Beecher, IL English Tutors

Description: I have taught English as a foreign language for a number of years, starting with teaching conversational English at private language schools and academic English at tertiary institutions in Bangkok., Thailand. I have taught English in Auckland, New Zealand at private language schools, and then in Tokyo, Japan for a British English school there, teaching all levels and areas of interest. I have an interest in coaching English for presentational, academic and business purposes; in Japan, helping students to make video presentations of their work and lifestyle activities. 
I am currently offering online English lessons. Although many of you might be new to taking lessons online, I can assure you that the tools available these days make it a very realistic experience, just like being face to face. Learning online also saves your time and money for travelling to lessons, and allows you to book lessons at more affordable prices.
The website I use for my lessons online is Convoconnect. On convoconnect students can use this site to view my full biography, view my live schedule, book lessons (the site will take care of all of the payments to me on your behalf), view teacher videos before booking a lesson, and you will be able to view my feedback from other students. Its a good user experience for teachers and students.
I am currently offering trial lessons for only $15 / 50 minutes.
Look forward to helping you improve your English!

Description: In the past six years, I have been fortunate enough to have taught both French and English to students of all ages in the UK, US and China. After teaching French in British secondary schools, I enjoyed the opportunity of working with younger students in Chicago. I have recently returned to the US after three years of teaching English as a second language in China.

Although I greatly enjoy being in the classroom, working on a one to one basis offers many rewards for me such as the chance to tailor lessons to meet the exact needs and expectations of students as well as see their rapid progress. I love getting to know students and bringing their interests into our lessons.

My most recent experience in China led me to teach English to students ages 3 through 18. During this time I planned and taught exciting lessons that focused on developing all language skills. Variety as well as student engagement are very important to me and that is reflected in my lessons that incorporate games, grammar exercises, reading or writing focused activities and a lot of communication practice. I hold a TEFL certificate.

When I was five years old, my family moved to France from the UK. I underwent my entire education from primary to university there. Because of this, not only am I now bilingual but I also have a deep and personal love of French culture. My teaching qualifications center around teaching modern foreign languages, in particular French.

Languages have really opened up the world for me and I have enjoyed so many incredible experiences thanks to them. I hope I can help you do the same!      << View Less

Description: Do you, or your student, need help with written or spoken communication? Or would it help to have a concept communicated in a different way? I'm a Lifelong Learner. I'd like to help you, or your student, develop a love of learning, as well! My specific areas of expertise involve communication and language arts. However, I've also tutored history and math, as well. A bit of background may be in order. I graduated with honors from Idaho Falls High School and took home several awards in the Debate program. Then I graduated from the University of Idaho in Telecommunications and a minor in Music. Now I am enrolled in the Advanced Writing program with AWAI (American Writers & Artists, Inc.). Since graduating from the UofI, I've been involved in radio, concerts, seminars, and advertising.      << View Less
