English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

Extra information

I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).

About Me

I'm from Canada and have taught English in Vietnam and Prague since 2016 and also have many years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural and humanities subject areas and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer since 1992, with a number of published artist books. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native-English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.

Education

Bachelor of Environmental Design, Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1985
Bachelor of Architecture (Professional Degree, Equivalent to Masters), Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1989
Trinity College Cert TESOL, Level 5 Certification, Pak Chong, Thailand, 2019

Experience / Qualifications

I’ve worked mainly with adults (including high-school and university students as well as working adults); from B1 to C2 level; in groups and 1-on-1; at language centers, universities, companies, and privately; and mostly on communication/conversational English (focusing on speaking and listening skills), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. For the last 2 years, a lot of my teaching has been online, mostly using Zoom; it started as a necessity during the Covid lockdowns but now many students prefer it even if we’re in the same city, though I still enjoy teaching F2F as well.

Mathematics courses given by pre-PhD math students
Mathematics is a very important subject in the schools and even in the universities. As a math-major student, I have a good knowledge of math. I could offer courses for students preparing for exams in the schools, or possibly the math olympiads. I would also be happy to give more advanced courses for students who want to know more about modern mathematics, which might also be useful for high school or college-entrance exams.
