Shayna: United States: Jul 16, 2018

I am an experienced, qualified, and cheerful teacher who is enthusiastic about the English language and making learning a fun and positive experience that students look forward to.
I am certified in TEFL (a 120 hour online course) as well as registered to complete a CELTA certification by the end of June, 2018. I have worked as an English teacher and tutor in Japan, Korea and America and am very experienced at adapting to life in a culture different from my own.
I am currently a student at the University of Hawaii, graduating May 12th, 2018. I work for the University with their international students teaching English conversation part time.
Many students specifically request me as a teacher and my English classes often grow quickly and are extremely popular for the schools/programs I have taught for. This is because I have seriously studied a foreign language myself and I understand exactly how hard it can be. Because of this, I create a warm, welcoming and encouraging atmosphere where students can gain confidence, have fun and feel positive about English learning.
