My name is Jacqueline and I'm just as excited as you are to get started. If you are looking for a traditional way of learning or perfecting English i.e. long (boring )readings, grammar police tactics and monotonous repetition of phrases and words you'll probably never use again in life then you're in the wrong place. However, if you're perhaps interested in thinking a bit outside of the box, learning in a fresh and exciting way and having a few chuckles here and there then I am the teacher for you!
I'm sure you're interested in my academic background so I'm happy to share. I have obtained a degree in Communications from the Fashion Institute of Technology. I studied TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages ) and obtained my certificate from the Canadian Institute of English. I've studied 40 methods ensuring my ability to assist others as they tackle the task of comprehensively speaking, reading and writing the English language. I'm really interested in helping others to do the best that they can PERSONALLY do when it comes to conversational English. We all have different learning styles and different needs. I promise to always do my best to ensure that you have the best lesson plans. Ones that accommodate you and your specific interests. So what are you waiting for? Shoot me a message so we can get started!
My qualifications to teach public speaking include a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Communications which included several public speaking and presentation classes. I was enrolled in a public speaking school when I was six years old and have gone on to give presentations in front of audiences in multiple languages with ease thanks to my formative training. I understand and have the ability to share with individuals what it takes to make any oral presentation successful.
I studied TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages ) and obtained my certificate from the Canadian Institute of English. I've studied 40 methods ensuring my ability to assist others as they tackle the task of comprehensively speaking, reading and writing the English language. I bring a unique approach I'm sure all my students will find refreshing.
My degree in Communications called for an extensive English curriculum. This included an English Literature course and a Language Arts course. Before attending University I was enrolled in English Honor classes for three years, Advanced Placement English for my final year of High School and was allowed to take English College classes before my official enrollment as an undergraduate . I also received high marks on my college entry exams.
Learning to speak English is more than just memorizing a bunch of rules. It's about finding the rhythm of the language and interacting with others in the language on a regular basis. In my tutoring sessions I will use my experience in Advanced TESOL methods to ensure that you receive hands on experience conversing in the English language and learning how to express yourself comfortably in different scenarios.
While obtaining my degree in Communications I have had the opportunity to benefit from several writing courses. This included: Creative Writing, Writing for Business and Poetry. I am sure my extensive background as well as my training as a teacher will give me the tools I need to ensure that each of my students become proficient in their writing skills.
