English (ESL) with Andrea H.

Learning English should be a fun experience for everyone! Every learner is unique and learning any language is a gradual process. It can be overwhelming and I will try to be accommodating within reason. I want students to succeed! ------- If you are interested in booking a time with me please send me a message with ALL of the following information about the student: Name and/or nickname: Their preferred pronoun(s): Languages: First, second, or more.: Are there any disabilities that I need to be aware of? MATERIALS: Does the student have pre-existing learning materials that you prefer to use for their lessons? Yes: Please provide me the information and materials No: answer with (No) Hobbies: what do they like to draw, what types of music, etc Animals: pet(s) and name(s) What jobs do they want to be: teacher, scientist, architect, etc. What food do they love? Favorite breakfast food, fruits, candy, etc. What is their favorite school subject(s)? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? What skills do you want to strengthen? What is the goal that you are hoping to achieve from lessons? ------- Time varies depending on the student's abilities and time availability. ------- Lesson structure: Greeting Warmer activity (a game) (one of the following) Listening, Reading, Grammar, Phonics Conversation Review (Time remaining will be for questions from the student or further conversation depth) ------- I like to personalize lessons; make them relatable, and still be educational. Strong conversations are important for real-world situations; job interviews, shopping, banking, etc. I have experience learning languages as well as teaching languages. I try to find the best method of learning for all students and use of interests! I am an artist! In previous lessons that I had with my last employer, I would have students draw a picture before class and talk about it when they introduce themselves. I love animals! When I had students that were not so artsy… I would have them talk about their pets or animals. Most students love animals! I would have students talk about what certain animals were like.. if they were cute, quiet, soft, happy, stinky, clean, etc. I am a musician; vocals, piano, guitar, ukulele, piano and more! I love to write funny educational animal songs for my niece and nephew. Creating songs using verb tenses, new vocabulary, phonetics, often helps a student learn patterns and phonetics. Lessons will improve communication skills; have a conversation about animals, clothes, food, music, and more! Learn how to give descriptive details and ask interesting questions so you can have more engaging and meaningful conversations.
