Compréhension de lecture - Tuteurs & professeurs d'anglais

My passion and life's work is teaching. I received my license to teach Spanish and English as a Second Language in 2014. Since then, I have been a Spanish teacher and just recently started a position as a Bilingual teacher. Additionally, I am working on a Master's in Bilingual Education. I have worked with a diverse group of students in my school to provide support in English and Spanish. Additionally, I have been a tutor to adult English learners at the Literacy Network in Madison, Wisconsin. I absolutely loved the experience of working one-on-one with a student, as I was able to provide a very personalized and effective lesson. I have loved the experience of using Verbling to practice my conversational Spanish. I wish to work on the opposite end, and provide this teaching experience to English learners. Due to my own journey of learning Spanish, I possess great empathy for my students, and an intuition for their learning needs. I understand and utilize effective skills for teaching language. These skills include: targeted, yet balanced correction of errors, gently pushing a student towards more complex uses of language, and consistently asking for feedback and output of language. Ultimately, I want to provide my students with the chance to develop their language skills in a non-threatening, but challenging and efficient environment. My style of teaching is inspired by real world contexts. Targeted grammar lessons are helpful and necessary. However, my students need to use language in authentic situations, such as retelling a story, asking for help, analyzing a current event, or conducting an interview. I desire fluency and confidence for my students as they grow in their abilities.

Hi. My name is Martin. I'm British and come from the south of England but I was educated in Manchester, in the north of England. You might have heard of Manchester but you may not know much about it. Aside from being the home of two world class football teams, the city is an historical hub of innovation, science and progress. The old Victorian saying, "What Manchester thinks today, the world does tomorrow." still applies today to some extent. Google 'graphene', if you're interested. I hope our classes can reflect that spirit. I aim to push your English beyond the boundaries of what you think is possible. I have lived and worked abroad: Firstly, as a property salesman in Germany and then later as an English teacher at a secondary school in Austria. I have also spent quite a long time in Japan in addition to having visited many more countries including: the USA, Hungary, Slovenia, Spain, France, Belgium, Egypt, Belarus, The Czech Republic, Malta and the Republic of Ireland. I have been teaching English online for more than 7 years to many students from all walks of life and from all over the world. Some have wanted to improve their General English and conversation, some have needed to pass an exam such as IELTS and some have required pronunciation training and/or to brush up on their Business English. Whatever your needs, I would love to help you with your English. I am a graduate of the University of Manchester, where I studied Modern Languages and Business Management (specialising in German as my main foreign language). I hold a Cambridge CELTA and am therefore qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language. Additionally, I graduated with a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status in the summer of 2018, which qualifies me to teach in British secondary schools (high schools). I look forward to meeting you very soon!

Nice to meet you and welcome to Verbling! My name is Marty, and I am an English teacher from the United States. As a teacher and learner of many languages, I want to show you how to enjoy your studies and make meaningful progress toward your goals. I want you to have fun in your lessons, and learn something new every time. *HOW TO PLAN FOR SUCCESS* THE GOLDEN RULE: YOU are the key to your success! The more effort you invest in your studies, the faster you will reach your goals. 1. Before our first lesson, think about what you want from an English class. Do you want discussion only? Do you want grammar practice? Imagine your ideal class and tell me what it is like! 2. Think about your immediate goals. Everyone's long-term goal is to become fluent in English. Tell me about your short-term goals, as well! Do you have an exam soon? Are you traveling or moving to an English-speaking country? 3. Think about your lesson plan. Do you want a lesson plan with weekly goals and homework? Do you want me to create the lesson plan? Would you like to create a lesson plan for me to follow? 4. Prepare a list of topics that interest you. Do you love music and want to discuss different genres and instruments? Let me know, and we can plan discussions that inspire and motivate you! 5. As your teacher, my mission is to help you achieve your English language goals. Your courses will be more successful if you tell me your interests, goals, and preferences for class. *** Student Guidelines: 1. Class Booking and Cancellation a.
