English (ESL)

I've been reading and writing stories and poems for most of my life, and I love sharing my love of literature with others. I hate boring classes so I do my best to make lessons interactive and student focused. I have earned an MFA in Creative writing from Fairfield University, an MA in Liberal studies with a focus on Literature from Rutgers University, and I hold three other degrees in various subjects including a BA in English. I am a proud member of Mensa and a retired Air Force veteran.

The class will focus on improving vocabulary, pronunciation, reading ability, and comprehension with the goal of helping beginner and intermediate student reach an advanced level. Students will practice reading passages which we will review to ensure everyone has a good understanding of the readings. Students will also practice pronunciation by reading longer passages out loud. There will be varied activities and worksheets that focus on vocabulary and grammar. We will read interesting essays, short stories, and poetry that will be different for every class. Every class will be adjusted based on the level of the students and their own individual needs.

Mensa, the high IQ society, provides a forum for intellectual exchange among its members. There are members in more than 100 countries around the world. Activities include the exchange of ideas through lectures, discussions, journals, special-interest groups, and local, regional, national and international gatherings; the investigations of members' opinions and attitudes; and assistance to researchers, inside and outside Mensa, in projects dealing with intelligence or Mensa.

Whether you are new to English writing or are ready to take the next step, I strive to personalize classes to help each individual student excel. I focus on developing clear and concise writing and on helping students develop and improve on their creative work.

teaches very well the correct way to pronounce words and explains very well in cases of doubt

Ivan is one of the best teachers here and always with full of patient and passion sharing us poem and literature. He also helps me a lot in pronounce.

Ivan's love of sharing literature with students helps me learn new vocabulary words and develops the comprehensibility of the offered content.
 
He's a deep personality with a nice sense of humor and is always ready to learn alongside the student. His ability to reflect on his teaching style brings a mutual understanding of the student's needs and works efficiently towards improving one's English skills. I like that he feels free to revise the content until it is fully 'digested' by the student.

Instructions for reducing the accent in English are being very productive in his classes.

Ivan is a great teacher. Even in my first class, he taught me a lot. He is very kind and patient and takes a genuine interest in each student.
