of other material.
This class is designed for people who want to understand American Football. It's a common thought that "it's just people running into each other", but it's like chess (just more physical) and you will understand why. We will assess your beginning knowledge and where you want your final understanding to be. By the end of our classes, you will be able to understand the basic rules, the flow of a game, terminology and how it ends. I also have a board game that we can play (I'll send you the files) that uses actual strategy. Once you get some basics, we can use this tool to put things into practice.

Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Abdul
learn English from a native teacher born and raised in the UK
Hello, my name is Abdul , i’m a native English speaker born and raised in the UK. Im very friendly and enthusiastic to teach you english in a natural and fun way. Don’t hesitate to contact me . I always see that learning a language is a lot like a marriage. If you want it to work you must give it time and dedication and really nurture to grow stronger day by day. But most importantly you must be happy with it and so that definitely means that is should not be something you find tiresome and bored, but rather you must enjoy it ! I really dislike the traditional way of teaching English through boring text books focusing solely on grammar. Trust me that is not the best way to develop your language because you will end up with theory knowledge but with little or no application. Therefore the best way to study to to immerse yourself in conversational English that we use in our everyday lives. We can master how to express ourselves in English by learning useful vocabulary and correcting our sentence structures and pronunciation. This will ensure you will be speaking the English that native speakers speak with.

There are 3 things: 1. we are going to have fun! I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. I have studied Afrikaans so I know it can be very difficult to learn a new language but it's always important to have fun! 2. We are going to work on improving your skills. While we are in class, we can have a general discussion. I will give you feedback. I will help you correct your mistakes and please I don't want you to worry about making mistakes. Mistakes are good. When you make a mistake, you learn. Practice makes progress. This is how we improve. 3. Create a plan. Remember, getting to Fluency needs a plan. It is important to understand where you are going. Do you want to use English for work, travel or do you want to use it for school? What ever it is you want to learn English for, it is a good idea to have a plan.
