Experience
Over ten years of experience teaching ESOL/ ESL. Three years of experience teaching English in Taiwan and Thailand. Sox years of online teaching experience with a focus on speaking, listening and reading comprehension skills. Taught ELLs (English Language Learners) in middle school, high school, and college as a full-time teacher. Taught English for Specific Purposes (ESP) including English for tourism, English for the hotel, and business English. Trained novice ESL teachers. Experience editing papers and explaining curriculum content for students earning master's degrees in various subjects. I enjoy tutoring because it gives me an opportunity to help others. It is wonderful to see people who were shy and uncertain, become confident in their abilities. Many of my students have stayed with me for an extended period of time, sometimes for years. It has been an honor to see them grow and achieve great things. My teaching style is creative and spontaneous; I try my best to adapt to individual students' learning styles and to give them adequate feedback and support.
