My name is Maria, I am from Calgary, Ab. Canada and been living here for over 30 years. Moved to California due to my marriage. Moving back and forth to Canada and U.S. did not come easy job wise, and that made me get into teaching conversational English. I have been teaching one on one and online for over 3 years. My hobbies are playing the piano, badminton and baking.
English is a universal language, that is so easy to learn. Listening to people having a good conversation of English is like music to your ears. With the new technologies that we have now, I always encourage my students to make use of all those tools out there like the social media platforms, books, and television. The way I conduct my class, I would encourage my student to introduce his/herself (to make her feel at ease) And ask her what her hobbies are. After the introduction, I would ask her to pick a topic on what to talk about. At the end of the class, I will point out or let him/her know all the corrections, the grammar, pronunciations.
In class, I make an extra effort to make it a fun and a memorable experience for the student. Its the elements of fun while learning.
