    About Jeremiah C.

    5.0
    (2)
    Hi, I'm Jeremiah. I'm a teacher and a learning experience designer, and I've been teaching English writing and linguistics to adult learners of all levels for over eight years. I moved to China to teach English in 2012. I spent most of my time there working at Hebei Normal University, teaching oral English; academic writing; pronunciation; lexicology; IELTS test prep; and reading. I also taught classes for children and adults, both one-on-one and in groups. Since then, I have also lived and taught in Paraguay, as well as online; I'm currently based in the US. I published my first book, The Crown of Secrets, in 2016. It's a collection of short stories for children, illustrated by artists from around the world. I'm currently working on editing a lexicology textbook and putting together a collection of Chinese myths. When I'm not teaching or writing, I develop curricula and learning materials for all sorts of clients with a wide range of learning situations. I'd love to create and teach a customized course just for you to help you meet your learning goals!

    Experience

    English Teacher

    Aug, 2013 - Present

    Hebei Normal University (and others)

    I taught a variety of courses to university students of varying skill levels at HNU, including: - Oral English - Writing - Lexicology - Pronunciation - Reading - IELTS preparation I designed most of the curriculum and course material myself. My focus was always on making the information relevant and useful to my students. Class sizes ranged from 12 students to 80. Many of my students later continued on to graduate school, some in China and many others abroad.

    English Tutor

    Jan, 2013 - Present

    Self-Employed

    As a tutor, my goal is to determine my students' needs and priorities, and gear the lessons toward those goals. Some classes focus on reading and acquiring vocabulary and grammatical structures; others take a more creative bent with writing and games; some are almost entirely conversation; still others might focus on specific skills like interviews or business meetings. I have taught students as young as age 3 all the way up to adults.

    Author

    May, 2004 - Present

    Self-Employed

    I received my first writing awards in high school, in state- and nation-wide fiction and poetry competitions. Since then, I have self-published a collection of illustrated stories for children (and a matching coloring book); written dozens of short stories; reviewed books and music; and reflected on travel on my blog. I am currently finishing a lexicology textbook; writing a collection of Chinese myths adapted into English; and shopping my first middle-grade novel to agents.
