Miss Erin Hardy

Hi there! I'm Miss Erin, your English tutor. I'm 42 and originally from Melrose, Massachusetts, USA. For the past eight years, I've been living in Egypt, teaching kids aged 3 to 11 in international schools. I'm certified with TEFL, which means I'm trained to teach English really well! Outside of teaching, I love animals and often rescue sick or injured ones. Dog training is a hobby of mine—I just love seeing dogs learn new tricks! I'm also really interested in AI, which is all about computers being super smart. Even though I've been in Egypt for a while, I'm still learning Arabic. But don't worry, I'll do my best to help you with English! Let's learn and have fun together! Experience: - Teaching All Ages: I've taught students of all ages, from kindergarten to Year 3. - All Core Subjects: I cover everything from English to math, science, and social studies. - Speaking and Listening Specialist: I'm really good at helping students speak and listen better. - Passion for Success: I want my students to do well in life and get great jobs. That's why I'm passionate about making them feel confident in their English skills. - Getting Ready for Anything: I make sure my students are prepared for any situation where they might need to use English. Teaching Style: - Encouraging and Positive: I always cheer on my students and celebrate their successes, so they feel confident to try new things without worrying about getting things wrong. - Learning for Life: I want my students to remember what they learn forever, not just for a test. So, instead of reading lots of books, we focus on understanding and remembering what's important. - Fun and Exciting Lessons: My classes are like a fun adventure! I use games and activities to make learning English enjoyable and interesting. - Keeping Up with Technology: I make sure my students know about the latest technology, so they're not left behind. We explore new gadgets and apps to stay up-to-date.
