My name is Eric Kinyon. I'm a recent graduate from Gordon college on the north shore of Boston. Over the years I have lived in various countries including Poland and China, and have been interested in language learning throughout. Currently, I am learning Mandarin and will be moving to China this year in order to teach at a private school.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have tutored numerous English learners over the years in all areas that I have lived. These were always one-on-one informal sessions that differed for each student. Some were simply focused on fluency as the learners already had a strong grasp of English, others were more formalized as I taught grammar and vocabulary that was necessary in international business meetings and documentation.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am offering two different types of classes. The first is a more involved, technical style where I teach intermediate students grammatical structures, vocabulary and syntax. This type would include formal activities such as analyzing news articles, improving listening through audio recordings and homework assignments. The second version is for students who already have a good grasp of English and simply wanted to have a guided conversation to increase their fluency and vocabulary. While homework would be available upon request, the primary focus would always remain on informal dialogue.
