ESL Lessons in Northridge. Amazing Teachers.

I've taught ESL to many students, varying from people who could barely say "hello" to those who were just trying to get the past perfect continuous tense right. I love it.

I have been teaching EFL for 20 years and am a native English speaker. I've taught EFL in Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States.

I teach to each students strengths and break down the grammar into easy to comprehend portions, as well focusing on the spoken aspect of the language; since it is the most important aspect of being able to communicate in the language. I utilise pictures, word association, songs, and a variety of techniques to reinforce and remember vocabulary.

In addition, I like to break lessons into 2-3 parts to avoid boredom on the part of the student. This can also include games specifically tailored to English-language learners.

I have many years' experience scoring the TOEIC, TOEFL, GRE, and TOEFL Jr. exams, so I can be a big help for test prep! I have taught ESL online for several years, and I love meeting people from all over the world! I like to hear your ideas and opinions about things, and we can use your interests in different subjects as part of our lessons to make things interesting, if you would like. My goal is to be patient and kind to every student, so you will not feel stressed or nervous. I want to help you to learn and improve your English so you can be successful. I have traveled to many countries and all around the US, and my experiences and education are the perfect combination to help you become fluent in English.

First-Class Tutoring.

Hello, welcome to my studio ! I myself am not a native speaker as I arrived in the US to live permanently when I was 7 years old. However, through my acclimation and diligent studies, I'm glad that I'm now fluent and proficient enough to believe that I can teach ESL in the beginning and intermediate levels. I have 2 summers of teaching experience teaching ESL overseas to Chinese students as well as teaching Citizenship class to immigrants. Learning English is not just about learning the words, but practicing listening and speaking in conversation. I excelled in spelling in elementary school and vocabulary in middle and high school (memorizing word-for-word on the definitions), helping me to excel in my grades and exams during those years. Hopefully, you can get some helpful learning tricks from me!

Please note: I have had a successful background check recently in Canada. If you would like to take lessons but would like to verify or get an update of my background check status

I have more than 10 years teaching experience with several different platforms. I am a published writer and poet. I have succeeded in helping hundreds of students prepare and pass their IELTS exams. I am TESOL certified and hold numerous awards in academics and writing. I love teaching and make each and every lesson a personal and caring experience! My lessons are fun and engaging and will keep your child/teen excited about learning, and happy to come to class!
