Your understanding is greatly appreciated. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ FIRST Initiate a Contact Request before anything else. My loyal students occasionally tweak their schedules on short notice, and their preferences take priority. I kindly request a focus on teaching Adults, respecting the unique dynamics of adult language learners. For those eager to secure a permanent, specific time on my online days, feel free to reach out. We can coordinate schedules accordingly. Hello! I'm Kaye, your dedicated ESL tutor. Specializing in conversational English, I help diverse individuals enhance their language skills. With teaching experience in China, Costa Rica, Georgia, and Germany, I work with students from Japan, Poland, Europe, and France. Let's embark on a journey to master English conversation. I have taught in China, Costa Rica, Republic of Georgia and Germany. Students ranges from Japanese, Polish, Europeans and French. Two certifications: TESOL 2009 & TEFL 2010. I continue to teach online with Polish students and on occasion, meeting 1-to-1 German students. Conversational fluency is a key focus. I believe that the more one speaks, the more confident and proficient they become. To achieve this, I incorporate interactive activities, role plays, and discussions into lessons. These not only enhance language skills but also provide a platform for cultural exchange, building a holistic language learning experience. Idiomatic expressions and collocations are introduced naturally, aiding in the understanding of nuanced language use. I integrate multimedia resources, leveraging visual aids, audio materials, and relevant content from different English-speaking regions to expose students to varied accents and cultural nuances. Regular feedback is provided to track progress and identify areas for improvement. Constructive criticism is balanced with positive reinforcement to maintain motivation and boost confidence. Flexibility is inherent in my teaching method, adapting to the evolving needs and goals of students.
