Angel
Interests: For the last 3 years I have worked with an online platform This program is conversational based. One of the most difficult things for an ESL student is the inability to express their thoughts and opinions. In saying this, I challenge the students with our conversations. Asking questions that require deep thoughts.Helping with pronunciation and grammar along the way.
Working online I have students from all over the world , all with unique accents. One of my main focuses is to help the student with pronunciation. I have familiarized myself with each country's problematic pronunciation issues.In doing this I can help students reach their goals. Each student has their specific goal whether it is for a speaking test such as the IELTS or equivalent , for work or just for themselves.
ESL students, while reading, focus on the written word and pronunciation so they lose the comprehensive ability of what they read. When in America, I worked on a comprehensive reading program for ESL students that I now use these skills with my students online.
I also have written training syllabuses for companies who are encouraging their employees to learn English speaking skills that pertain to their position/jobs. Each syllabus is focused on the specific needs and each step of the syllabus focuses on the week's goal the student is to achieve.Usually 10 - 12 weeks syllabus with review of the previous week's lesson.before the new week’s lesson begins.
Along with this I have written articles for websites as a ghost writer, and helped students with essays.
Teaching is a wonderful passion for me and to see a student “shine” when they accomplish something gives you a feeling of satisfaction like no other. Having fun and patience . You are part of their educational path in life. Being someone's mentor and becoming a friend along their journey.
