English (ESL) with Amy V.

Fluent, confident English...that's what you would like, right?! So, let's start talking! I am a professional ESL Teacher with over 8 years of experience teaching beginner to advanced level English. I know how to help you improve and accomplish your goals because I have helped hundreds of students AND I have learned Spanish as an adult so I know what it takes to acquire a language. What is a lesson like? Talking! We will read, watch, or listen to relevant material to get you talking about many topics. Through discussion we will cover grammar, vocabulary (idioms, phrasal verbs), pronunciation, and more. My goal is to help you become confident speaking in English by beginning to THINK in English. Some of my students have said: "Amy is the most patient teacher I've known. Her classes are very helpful." "I have learned so much and I feel comfortable talking to Amy." "I really like class. I have never talked so much in English before." How I teach: I personalize every class just for you. After our first lesson I will create a plan using interesting videos, articles, and radio to get you speaking English confidently. We will speak naturally, using many tenses and discovering new vocabulary. If you would like, I will assign 'homework' so you can practice in between classes as well.
