About Me
italki teacher since Jan 31, 2019Me as a Teacher
I have worked as a teacher for the past three years while developing my teaching skills through the completion of an MATESOL and enrolling in a doctoral degree in curriculum design and instruction. I have enjoyed working with a variety of ages, from children to adults. In addition to my master's degree, I also hold a teaching license from the state of Massachusetts (Grades 5-12) and have worked with the board of education in Japan for the past year. My top priority as an instructor is to see you grow, developing the skills you need to achieve your success. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are generally geared towards those that have some base of the English language, exploring hobbies, improving writing, and speaking skills. We will cover communication, vocabulary, writing, reading, and speaking skills necessary to help you succeed with time and study. As an online teacher, I strive to help my students to the best of my ability and will work on the topics that you would like to cover. For new students, the first session will give me a gauge of your English abilities, and I will structure classes tailored to help you become better at English, covering what goals and reasons you have for furthering your education. Most resources will be found free from the web.My teaching material

Brandon is a great teacher. Lessons are always interesting and contain a lot of language practice. I've improved my conversational language skills a lot during 30 lessons with him.
