I am a college student studying to become an English teacher abroad. I have had some experience in tutoring in math and English but I want to focus on language more so now.

I wouldn't consider myself to be a hard tutor because I don't want to prevent a student from wanting to speak or perform their target language. I prefer to use descriptivist English which is focused on how English is used when someone speaks it without correcting every grammatical mistake. For example, if something is said in English and a native speaker can understand it even when not completely grammatical then it works. If you would rather focus on being completely grammatical that is fine too but even native English speakers aren't totally grammatical all the time.
I am earning my TEFL Certificate from Georgia State University.
Let me know what you're looking for in your lessons, and let's see if we can make that happen.
