I have been teaching English at different schools and different levels for many years. I started off teaching kindergarden and elementary school for a few years, then moved on, first to high school a... nd then to secondary school. I can say that I enjoyed teaching teenagers the most, whether they were 12 or 19, we had so much fun. After 15 years of teaching those grades I was invited to join the English Department at the state university where I live, and that is where I retired from. We were continously taking new courses to keep us up to date in all the new methods and uses of technology in English language teaching. I also have trained in IELTS, TOEFL and TOEFL IBT prepaparation for students.read more

I am enthusiastic, driven and approachable with a wide range of interests, among which I count languages. Having been both a student and now a teacher, I believe that the key requirement in our work i... s the ability to instill in students an interest and curiosity in the language. As part of my last employment with the Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi, I taught adults at all levels ranging from elementary to advanced. have encountered students from a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. My work at present is online-based with an emphasis on the communicative approach. I make use of numerous activities and aids to engage, stimulate and motivate students. I have taught English to a wide range of students for a variety of purposes, from those focusing on exam preparation to pupils seeking to develop their skills for more social reasons. Having tutored police personnel, university lecturers, medical experts and bank officials, all levels of university students, as well as fellow teachers, I have sufficient knowledge and experience to help business professionals to achieve their desired goals, while designing course material to suit their requirements. I prefer to focus on the ‘communicative’ method of teaching, facilitating an improvement in the student’s language production (both written and spoken) ability covering numerous subject areas. I particularly enjoy communicating with my students and I am equally comfortable teaching individuals or groups and call it crazy but I do not act or look as old as I am.read more
