All About English with Amy

“Hello! My name is Amy and I am a native English Speaker from the United States. I have officially been teaching English as a Second Language since 2017, both online and in person, but I have been “unofficially” teaching English to speakers of other languages during the years I studied at the University I attended. I’ve taught on many different online platforms, so I would say that I have easily taught well over 10,000 classes!

I have earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business, with a minor in Psychology, as well as a certification in Legal Assistant Studies. Later, I decided to pursue my love of teaching and I earned the 120 hour advanced TEFL Certification. My experience ranges from my prior career in Human Resource Management, to my second, and current career as an ESL teacher, which encompasses public school substitute teacher, private language school ESL teacher for adults and online private and group ESL teacher.

I’ve taught both children and adults, private and group lessons, on site and online. I believe learning should be fun and should include a lot of laughter. TPR, facial expressions, body language, a lot of conversation and pronunciation practice, as well as reading, props and word games, are all used to aid in learning. I can tell when a student isn't feeling comfortable, and I will work hard to change that, because I don't think learning truly begins until people feel relaxed and know that they aren't being judged. Mistakes are OK! Actually, they are part of the learning process! I look forward to seeing you in my virtual classroom soon!”
