Hello! My name is Irene (eye-RI-ni).
I'm from California, USA. (My time zone is GMT-7.) I've begun traveling long-term as an online worker. My TEFL certificate is from the University of Toronto. My university degree is in international relations.
I am an ESL teacher for adults, and I have taught ESL online since April 2019.
I teach:
Topic-Based Conversation Practice: intense grammar error correction, new vocabulary and expressions in context, and pronunciation tips using everyday, business English, or social topics (such as homelessness or climate change). I provide homework exercises on grammar and vocabulary for each topic.
Topic-Based English Writing allows you to develop your writing skills (vocabulary, written expressions, transitions, and structure) in a live writing lesson with a variety of topics such as health, work, plans, and your city.Job Interview Prep: Prepare for an interview by practicing your professional intro and your answers to the most common questions from hiring managers.
My Teaching Style:
-Serious, communicative style-Strict and correct with your English
-Focused on errors, natural expressions, and vocabulary growth
-Supportive of you
What to expect:
-Gain lots of knowledge of English expressions and grammar mechanics-Receive detailed, constant feedback
-High expectations

Personal Interests:
