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 provide On line lessons to adults and children. I have worked in Pensaris academy and Still in English School. I provide not only On line classes but also face to face ones.

I make focus on grammar points, sounds and vocabulary items. I create my own content for students and  take a wide range of books, articles, songs, Tik Tok videos as teaching resources. I model the language , give examples, ask students to apply language to every day routine and experiences and finally, ask them to solve activities. Also we can chat in class to apply the language and use key vocabulary and grammar structure. The main unit is the sentence so, it is important to build grammatical sentences. I focus on the creation of sentences.
I provide grammar activities, true / false ones and reading activities. I give students instances by which they read aloud. The reading aloud can inhance intellectual abilities.
A lesson starts by a greeting. I provide some sentences in order to elicit some grammar point. Then the explanation by modeling goes.  Students are invited to create some sentences in order to catch the point
 ( grammar and vocabulary)  There is  a feedback and  exercises

I trained as a Primary/Elementary Teacher and taught that age group for 15 years, including 5 years as a Pincipal, took a break for a few years then decided to change to teaching International Students - which I have done for the past 15 years.

Now I have moved onto Workplace Training, but I wish to remain teaching online as it is something I really enjoy.

My lessons are student led, it is all about what the student wants. If I notice something else I think you need to work on I will suggest it to you.
