Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Kristen.
I have over 20 years of teaching experience and excel at teaching online! I'm TEFL and TESOL certified and love teaching English to adults and children to help them succeed in their learning goals. I'm also a published author of 21 children' books.
My educational background entails teaching English to adults when I worked as a HR manager for a leading global hotel company. I have also taught students of grades preK-12 from around the world online and in the public school sector.
In addition, I specialize in reading programs in public libraries in the US for all ages with my published children's books catering to themes of kindness. Lastly, I also teach adults how to publish their own children's books. I have also traveled extensively around the world and love learning about different cultures.
What can you expect from my lessons?I'm a very patient, kind, and flexible tutor. I will accommodate the type of structured class delivery you prefer or just talk freely if you like.- Learn American Business Etiquette and Email Communication Skills
- Learn American Sayings and Quotes
- Read and Reflect l about Famous Quotes by Artists.
- Learn American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs
- Pronunciation Exercises
- Conversation about Different Subjects
- Since each student has a different goal, I can modify the lesson to further your goal! If you want to become more proficient with your English for reasons such as travel, work, personal progress, or assist your children with their English homework. I will customize your lesson to provide the skills necessary to reach your goal!
When, I'm not working, I love sailing, biking, riding horses on my farm, hiking in nature, visting art museums, and reading. Most of all, I adore spending time in San Francisco where I can enjoy all types of cultures and cuisines. I enjoy visiting Japantown and collect "Lucky Cats" and Asian caligraphy horse and cat paintings. I love everything about the ocean and recently published a children's book about helping our oceans and seas.
Lastly, I studied in Valencia, Spain when I was learning Spanish. Therefore, I know what it is like to learn another language. I'm currently taking Japanese so I can better understand my students on here too. I'm an energetic teacher and have a very kind, gentle, and patient teaching style and manner.
I look forward to helping you become a confident speaker! :)
Kristen
