I have been teaching young learners English in China for the past year and a half. During this time I have mastered the curriculum at my company and learned to make lessons that are unique and fun for children. I try to make lessons that encorporate previously learned material while teaching new material, and whenever possible get the students to act out the language in fun, playful ways. I have found physically performing material makes the lessons more relevant and memorable for the students.

I have a fun and inviting personality. I enjoy working with kids and I make sure to plan lessons that are fun. I'm also very interested in my students. I make a point to learn their favorite colors, it's interesting to me and it gives them an opportunity to show the class something unique about themselves. I can also be strict when necessary. The discipline of each student is important for their own success as well as group cohesion. I am also constantly examining my own performance to see what I can do better: how I can learn from my experiences and make better and different lessons.

I have been planning ninety minute lessons independently. I'm good at understanding learning goals and evaluating students progress. I'm good with grammar as well the intricacies of spelling English words. I'm also quite a good representative of myself and my company around parents. I perform demonstration classes for prospective students and their parents, during which I will answer questions about myself and my company.
