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.

-Supportive of you 

What to expect: 
-Gain lots of knowledge of English expressions and grammar mechanics
-Receive detailed, constant feedback 
-High expectations
