    American English for all levels - native English speaker, TEFL-Certified ESL Teacher

    My specialties include: Business English; career advancement, reading comprehension; writing; vocabulary; grammar; presentations and proposals; travel preparation; social interaction; and casual conversation.

    What makes my classes special? I am a seasoned writer, and a published poet with the ability to put a jingle, rhyme, rhythm, or tune to common grammar rules. Jingles are great for memory and retention. This is a proven technique in marketing and advertising that works just as well with English learners.

    I believe the gift of communication empowers us to effectively exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings and so much more. While I am delighted to bring this gift to individuals around the world, it is the gift I receive from my students that brings the most joy.

    I look forward to seeing you in the classroom.

    About Me

    My name is Cleta. I’m a native English speaker and a TEFL-Certified ESL Teacher with 5 years of teaching experience (4 years online). I have a Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Leadership from Mercer University and a Master of Applied Science in Nonprofit Leadership from Capella University.

    During my ESL career I have enjoyed teaching English math, writing, reading and storytelling to my K-12 students. I have also had the pleasure of working with adult learners from 5 different continents about: business ownership and leadership, business management, travel, health, life in the digital age, and a variety of other relevant world topics. We also practice talking about graphs, writing and storytelling.

    I have found the work of guiding my students on the journey to personal, professional and career development to be quite the rewarding experience. My favorite aspect of this work is learning something interesting and new each day.

    I believe the gift of communication empowers us to effectively exchange ideas, thoughts, feelings and so much more. While I am delighted to bring this gift to individuals around the world, it is the gift I receive from my students that brings the most joy.

    Education

    12/2015
    Master's Degree (M.S.) Nonprofit Management and Leadership, Capella University Summa Cum Laude

    12/2012
    Bachelor's Degree (B.S.) Organizational Leadership, Mercer University

    Experience / Qualifications

    I am a life-learner and I believe; we never stop learning and we never stop growing. The never-ending acquisition of knowledge yields constant growth. Accordingly, I have found the constant discovery and learning about different groups, cultures and concepts from across the globe, to be the most rewarding aspect of this work. I absolutely love being able to connect with people from all over the world. The past 4 years of being a Virtual ESL Teacher have broadened my horizons beyond belief, an invaluable experience I could never dream of having, working in a standard corporate environment. Furthermore, I enjoy engaging my students in a wide range of thought-provoking conversations, on an assortment of different topics.

    The world and life experience of: attending a four-year college; graduate school; serving as Chair over a few boards during this time; and years of work in the community; have developed me into an individual with a far-reaching vocabulary, and the capacity to connect with and engage students from a variety of different backgrounds. Already an outgoing individual, this experience has also granted me, the capacity to engage in discussion with adult learners on a wide range of topics. Additionally, my superior writing skills have made me a favorite among students preparing for entrance exams, as well as those embarking on a new career or beginning a journey with a new company.
