I have MA in TESOL and I’ve been teaching English to ESL/EFL students for more than 15 years. I have taught English in the United States, the Middle East and South America. I've taught students from elementary age to university and beyond; my specialty, however, is teaching university and adult students. My teaching experience has also included online English tutoring, and I've taught students from all over the world including China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, France, Italy and Russia. I started PoshPark as a way to share some of the materials that I've created over the years for students, parents and other teachers! Thanks for checking out my profile!
My guiding principles as an ESL teacher are to: ✔ Analyze my students' needs and help them develop their linguistic and communicative competence to meet both their present and future needs. ✔ Impart knowledge in a way that enables students to fulfill their potential without curtailing their natural instinct to learn and discover. ✔ Seek out and use authentic material to help my students achieve their communicative potential and goals. ✔ Build on students' prior knowledge. ✔Provide tasks that encourage interaction. ✔ Provide authentic language use that is relevant and memorable. ✔ Use elements of a range of syllabus types, i.e. grammatical structures, lexical items, learning activities, and tasks that are interactive, negotiated, and reflective.
