Learning English opens doors to travelling, to studying and to working abroad. With English being the most commonly used foreign language among foreign English language speakers, English dominates the fields of tourism, film, science and technology.

I am a native English speaker from Canada, certified to English as a Second Language and to help with TOEFL Preparation. I understand the difficulties of plateauing and the struggle to obtain fluency. My goal is to keep students challenged and engaged by using students' interests to guide the language acquisition process and different forms of media to understand different English dialects and culture.

About Me
I believe that a successful teacher is one that engages his or her students in activities and/or discussions, which allows students to remember the language skills practiced in each lesson and to retain those from previous lessons. Being able to know the students' interests would guide my lesson plans and activities to one that would engage the students and enhance their understanding. I also believe that multimedia is a great way to tie ­in the cultural component of learning a language by showing video clips and/or music of English-speaking countries throughout the world. Children learn the best through play. Making crafts, baking and cooking are all great ways to engage children in English by learning new vocabulary.

I have realized my passion for teaching during my summers as an Aquatic Supervisor. I love creating engaging lesson plans where each child leaves the lesson learning something new and a smile on his or her face. Each summer, I watched children grow, learn and become more confident in their abilities.

I appreciate the time that you have taken to read my profile and I look forward to hearing from you.
