Speak English NY

Introduction: Hi! My name is Sam. I'm originally from NY, but have also lived in Geneva, Switzerland and Singapore. I understand what it is like to be in a foreign country, and how difficult it can be when you aren't comfortable with the language! I have a CELTA certification (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages), which is provided by the Cambridge English Language Assessment, and have been teaching both private and small group classes since 2013. I love languages, and have a degree in French language and literature from Buffalo State College. I believe that learning languages opens so many doors for people, and being able to help people integrate into the English-speaking world gives me so much joy and fulfillment! I love working with people from all over the world, and learning about their lives and cultures, as well as sharing mine with them! Within the first few lessons, you'll start speaking simple sentences and as time goes on, you'll be able to have full conversations like a pro! My students have won "Most Improved English" awards at school, and have gone from speaking very little English, to being able to communicate comfortably within a short amount of time. I can tailor lessons to your specific needs and abilities, and enjoy finding interesting, fun materials to assist you in your learning. My lessons are very student centered, and I love incorporating news articles, passages from books and songs, as well as lots of conversation. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me or my lessons. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
