Sterling, VA ESL Lessons

As someone who has successfully learned English, I can guide you through your learning process to take your English to the next level. Everyone has different points to work on such as speaking, accent reduction, reading and writing. I will identify your sticking points and help you overcome your challenges with the English language.

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've been an instructor of language for over 25 years. My goals is to help you gain an appreciation for the English language, its complexities, and how to properly pronounce and spell various words in the language.

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.

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 !

I have been teaching English to non-native speakers, outside of the U.S. for the last 2.5 years. I have taught both in a classroom and in private lessons with all ages. Living outside of the U.S. I have also learned foreign languages myself. From my experiences learning and teaching, I know what it takes for a student to effectively learn and practice a new language. I also know how important it is that you enjoy your lessons and because of that, I make sure to create interesting and engaging lesson plans. Send me a message and we'll create a plan that fits your learning styles and goals!

Learning another language is hard! I believe best results are achieved by providing lots of encouragement, and by creating a welcoming environment in which to learn.
