Amanda Rujeko

Hello there. My name is Amanda and I am 34 years old. I am a professional English teacher and I specialize in teaching English as a second language. I also teach business English and English for hobbies and travel. Speaking of hobbies, I love being creative and doing things with my hands. I also love self care and doing several routines to take care of my hair, skin and nails. I started teaching online because it is an amazing way to network and know more about people from different countries and cultures. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach online and I love it when my students advance to higher levels in English. I look forward to seeing you in a lesson soon. I have a years experience teaching online. I have a 120 hour TEFL Certificate through the TEFL Professional Institute. I have also taken several online courses when it comes to learning how to teach English. To top it all off, I am currently working on my own curriculum for conversational and business English from Beginner Level to Proficient Level. I plan to continue to build my curriculum until I can eventually publish a book on how to learn English effectively. I believe that learning a new language should be fun, exciting and engaging. That is what my curriculum is all about. My teaching style is centered around my students and their needs. I always listen to what my student has to say in terms of how they want to learn. I then plan around that, but my lesson planning is always flexible and can be changed depending on my students needs, or even their needs for a season. In my classroom, we also watch videos in different accents, listen to podcasts, have commentary about current affairs and influential people, do role play, and most importantly, we focus on vocabulary a lot. I always send my students lessons in advance, so that they get an opportunity to go through the lesson and take note of what they would like clarity on when we go live. This is vey important for me and I do not compromise on that. After the lesson, I also send feedback to my students for their revision.
