TEACHING STYLE

Teaching over 7000 classes and nearly 700 students with VIPKid has given me an accurate idea of what parents want their children to learn. My lessons include consistent error correction and a focus on correct pronunciation, along with generous amounts of conversational practice and student output.

If I was your child's VIPKid teacher, it's time for us to work together again. But this time, our lessons will be even more carefully designed with your child's needs and strengths in mind. Your child has the benefit of learning exclusively with me using an approach designed to gain the maximum growth.

If you are new to me, we will have fun getting to know each other and learning together!

Course Curriculum
My teaching style is patient and friendly, yet always gently challenging the student to do more than they think they can. Lessons are customized to fit needs and requests for each student.

My general ESL classes for Beginner and Intermediate students follow the structure and layout from Kid-Inspired Curriculum which is a complete English language curriculum designed for English language learners. I will discuss the goals and preferences of the student and parents to determine how to best modify the lessons for your child's learning success.

Advanced students will focus additionally on discussion, reading comprehension, and writing, as well as the goals from the lower levels.
