Professional and Experienced Native English ESL & Business English TeacherI'm a highly experienced native English teacher and professional writer. I love my work and when teaching I like to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for my students.
My aim is to help learners to achieve their career goals through a good understanding of how to speak and write English well. When you have an interesting and fulfilling career - it makes your life happy! I like to think that I help my learners have a happy and satisfying future!
Errors are O.K.
I believe it is very important that my students feel it is O.K. to make mistakes, because real, permanent learning comes from making errors and being gently corrected. The important thing about learning to speak English is that you are able to communicate, not that your speech is perfect.
Grammar
However, I do teach English Grammar very carefully because learners need to have a structure and know exactly when to use a specific tense. Knowing the grammar of a language is not difficult when you have an expert teacher who can break it down into small steps that are easy to understand.
I concentrate of building a pattern of success for my students in their learning process, and really enjoy seeing how their self-confidence grows during the course of our lessons.
I encourage my learners to speak as much English as possible during my classes, as this is the best way to practice and improve in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
I am a patient teacher and my students always progress well!
