    About Demetrius H.

    I believe in bringing cultures together and creating better understanding between them. One of the ways I do this is by teaching English and social science. English is the international language and social science is the scientific study of human society and social relationships. I have been an ESL instructor and Cross-Cultural Communication Instructor for over 10 years, primarily working internationally for private schools and universities. I enjoy making friends from all around the world. Most importantly, I'm a teacher that will give you a clear goal and plan for success. Furthermore, in regards to ESL, I also use the most advanced teaching techniques, such as simulating real life situations and proficiently correcting your mistakes (known as task-based language learning). My curriculums are based on CEFR standards for professional learning, teaching, and assessment. Additionally, in regards to social science, I have a degree in Anthropology from UC Davis and extensive experience applying that knowledge in the international environment. I am currently completing a teaching credential in social science and a masters degree in education to become a professional high school social science teacher in California.
