About
Hi everyone, I'm Zane, originally from the United States and currently living in Thailand. I've been teaching for 6 years now, starting off with tutoring calculus and giving guitar lessons while I was... a university student, and then moving on to teaching ESL, when I accidentally got stuck in Asia in 2020 when the world shut down...Long story..... Now I live here! Thailand has been an amazing place to "get stuck" and I fell in love with its vibrant culture and the welcoming nature of its people. My travels throughout the country have led me to discover stunning destinations and find out more about myself... Anyways....
My love for math and problem-solving and my ability to do well on tests led me to start tutoring calculus, which I found to be both challenging and rewarding. It was a work study that my college offered me to do as I was very good math student. I scored a 780 on the math section of the SATs, demonstrating my proficiency in math.
In terms of qualifications, I have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and a TEFL certification, which have given me a solid foundation in language teaching and learning. My motto is to learn something new every single day. If we learn just 1 thing each day, we continue to grow. If we learn more than 1 thing each day then we grow faster and then we can afford to forget things from time to time....
Despite my experience and qualifications, I believe that learning should be a fun and enjoyable process, and I strive to create a relaxed and supportive environment for my students. If you're looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about teaching, I'd be happy to work with you.read more
