FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During our first meeting, which may take place in person or via video chat, we discuss your background with English and what you have learned so far. We discuss what you feel are your weak points and your strong points. We go over your objectives. After listening to your goals and how well you are able to communicate in English, I can make suggestions for areas to focus on in our lessons. I also help provide feedback as you speak, so that it can sound more natural.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a CELTA - Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults, which is a very highly regarded qualification from Cambridge University. I have attended English teacher training workshops as on ongoing effort to improve myself as a teacher and guide for students to improve their English.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was living abroad in the Czech Republic, and everybody kept asking me to teach English! Finally I gave in, and I found that I really enjoy it!
