Speak English with Confidence!~Canadian ESL Tutoring
Àpd 21.67 $ /h
The most common reason why learners have tutoring with me is to improve their speaking. Expressing yourself clearly in English can be quite challenging and requires regular practice and correction.
I can help!
This lesson type will help you improve everyday (colloquial) English. (However, there is some flexibility, so we can cover other topics also.) I do minimal preparation (no more than ten minutes) for each lesson.
I specialize in helping learners find their “voice” in English so that they can express their true thoughts and feelings. They will learn about themselves, others, and the world—not just English.
I usually use https://esldiscussions.com/ as the content, but you might want to talk about your day, your life, the news, or another topic that interests you. If you are not sure what topics you would like to choose, we can talk about this during our first lesson.
There will be homework after every lesson: reviewing each lesson’s notes and bringing questions from school, work, or self-study. Also, you may write down ideas for the next lesson’s topic(s). but this is optional.
During your speaking lessons, I will also target other aspects of your spoken English that you would like to improve, such as your listening, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and idiom and phrasal verb use.
Please note that if you would like online lessons, I will create your own Google Doc for your lessons and usually use Skype. A Google Doc is cloud-based and will allow you to see the notes I’m typing. As a result, you can look at them during and after each lesson. I can record your lessons on Skype so that you can listen to them later.

Présentation
I am a native speaker of English who grew up in Halifax, Canada. I have tutored and taught ESL for over 25 years, mostly in Halifax and online (since 2010).
As well as a degree in English literature from Dalhousie University in Halifax, I have a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate and a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Certificate. If you are interested in learning the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP), I also have CELPIP Instructor Training – Level 1 and Level 2 (Advanced) certificates.
I have lived in a foreign country (Mexico) and studied three foreign languages for many years (Spanish, French, and German), so I understand what my students go through when they learn English.
One of the most enjoyable parts of my job is getting to know my students and making their lessons effective. During my lessons, I try to create a comfortable and stimulating environment where my students can focus on learning and have fun at the same time
I am enthusiastic, am very patient, and have a good sense of humour. I also really love English!
In my free time, my interests include going for walks, nature, yoga, biking, design, classic and modern literature, journalling, and spiritual psychology. Musically, I am a fan of Sarah McLachlan and Aurora.
