I provide employees and family members of global corporations with customized English language training. Training is available in the home or office, and is scheduled according to the student's availability. I use personalized, student-directed instruction with an approach that accommodates a variety of learning styles and instructional techniques and focuses on building speaking proficiency. Training for school-aged children is fun and interactive. I draw on each child's own interests and give him/her the opportunity to speak, hear, and interact. I use illustrated books, music, crafts and games to stimulate discussion, vocabulary development, reading skills, sound awareness and letter-sound relationships.With regular instruction, my students are able to:Identify and reproduce sounds Satisfy the requirements of very basic communicative exchanges by asking questions and making statements Understand words and high-frequency phrases in situations encountered in everyday lifeProduce words and some phrases with correct stress, rhythm and intonationDevelop speaking and listening skills sufficient to satisfy minimum courtesy requirements and maintain a limited number of simple, face-to-face conversations on familiar topics
