BA in English Communications, TESOL Certification
In the past decade, I've explored the world of English teaching through various lenses. Starting in local schools, moving on to ESL programs abroad, and finally transitioning to online teaching in recent years, my exposure to students from different walks of life has been vast. From helping students crack international English exams to assisting local communities in understanding basic English for everyday use, my journey has been varied and rich in learning experiences.
I believe in the mantra, "Learn by doing." In my classes, you won't just hear about how the language works; you'll be actively using it. We'll engage with real-world content, from news articles to popular music. Each lesson is designed with a practical task in mind, be it ordering food at a restaurant, making a presentation at work, or just chatting with friends. This task-based approach ensures that students not only learn English but are also able to use it confidently in real-world situations.
Anna gives you straight, honest comments and the work you need to do. I learned that chitchatting is not her thing. Our lessons were mostly about the work and the test. Working with her is a great idea if you care about getting results. She shows you the way, and you get better faster than if you worked on your skills by yourself. When it comes to my TOEFL score, I'm very happy. My goal was 83, and I got 108.
The lessons are great, and Anna is patient. I just wish we had more grammar-focused sessions.
Anna helped my daughter overcome her fear of speaking English. Her task-based approach made a huge difference. Now, my daughter can't stop chatting in English!
