My approach

☻

Personalized

Each lesson is tailored to your learner’s skill level. Student notes are kept on each student, tracking their areas of difficulty, increasing fluency rate and multiple data points.

❋

Comprehensive

From basic vocabulary and grammar to advanced conversation skills, my class options cover all aspects of English.

✦

Adaptive

While they often involve the same data backed components, no two lessons will be the same.

✿

Interactive

Language acquisition research tells us that rote memorization is not the best route to take. My ESL classes are always interactive, connecting new vocabulary to present knowledge.

    Students will explore how roots, prefixes, and suffixes come together to form meaning, making it easier to navigate challenging texts and technical vocabulary found in subjects like science, history, and more. Each of the 20 engaging units focuses on 3-4 related roots and introduces 10 new words, providing students with practical skills they can immediately apply to their reading and learning.
