Experience
Additional qualifications: CELTA certification (Cambridge Certificate for Teaching English Language to Adults) Three years of teaching middle school ESL in Korea Additional teaching experience with advanced high school English My academic experience has resulted in strong writing skills, and I am happy to work with students to likewise strengthen their academic writing style. My background in linguistics means that I can truthfully answer those unanswerable questions such as "why are these silent letters still included in the spelling?" and "why are these words pronounced like this?" and "why does this grammar structure work in English?". My multicultural experience helps me connect to students of varying backgrounds. I also make sure to keep all content lively and relatable. I believe that students learn best with a low-pressure, anxiety-free environment.
