Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 18. May 2020
Hello! I'm a world traveller happy to call the cosmopolitan city of Toronto, Canada, home. I'm passionate about language and culture. I speak French fluently, and I have a basic knowledge of Persian.
I'm a regular hiker and runner and you'll regularly find me on Toronto's extensive network of trails.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have fifteen years of teaching experience in a wide range of contexts. I've taught ESL in Japan, Australia, and at home in Canada. I recently decided to return to my first passion, teaching, and obtained my TEFL certification from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at U of T. I also have experience helping students prepare for the IELTS and TOEFL exams.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I like to keep my teaching method practical. Everything is based on the idea that teaching is a relationship, based on mutual respect.
My classes include a lot of conversation, adapted to your interests and current level. I’m also a believer in the importance of listening exercises, reading, and writing for deepening one’s knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. For this I introduce supplementary materials like video or radio clips, articles and blogs, or I might ask you to research or report on something that interests you.
Our first lesson will start with an assessment of your level in English. Together we'll plan goals for your lessons, and I'm here to keep you on track!
great conversational lesson. Jessica was very easy to talk to and helpful correcting my mistakes.

Till today, I took 7 Conversation lessons with Jessica and I only have good comments about her! She is a wonderful teacher! She is very patient, and she pays attention to suggest conversation topics that follow my interests. She has a good balance between listening what I say and correcting my errors. I totally recommend her lessons! Thank you Jessica :)

I feel challenge every time when I learn from CBS learn English. Because I could do a listening practice too and we had discussion which related to the topic.

I've been studying with Jessica for more than a month now and I'm super happy with her lessons. I never improved my English skills so much in such short period of time. She's really attentive and corrects all the details (grammar, pronunciation, etc) that many tutors have missed. I believe she is the kind of teacher that really cares about the student. I've booked 20 lessons with her (preparation for TOEFL and speaking practice) and I've been taking 3 lessons per week. It's an intense study routine, yet Jessica is always very helpful, supportive and friendly. She prepares lots of resources (videos, exercises, readings etc), which make the classes engaging and also keeps me studying at home between the lessons. She is always on time, in a good mood and understanding about eventual lesson rescheduling. I couldn't recommend Jessica more. I've been planning to continue studying with Jessica even after my TOEFL exam, in a less intense schedule, to continue polishing my skills.

I understood video at the first time because I'm quite familiar with almost vocabularies. But when I read the transcript, it had more vocabs that I didn't understand more I think. It's time to build more vocab.

Today I answered many questions during discussion. Sometime I could not figure out vocabulary at the first place but I tried to answer as much as I could with an easy word.
