Bio:
Clear native Canadian English speaker with a cheerful, fun and creative style. Tailored, easy lessons yet challenging and motivating, using general conversation and literary tools to help build your confidence in speaking. No matter if you are an introvert or extrovert, we will get some great conversation going. Otherwise, enjoy helping you get ready for exams, interviews, preparing business materials, technical communication or general improvement in talk for travel.
My teaching methodology:
What English assets and deficiencies do you have? We can make a program together that fits your preferences. Foreign speakers often need help on "TH" and past tense usage. To have some fun let's try out some tongue twisters and compare some of the cray rules we have in language. Expect simple conversation, building up confidence and interest and then throwing out some challenging tasks as you progress. Love conversation on just about any topic so finding your passion is key to enjoyment there.
My teaching background:
Teaching English for some time now and really enjoy meeting new people interested in improving their speaking skills. From Central and South America where I began to teach locals in exchange for teaching their language, it became an integral part of traveling. Now being a part of Langu, has really taught me a lot about how to be a good listener and forced me to revisit my English roots. So studying linguistics and exchanging that information with others has become a rewarding past time.
My background outside of teaching:
Motivated by a big interest in etymology, (word history) and the study of cultures and their relationship with phonology, (sound study), while traveling and living through this miracle of a planet, has made for some mind boggling adventures that are sure to color our conversations as we share our experiences. In order of learning, have experience with French, Spanish, German and now use Portugues as my daily driver. Have a lot of exposure to Polish because they make up the bulk of the students. So it is interesting and funny when we compare these two very differently spoken languages.
