Native English speaker with 11 years of teaching experience. Taught in Canada and Japan. I train students in language proficiency tests for permanent residency and/or acceptance to universities; I also train students for Canadian college entrance exams (100% passing rate), resume building and job interview preparations.

Education / Certificates

Honours Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics, Spanish and Portuguese. Advanced TESOL Certificate from Coventry House International OnTESOL (accredited by TESL Canada and ACTDEC UK)

Professional Experience

- English Lab Toronto (2011-2015; 2016-2017): private language school in downtown Toronto (taught beginner, intermediate, advanced and business English classes) - Japanese Board of Education through the JET Programme (2015-2016): taught in Japanese public schools to elementary, junior high, high school and special needs classes - Freelance private ESL teacher (2017-present): provide private classes to international students in Toronto. I've helped students achieve life milestones like passing proficiency tests to obtain permanent residency and/or university acceptance, pass Canadian college entrance exams, obtain employment (help students with resume building and preparing for job interviews)

Teaching Approach

I like to use the communicative approach but I also draw from my own technical knowledge of language (and second language acquisition) from my degree in Linguistics, Spanish and Portuguese. My classes are very student-centred, so I take the time to get to know my students so I can harness their strengths.

Availability

I am flexible and can easily adapt to a student's schedule
