I have experience in the field of teaching, not only ESL, but also music. My favourite style of teaching is to determine the student's' needs and requirements, and to then cater lessons specifically suited for the student. I enjoy conversational lessons, but also attend to diction and pronunciation matters, as well as comprehension, reading, writing and grammatical correctness, while constantly striving to build and broaden the student's vocabulary. I have been teaching online now for almost two years, and before at a secondary (Highschool) in Thailand. I have over thirty years of experience in the field of teaching and education. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music, as well as a TEFL certificate to During my lessons, I try to determine the student's interests and requirements of the lessons asap, so that I can focus on aspects that I feel they need to improve on. I enjoy letting the student talk a lot and use their everyday living experiences often to base learning material on. I like to try and treat each student on their own merit and take into consideration the type of personality they are so that they can feel comfortable in my class. I try to keep the lessons lighthearted and as much fun as possible, but still concentrate to get the necessary work done and to achieve progress.
