Hyattsville, MD ESL Lessons

I teach ESL to beginner - advanced students.

As someone who has successfully learned English, I can guide you through your learning process to take your English to the next level. Everyone has different points to work on such as speaking, accent reduction, reading and writing. I will identify your sticking points and help you overcome your challenges with the English language.

I've been teaching English since 2002 and my students have gone on to develop travel abroad, participate in and win different competitions and contests, and build their careers. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to communicate in it in everyday life and as time goes on you'll be able to make new friends and study and work in it. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

Want to speak English more proficiently? Want to sound more like a native English speaker? I can help you learn more clear pronunciation, learn idioms, and learn the vocal inflections that are common in American English.

I hold a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in Bilingual/Bicultural Education. Prior to earning my masters degree, I was a bilingual educator for six years. In addition, I have conducted research in language acquisition and have been trained using research based learning strategies.

I have been teaching English to non-native speakers, outside of the U.S. for the last 2.5 years. I have taught both in a classroom and in private lessons with all ages. Living outside of the U.S. I have also learned foreign languages myself. From my experiences learning and teaching, I know what it takes for a student to effectively learn and practice a new language. I also know how important it is that you enjoy your lessons and because of that, I make sure to create interesting and engaging lesson plans. Send me a message and we'll create a plan that fits your learning styles and goals!

Learning another language is hard! I believe best results are achieved by providing lots of encouragement, and by creating a welcoming environment in which to learn. I a Masters graduate drawing on several years experience of teaching at all levels to help you learn. I will spend time to get to understand your goals and will tailor lessons to reach them. All ages and levels welcome. I look forward to meeting you!

I've taught French and English to students aged 5 to 75! I have done so at universities, in several schools and for the US Congress. Not only can learning a language be great fun, it can be great for your career! Even if we don't start with a language in common, we will work to identify your goals and tailor classes within a proven framework. Contact me and I will help you on your journey!

I studied English Literature and Grammar at the University of Arkansas. I have also taught English as a second language and can teach from the basics to advanced grammar.

If you're wanting to take ESL lessons with me, I would like to use the Growing Participator Approach and teach conversationally. I am flexible, however, and will tailor the lessons to what you would like to learn!
