Adeline

Hi, I'm Adeline! I'm a TEFL certified teacher who loves getting to know people and helping them achieve their goal of speaking confidently in English. I'm patient and kind and I love what I do. I'm from Vancouver, B.C. Canada but currently, my husband and I, along with our two dogs live in the Dominican Republic. I'm a certified TESL teacher with over 6 years of experience teaching English at institutes and online. I focus on helping students gain confidence speaking through conversations generated through questions, picture descriptions, reading articles, all of which also help in expanding their vocabulary and comprehension skills. I also help students with their pronunciation, grammar, and areas they need help in. Lessons with me are varied, but in all of them, I ensure that there is plenty of time for conversation and to learn something new. Classes with me are relaxing yet professional, a place where students feel comfortable and safe in talking as well as asking questions. I tailor lessons to suit my students' needs and work with them on areas they need help with as we go along. It might be grammar to begin with until they have a good understanding of it before moving onto another area to help them improve. I have travelled to several countries and loved the experience. I am curious about people, cultures and traditions, and I believe in learning as much as I can. I also speak Spanish so I understand the difficulties in learning a second language. I am also a life consultant/coach so I like to have conversations about life, about people's goals and dreams and how they hope to achieve them, and about all the things that makes us human.
