About Kesley
I focus mainly in tutoring and managing group study sessions for English learners, whether they are international students or native speakers. However, I am always looking for new opportunities to teach other topics, such as beginning/intermediate Japanese or Korean.
I like to teach in a fun and comfortable environment. Learning should be exciting, not boring. I am a very patient and understanding individual, so no matter the student's level, I always find a way to work the subject matter around their needs.

About Michelle W.
Close
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.
About Michelle
Hi! I'm Michelle, a world traveler/teacher who's here to help bring her experience and energy to students back home in California. I've taught various subjects such as test prep, English, history, and languages to students all over the world, such as China, France, and Ecuador. I've worked with students of all ages and love getting to know them to help figure out how they best learn.
I love learning languages in my spare time and practicing when I can. When I'm not looking a bit silly doing that, I'm usually reading, at a baseball game, hiking, or hanging out with friends. I keep active, making sure to run or climb a mountain when I can. However, it's equally as strong as my love for foods of all kinds.
I really look forward to getting to work with you and helping you with whatever I can!

About Flavia R.
Close
I am an experienced teacher for 10 years working with all levels and ages. Teaching is my passion, therefore I work hard to get the best results from my students. I use different techniques to ensure you will have fun and at the same time you will learn and feel confident speaking English.
About Flavia
Teaching is a great opportunity to learn from each other. It is a two-way street where we will both enrich our culture.
I started teaching when I was very young at 15 when I taught Sunday School and prepared kids for their communion and confession sacraments. That's when I fell in love with teaching and the reward of seeing my students pursue their goal of speaking English.
I studied English for 5 years in a international academy in my native country, Venezuela. Then I worked as a teacher since 2008 up until 2015 when I moved to Gainesville, FL. I still assist online my former students when they have a test or just need a refreshment on some subject.
I have not only taught English as a second Language but also taught in an International School the following subjects: World History, Art History, Philosophy and Reading & Grammar.

About Meredith M.

About Meredith
I believe that creativity is a positive force in our world.
It has the power to heal, validate, energize, and give meaning to both its giver and receiver. Music is one of the most beautiful forms of creativity that exists!
I'm a songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, and have taught private voice sessions for 10+ years.
I've written and recorded 4 studio albums of my own music, and collaborated with a number of other talented musicians, songwriters, DJs and producers in Los Angeles and New York. I've performed live in many venues in NYC and Los Angeles, and almost every state in between.
Our lessons are designed to not only help you improve your singing voice, but to help you become more confident as a performer, and more comfortable expressing yourself in a way that is uniquely YOU!

About Dr. John M.
Close
As a former PBS Radio Announcer; Diction coach for Hollywood films; Actor; and Doctoral degree-holding College Professor, my understanding of English grammar, diction, dialects, and colloquial forms of the English language is unique in the ESL market. I taught for over 10 years as an ESL instructor while in college, and have continued to use my abilities in my profession over the last quarter-century.
About Dr. John
Can you really learn to sing, or speak English like a native, online? Yes, when you have a superior teacher. Online teaching is so much easier, safer, and sensible today, and I can help you become a better speaker of English, or prepare for that Audition for Grad school, or Broadway, with my 25-plus years of teaching experience and success in the real world- my students were movie stars in Mexico, singers on Broadway & in national tours, and performed in numerous community theaters, choirs, and opera companies in the USA. I know how to help you succeed!

Review by Amy
"I have worked with Maggie Hamble for over ten years, briefly as a teaching colleague at a private language school and more extensively when she was my sup
ervisor at a university ESL program. Maggie will bring out the very best in you. She comes from a family of educators and has nearly two decades’ experience in adult education. She’s helped hundreds of students from all over the world achieve their language learning goals, whether accent reduction, academic writing, English for business, or just for fun. What I love most about Maggie is how clearly she explains the most confusing grammar topics and how she encourages her students to identify and correct their own errors. Patient but firm, friendly, and always professional, Maggie sincerely delights in watching her students improve. Working with her, you will master English grammar and find yourself speaking more fluently and confidently than you ever thought you could."

Review by Harumi
"As an ESL student, I was fortunate to have a number of good teachers. However, Maggie was a special teacher for me. What made her special is that she alwa
ys tried to understand what and how her students wanted to learn. Regardless of which countries we were from, she tried to understand our cultural difference, native language differences, and meet our needs in a way that best matched our learning styles.
I am Japanese. Although a Japanese sentence can be translated to English in a grammatically correct way and English speakers can understand it, often the sentence does not resemble native English. Maggie helps advanced learners understand how certain words carry various emotions and create a certain ambience. She believes that native-like fluency cannot be attained through translation and gave me tools to break the habit and develop a more intuitive approach to language learning.
Maggie has great enthusiasm for teaching each student well. Her lessons were systematic and she clearly explained grammar and style points. She used not only textbooks, but also many materials which made her lessons much more fun! That’s why I liked her lessons so much.
I believe you would have a wonderful experience studying with Maggie.
Working with her would be one of the fastest ways to improve your English language skills."

Review by Emanuela
"I am Italian, and some years ago I went to NY to study English as an ESL student. I spent six months in the school, and I still remember those months as s
ome of the best ones in my life. It was memorable not just because of the experience, but also because my then (very) poor English improved a lot, making me the person I am today (English is essential in my present work in Italy.)
Maggie is absolutely one of those who made this possible: she was one of my teachers, and she was simply great! She helped me so much in those months, and I really enjoyed following her classes. I think she is a brilliant, naturally gifted educator, enthusiastic and accurate. She is professional, serious, and her methods are simple and effective. She can always find ways to make things easier, even the most difficult ones (grammar for example!), so that meanings/concepts/rules would become clear and fixed in our mind.
She is also a very nice and generous person, always available to help: she cared so much about our education, making sure nobody was left behind, and every time I needed some extra explanations, she was always there to give more information, making examples taken from the everyday life, using tricks, songs, newspaper articles, connecting so theory to practice.
My English and I owe her a lot, and I’m sure your experience with her will be as enjoyable and rewarding as mine!"
