Me as a Teacher
Why choose me as your English teacher?
- I am a TESL-certified teacher with over 18,000 hours of teaching experience.
- My students are very satisfied. I have an excellent ratio of 10 lessons per student (3000 lessons for 300 students).
Why choose me as your interview coach?
- I interviewed, hired, and managed software developers for 10 years. As a trained interviewer, I know the purpose of technical and behavioral questions. I can help you present yourself well.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are customized to the student. We review the concept or skill, then we practice.
I suggest that students get a copy of "English Grammar in Use with answers" by Murphy. When we need to discuss a grammar point, we can refer to the same page and quickly review the examples. Later, you can do the exercises and check your answers against the answers in the back of the book.
