I have a significant background in ESL and TESOL that I am confident I can employ to realize an effective and engaging learning experience for students of any level and background. I earned my TESL Certificate at UCLA following completion of my first year of graduate studies in the TESL/Applied Linguistics Department. During my two-year tenure I taught beginning, intermediate and advanced ESL classes for either the TESL Department or for the American Language Center (UCLA Extension). I have also taught English at Marymount College (now Marymount California University), Kanda Gaigo Gakuin (Tokyo) and at EF International Language Schools.
I am a dynamic, personable, and creative instructor and have a strong command of the latest language teaching methodologies and techniques. I am confident that I can provide a dynamic and engaging educational experience for all students regardless of age or prior experience with the English Language.
I have a Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) Certificate from UCLA. I have taught at all levels (university courses, high school ELD, middle and elementary school). I have privately tutored a Japanese high school student at Peninsula high school (who went on to graduate from UCLA) a Chinese medical doctor who has done cancer research at UCLA and USC, and businessmen and housewives associated with Toyota, Honda and Konami. I have developed my own website for ESL/EFL students and I am adept at teaching pronunciation, accent reduction, grammar, vocabulary development, communication skills, listening comprehension, business English and TOEFL/TOEIC preparation.
If you are a beginner in the English language or someone who wishes to bring his/her skills up to native level, a child, teenager or adult I can customize a program of study for you. No matter how good you are in English, I can make you better! I look forward to meeting you.
