I am a college professor who teaches Political Science courses but I also possess a GA Level 5 TEFL Diploma. I have been teaching young adults (16+) for over 25 years. I would welcome the opportunity to help you improve your business language skills or simply work with you on your conversational English. As a published author, I have very strong writing skills and can help you improve your proposals, reports, or cover letters. I will happily work with you to devise a short or longer-term curriculum appropriate for the skills you need to develop. If you are interested in seeking employment or attending university in America, I will also expose you to culture, aiding in your transition! Our lessons will typically focus on developing your conversational language and idiomatic phrasing skills, however, I will also provide targeted tutoring on your grammar to ensure there are no gaps as you move to fluency. I will assist you in recognizing and reducing problematic errors in pronunciation (i.e. [/v/, /b/ and /w/] present among Germanic/Slavic language speakers, the [/ch/sh/ and 'dreaded' e-s/ e-d for native Spanish speakers, as well as the /z/ for native Asian-language speakers). For French speakers, putting the "h" where is belongs :) and working on those prepositions and articles! While I recognize the individuality and richness that YOUR L1 dialect brings to your adopted L2 of English, if there are aspects of your L1 dialect that you are self-conscious about when speaking English, I will help you develop techniques to reduce and potentially, eliminate them. I do use my own materials, but these materials are supplemented with podcasts, short videos, film recommendations, and other sources for current and timely events and popular culture. I do provide homework if you would like to have more opportunities to practice. I do not have the requisite training to work with children and I would recommend you select another tutor who specializes in working with small children if you are seeking a tutor to help your child. I have considerable flexibility in my schedule so please feel free to reach out to me and ask if a time is available if you do not see it on my schedule---I would be happy to book you in for a tutorial if that works for both of us!
