Hello, my name is Teacher Cori! I am a native English speaker from Canada with a neutral North American accent and almost 5 years experience teaching ESL online. I have TEFL certification as well as ... an online teaching certificate from Johns Hopkins University and a Bachelor's Degree. I am passionate about teaching English to students from other cultures and take great pride and delight in helping students achieve success in their journey to fluency in English. My teaching philosophy is that classes should be fun and stress free. If classes are enjoyable the ability to learn and retain information is optimized and students are more likely to continue to work to improve their English skills. It is important that the student develops confidence in communicating in the English language. As confidence builds proficiency improves. The main objective is to improve the English capabilities of the student by expanding vocabulary, practicing grammar, learning slang expressions, and achieving an understandable accent. My goal is always to tailor classes to the needs of the individual student to ensure the best results.read more
