I have been teaching ESL for 10 years. I started in Taiwan at a brick-and-mortar school and quickly moved to online ESL lessons. I've been making and teaching lessons ever since. I've worked at some big Chinese companies before and I know first-hand that my lessons are much better than you'll find at any Chinese school.
How can we always empower kids to do more, have more and be more? How can I add more jokes and fun to this lesson? How can I connect this lesson to this kid's life and help them get the skills they need to succeed in the real world? I make many PowerPoint lessons. Each lesson is a complete 50-minute lesson and you will often find far more material than you can teach in 1 hour. I am always thinking of and preparing for the more advanced and the weaker students. Some students want/need to talk more, some need to practice grammar more. How can I be ready for everyone and everything? The lesson order goes: Warm-up, vocab, vocab review, grammar, reading questions, and then I have many post-reading exercises. They are usually an open conversation or a grammar review exercise. Last is a writing assignment for homework.
Yet to be added
I was an English major and Philosophy minor at UC Davis where I graduated and got my BA. I have always loved reading and writing and I am grateful to share my passions with students. I have learned how to be a teacher by teaching non-stop ever since I graduated. Through teaching I have traveled all around the world. I've taught in Italy, Germany, Taipei, and now I continue to teach in Thailand.
I am also working on my own kid’s stories. I am working on a kid's mystery series and a longer novel that I'm sure Horatio Alger would be proud of. I love Don Quixote, Hans Christian Anderson, Roald Dahl, Jocko Willink, and any author that gives kids the respect and guidance that children need.
