TESOL certified with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and 10 years of teaching experience I like learning about language and how people develop fluency in several languages, and I like learning about different cultures as well as studying the industries and professions in which my students work. After teaching English to students from Japan, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, South Korea etc for many years, I have learned a lot about the histories and cultures of their countries, as well as the economic and business environments. It's been immensely interesting and has helped me to provide customized lessons for my students based on their specifics needs and work/life situations. The idea is to have really engaging and interesting conversations about general and career topics while I offer feedback and corrections on students' pronunciation, grammar etc. The idea is to get students talking as much as possible for the lesson while I keep the conversation going. Topics would include travel, movies, culture, food, technology etc. I try to suggest as much natural language as possible during the discussion and type corrections for the student. I also like to focus in detail on pronunciation, listening comprehension, grammar, interview preparation and IELTS speaking preparation.

Rance is an amazing teacher! Every class with him is enjoyable, and he has been incredibly helpful in reinforcing my grammar and expanding my vocabulary. I can feel my daily speaking skills improving week by week, I can't thank him enough for that. I highly recommend taking lessons with Rance - you won't be disappointed! :)

During the lesson, Rance corrected my grammatical errors and suggested appropriate words to use, but the whole conversation went like a chat between friends. Thank you, Rance, for a great lesson!

In this lesson about three places in Italy, I learned grammar points like the future tense, past tense, past perfect tense, present continuous for firm plans, first and second conditionals, and gerunds used as adjectives. Thank you!
