Jodie O'Brien

My role is to be a facilitator and coach for students. As an agent of feedback, I will be a credible authority on language matters therefore allowing students to excel and be confident English language speakers. Through creativity, patience, and a willingness to be a better teacher I will gain trust and excellent results from my students. The dedication to students and education is what sets me apart as a tutor and language coach. I have taught over a 1000 lessons! I currently tutor young learners from age 5 and adults as old as 60 years old. I have a 180 hours TEFL certificate. Verify here (https://bridge.edu/tefl/certificate-services) by entering my certificate number: 00146736 o I like to focus on a communicative style; conversations and discussions become more meaningful as ideas are exchanged rather than just given by the teacher. I will facilitate a fun and engaging session as you grow in confidence! I have discovered how to develop as I learn about my students' own learning styles and abilities. Also, to be pragmatic and proactive, keep my students focused in a calm guiding way, as they develop their understanding and eventually learn to self-manage.
