"I received my master’s-level TEFL certification in Florence, Italy in June of 2016, and have been teaching ESL at an intense pace ever since. I have over 350 classroom teaching hours (in Italy), and have taught all levels from beginner to advanced. My students run the gamut of ages, from age 7 to age 60. I use a number of teaching techniques and employ a combination of resources, including textbooks, video, music, and numerous conversation activities that I have culled from various sources.

My goal with each lesson is to achieve an 80/20 split between Student Talking Time and Teacher Talking Time. I emphasize comprehension over grammar, but I am well-trained in the teaching of English grammar. I aim to find what best suits your goals, learning style, and time constraints.

In addition to my TEFL certification, I posses a bachelor's in English literature from Boston College.

I would be thrilled to assist you in your goal of improving your English proficiency. I have a great deal of availability at this moment, so please contact me if you are interested in pursuing lessons." less...
