Haymarket, VA ESL Lessons

I've been teaching English since 2002 and my students have gone on to develop travel abroad, participate in and win different competitions and contests, and build their careers. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to communicate in it in everyday life and as time goes on you'll be able to make new friends and study and work in it. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

I am a certified teacher for Virginia and California with experience in teaching English as a Second Language both in the US, Japan, and Korea. I have taught students of all ages and worked as a substitute for an ESL college in California.

As a certified teacher, I also have a CLAD certificate, which qualifies me to teach using instruction for English Language Development (ELD) as well as Specially Designed Academic Instruction Delivered in English (SDAIE). Beyond this I have my Master's degree in applied linguistics and English language teaching. My courses involved in this degree included: second language acquisition, English vocabulary: teaching and learning, approaches to applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and intercultural communication.

I firmly believe that learning a language requires regular use of the language in the individual's every day life. Therefore, I like to tailor lessons to the student's needs and interests to encourage this.

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.

Yes, English can be fun! My ESL teaching method is adaptable to fit the student's needs, since I believe everyone has a different learning style and my lesson plans reflect that style. I have been teaching ESL for over 15 years - both in college and in high school. In addition, I have taught English abroad and I am fluent in a variety of languages.
I want my students to reach their full potential in learning English, but also to enjoy themselves. I want to help you build a solid foundation in the area of communication that suit your requirements - speaking, reading, or writing,(or a combination of all three). Send me an email !
