An active verb describes something that the subject of the sentence/phrase physically does.
Example: He plays with his toys. ("plays" is the active verb)

If the verb can be replaced by is/are/am/was/were, then it is NOT an active verb.
Example: She feels happy today. -> She is happy today. ("feels" is not an active verb)

I'm a San Diego State graduate with a degree in International Business. I love to travel and am working towards teaching English abroad. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese, so if you are looking to learn basics or improve your proficiency, I'm here to help! I've worked with kids (young children to teenagers) but would love to work with people of all ages!

I just received my TEFL certificate this September of 2023. Throughout high school and college, I've helped revise students' papers by correcting grammar and word choice. I've also volunteered after school and tutored younger kids with English homework.

I was an assistant teacher at Van Lang Center, a Vietnamese language school for kids in the US, from 2018 to 2022. I helped facilitate an attentive learning environment through engaging activities about the language, culture, and history. I've taught classes of different age groups ranging from elementary to high schoolers.

I like to have structured lessons but also like to tailor them to students' needs. I am more conversational than lecturing and like to engage with students, encouraging a lot of student talking time. I consider myself a good listener and am very open-minded.

What I can help with:
* Learn basic vocabulary and everyday phrases
* Improve fluency, pronunciation, grammar
* Review/revise writing

I am certified to teach English by Cambridge and have had the pleasure of teaching English online for the past few months.

My lessons are speaking-based and will help you build your spoken fluency and conversational skills. Of course, we will also do listening and reading exercises. My lessons are particularly useful to those learning English for travel purposes or to talk to others.

I am a TEFL certified with 1-year experience. I have thought English to friends and colleges in the army. Yep, you heard it rite in the army I thought friends that wanted to learn English as a second language or needed it for work. L.

My way of teaching is what you can call a fun and creative way. I like to reach out to my students and meet them in the middle and make my lessons interesting and fun. Learning is not always about being serious and focused but also being able to have fun and enjoy the moment while learning. I like to work on areas that my students have the most difficulty in cause as they say once you can conquer your fears you can then take anything else down. Keeping my students motivated is my #1 goal the same way that I expect them to learn from me is the same way i can learn things from them as well.
