我对沟通和语言的热爱,源于我毕生的热情,也由此开启了我的教学生涯。我来自美国,现居葡萄牙。过去七年,我一直从事英语作为外语的教学工作,最初是志愿者,如今已成为一名专业的英语教师。
无论是带领小组课程还是进行一对一辅导,我都能从帮助学生实现语言目标、增强他们在新的商业和文化环境中取得成功的能力中获得极大的快乐。
我拥有新闻和传播学的背景,并在公共关系、商务沟通和写作领域积累了丰富的经验,这使我能够与各个水平的学生建立联系。我的家族中有很多教师——祖母、兄弟姐妹、侄女、表兄弟姐妹和叔叔——因此,我知道教书育人是我职业生涯中自然而然的选择。
我拥有丰富的英语教学经验,能够教授不同英语水平的小组课程和一对一辅导。我热爱与来自不同国家和文化背景的人们一起工作。
我拥有六年英语作为外语的教学经验,并持有TESOL证书。我是来自美国的英语母语者,现居葡萄牙。
拥有公共传播、商务传播、写作、编辑和网站内容管理方面的职业经验。多才多艺的撰稿人和编辑,在企业传播领域拥有丰富的经验。
拥有新闻学和传播学学位。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.

关于我的课程
已翻译
我的英语教学理念是为学生提供精品式服务。即使是小组课,您也能通过一对一辅导获得个性化的关注,讨论您的学习目标和进度,并获得写作作业的详细反馈和指导。
一对一课程:您可以选择根据您的需求量身定制的一对一课程,而不是小组课(或者两者兼选)。小组课并非适合所有人。
小班授课:小组课通常由两到四名学生组成,这样可以获得更多的反馈和参与机会。您将获得关于学习各个方面的详细反馈——包括会话、发音、语法和写作。
同伴学习与互动:两到四名学生的小班授课提供了更多与同学互动的机会。您可以与水平相近的学生一起学习。
文化:学习一门新语言的同时,您也能了解美国(以及英国,但程度稍轻)以英语为母语的文化。
综合学习:课程侧重于发音、词汇、语法和写作练习。但具体侧重点会根据每位学生的学习目标而定。
真实情境练习:模拟真实生活场景,帮助您应对日常和职场场合。
增强自信:提升英语水平,增强在任何场合(包括工作和社交聚会)的口语表达能力。
减少焦虑,享受学习乐趣:小班授课,与水平相近的同学一起学习,让您倍感轻松愉悦。即使有些同学英语水平更高,您也不用担心跟不上进度。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.
