Fontana, CA ESL Lessons

ESL - Learn accent reduction, basic grammar, conversational skills.

I currently work for and have been extensively trained by The VIPKID organization where, over the internet, I teach children from China to speak English. I have won praise from both my students and their parents for my empathetic and patient approach.

I teach English as a Second Language and English for Speakers of Other Languages. While teaching, I focus on pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, reading, writing, sentence structure, subject-verb agreement, comprehension, etc. I have taught ESL/ESOL/TOEFL/TOEIC/IELTS to Saudi/Persian, Chinese/Taiwanese, Russian/Ukrainian/Latvian, Japanese, and Brazilian students, as well as others. I have helped six TOEFL candidates retake their test and score totals in listening, speaking, reading, writing as high as 96.

Whether you need copy-editing of your professional document, better pronunciation, or simply to reduce your accent, and sound more 'American', I am well able to help you!

I’m a graduate of the University of Southern California, with my MAT in TESOL, and a B.A. in Dramatic Arts/Entrepreneurship. I’m thankful to have been awarded USC’s Jack Nicholson Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Actor. I use my theatre arts background to teach reading strategies, pronunciation, vocabulary, effective academic writing, and speaking.

For pronunciation, I work to make your listeners understand you better, placing an emphasis on the proper intonation and stress patterns.

I have been successfully teaching ESL for many years now. I received my TESOL certification from Teachers College, Columbia University and I also have my BEST Plus Certification. I love teaching ESL because it allows me to hone my English and teaching skills, while also giving me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I am constantly working to discover the most unique and effective teaching methods possible.

I have created lesson plans and taught English to immigrants in the United States and to students in China. I have experience in medium-sized classes and one-on-one settings. I try to focus on as many accents and dialects as possible to make sure you can communicate effectively in different contexts. I have degrees in language education, and I am now working on a PhD in applied linguistics and language education.

Bachelor Degree in Communications and Master's Degree in Teaching English as a Second Language plus 10 years experience in getting people from all over the world to read, write and speak English by approaching every student with unique, individualized activities and techniques based on each student's skills, talents, likes and learning styles to maximize our time together!

I love tutoring ESL students because I am experienced to simplify complex subjects and explain them to my peers and students in the most comprehensible way, so it could be never forgotten. Another reason to become an ESL tutor is gaining more experience and connecting with different students from different cultures and backgrounds. In addition, I possess my own unique methods of approaching a subject and understanding the details of the matter in the most efficient manner. In my opinion, sharing our information and learning new things from each other is the most effective way of progressing in our academic and career life. As English is my language as well, so I know how to simply help the students in essay writings and different assignments.
