Fúm féin

Thosaigh mo thuras isteach sa mhúinteoireacht le mo phaisean saoil don chumarsáid agus don teanga. Ó na Stáit Aontaithe ó dhúchas agus anois ina gcónaí sa Phortaingéil, chaith mé seacht mbliana anuas ag múineadh Béarla mar theanga iasachta, ag tosú mar oibrí deonach agus anois mar ghairmí tiomanta. Beag beann ar mo threoir ranganna grúpa nó ag obair duine le duine le mic léinn, faighim áthas ollmhór as cabhrú le daoine a gcuid spriocanna teanga a bhaint amach agus iad a chumhachtú chun rathú i dtimpeallachtaí gnó agus cultúrtha nua. Le cúlra san iriseoireacht agus sa chumarsáid agus gairm bheatha éagsúil i gcaidreamh poiblí, cumarsáid ghnó, agus scríbhneoireacht, tugann mé cumas uathúil chun nascadh le mic léinn de gach leibhéal. Ag teacht ó theaghlach múinteoirí - seanmháithreacha, siblíní, neachtanna, col ceathracha agus uncailí - bhí a fhios agam gurbh í an mhúinteoireacht an chéad chéim nádúrtha eile i mo ghairm bheatha. Taithí agam ar ranganna grúpa agus mic léinn aonair a mhúineadh ag leibhéil éagsúla inniúlachta Béarla. Is breá liom a bheith ag obair le daoine ó thíortha agus ó chultúir éagsúla. Sé bliana de thaithí ag múineadh Béarla mar theanga iasachta, le Teastas TESOL. Cainteoir dúchais Béarla ó na Stáit Aontaithe ina gcónaí sa Phortaingéil. Gairm bheatha cumarsáide i gcumarsáid phoiblí, cumarsáid ghnó, scríbhneoireacht, eagarthóireacht, agus bainistíocht ábhar gréasáin. Scríbhneoir agus eagarthóir ildánach le taithí leathan i gcumarsáid chorparáideach. Céimeanna san Iriseoireacht agus sa Chumarsáid.My journey into teaching began with my lifelong passion for communication and language. Originally from the United States and now living in Portugal, I have spent the last seven years teaching English as a foreign language, beginning as a volunteer and now as a dedicated professional. Whether leading group classes or working one-on-one with students, I find immense joy in helping people achieve their language goals and empowering them to flourish in new business and cultural environments. With a background in journalism and communications and a diverse career in public relations, business communications, and writing, I bring a unique ability to connect with students of all levels. Coming from a family of teachers — grandmothers, siblings, nieces, cousins and uncles — I knew that teaching would be a natural next step in my career. Experienced in teaching group classes and individual students at various levels of English proficiency. Love working with people from different countries and cultures. Six years of experience teaching English as a foreign language, with a TESOL Certificate. Native English speaker from the United States living in Portugal. Communications career in public communications, business communications, writing, editing, and web content management. Versatile writer and editor with broad experience in corporate communications. Degrees in Journalism and Communications.

Faoi mo cheachtanna

Is é mo chur chuige maidir le Béarla a mhúineadh ná seirbhís den scoth a chur ar fáil do mhic léinn. Fiú i suíomh grúpa, bainfidh tú leas as aird aonair trí chruinnithe duine le duine chun do spriocanna agus do dhul chun cinn a phlé chomh maith le haiseolas mionsonraithe agus cóitseáil ar thascanna scríbhneoireachta. Ranganna Aonair: Roghnaigh ceachtanna aonair atá oiriúnaithe do do riachtanais in ionad ranganna grúpa (nó an dá cheann). Níl ranganna grúpa do gach duine. Ranganna beaga: Is éard atá i ranganna grúpa ná beirt go ceathrar mac léinn, rud a ligeann do níos mó aiseolais agus rannpháirtíochta. Faigheann tú aiseolas mionsonraithe ar gach gné de do fhoghlaim - comhrá, fuaimniú, gramadach agus scríbhneoireacht. Foghlaim agus Idirghníomhaíocht Piaraí: Soláthraíonn ranganna beaga de bheirt go ceathrar mac léinn níos mó deiseanna le haghaidh idirghníomhaíochta le comhscoláirí. Foghlaim le mic léinn ar do leibhéal féin. Cultúr: Nuair a fhoghlaimíonn tú teanga nua foghlaimíonn tú freisin faoi chultúr na gcainteoirí dúchais Béarla ó na Stáit Aontaithe (agus go pointe níos lú ón Ríocht Aontaithe). Foghlaim Chuimsitheach: Díríonn ceachtanna ar fhuaimniú, stór focal, gramadach agus cleachtaí scríbhneoireachta. Mar sin féin, braitheann an fócas ar spriocanna an mhic léinn aonair. Cleachtadh Saoil Réadaigh: Déanann cásanna aithris ar theanga an tsaoil réadaigh a ullmhaíonn tú do chásanna laethúla agus gairmiúla. Muinín a Thógáil: Feabhas a chur ar do Bhéarla agus muinín a fháil i do chaint in aon chás, lena n-áirítear obair agus i gcruinnithe sóisialta. Níos Lú Imní, Níos Mó Spraoi: Braithfidh tú níos compordaí agus bainfidh tú taitneamh as níos mó a fhoghlaim i ranganna beaga le mic léinn ar do leibhéal féin. Ní bheidh imní ort faoi bheith ar gcúl mar go labhraíonn roinnt mac léinn Béarla níos airde cheana féin.My approach to teaching English is to offer students boutique service. Even in a group setting, you will benefit from individualized attention through one-on-one meetings to discuss your goals and progress as well as detailed feedback and coaching on writing assignments. Individual Classes: Choose individual lessons tailored to your needs instead of group classes (or both). Group classes aren’t for everyone. Small classes: Group classes are two to four students, which allows for more feedback and participation. You receive detailed feedback on all aspects of your learning – conversation, pronunciation, grammar, and writing. Peer Learning and Interaction: Small classes of two to four students provide more opportunities for interaction with classmates. Learn with students at your level. Culture: When you learn a new language you also learn about the culture of the native English speakers from the United States (and to a lesser extent from the United Kingdom). Comprehensive Learning: Lessons focus on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and writing exercises. However, the focus depends on the individual student's goals. Real-Life Practice: Scenarios mimic real-life language which prepares you for everyday and professional situations. Confidence Building: Improve your English and gain confidence in speaking in any situation, including work and in social gatherings. Less Anxiety, More Fun: You will feel more at ease and enjoy learning more in small classes with students at your level. You don’t worry about falling behind because some students already speak more advanced English.
