Educated, Certified & Experienced Instruction that's Fun!

Amy T.

Hello! My name is Amy and I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the United States. I am a TEFL Certified English Tutor with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Psychology, as well as a Certification in Legal Assistant Studies. I have been teaching English as a Foreign (or Second) Language since 2017. I have experience teaching both online and in person, private and group lessons for adults and children as well as for adults at a private language school. I have also substituted at a public school for grades K - 8. Before teaching, I was a Human Resource Manager where training was part of my duties. I conducting orientations, seminars and trained new employees. I worked as an English tutor during my high school and university years. I've always taught in some capacity. While working during my university years, I taught make-up artistry, as well as weight lifting and nutritional counseling as a personal trainer. Fitness, healthy cooking and baking are my hobbies.

No matter what I am teaching or instructing, my goal has always been simple, to make learning a fun and enjoyable experience with a lot of laughter! I would help my fellow students in elementary, middle and high school who had difficulties in English class. I also have a legal assistant studies certification, which was very useful when I was a Human Resource Manager, as I dealt with employment, labor and immigration laws. I enjoy helping people learn. In my classroom I want people to feel relaxed. I am also a language learner, so I know how intimidating it can be, but mistakes are OK. Actually, mistakes are part of the process! In my classroom, no one is judging you and we will have fun and laugh a lot! I want it to be a great experience that you will look forward to! Teaching has enabled me to meet so many people from around the world and to learn about their countries, their traditions and cultures. It's a career I love, and I think you will see this when we work together.
