I'm an aspiring author with a teaching and tutoring background teaching English as a second language in China. I've taught and tutored students in English from pre-K through 12th grade. I've also provided editing services to adult colleagues for their fiction and nonfiction manuscripts. I've instructed English in both one on one and classroom settings. I hold a bachelor's degree from Brown University, and have 10 years of professional experience in the tech industry. Finally, I'm a substitute teacher and paraeducator in the Aurora school system.
I'm looking forward to helping you with your English goals, whatever they may be. My preferred lesson structure will be to give you something at your skill level to read, and then have you either explain it back to me verbally or in writing.
I believe that language learning is a combination of both passive and active learning, and that a students understanding is solidified and 'proven' when they're challenged to produce it. But that doesn't mean every lesson is a test! I'll be helping along the way to meet you where you're at!
