My academic experience has made me a highly qualified professional teacher of English as a second language (ESL). I graduated from high school at the top of my class. I went on to graduate from the University of California at Los Angeles [UCLA] with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. Then, I acquired my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate making me a professional educator in this field. My teaching experience is extensive. I've traveled the world teaching English while embracing new culture and working with unique English dialects. I've worked as a professional and volunteer capacity tutoring and educating youth and adults. I've spent time volunteering for programs that allowed me to mentor and motivate students. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher in Southern California while pursuing a teaching credential and master's degree. My education and experience has prepared me to teach you English by challenging me to constantly seek new and innovative ways to encourage learning in and out of the classroom. I've come to appreciate my ability to think outside the box and remain flexible so that I can accommodate unique learning styles in my students. I've also learned how important it is to always be prepared yet, allow for deviation to provide opportunities to be creativity and fun! I also take advantage of new research by keeping up with trends and technology that aid in the learning process. I am seeking ambitious students dedicated to their learning. I offer an advanced conversational course that emphasizes speaking ability as well as subtle incorporation of reading, writing, and vocabulary acquisition skills.
