| Self introduction |
I am a 59-year-old American. My specialty is adults who need to use English at work, though I also have five students who are between the ages of 10 and 13. I can help you improve all of your English skills, including speaking to groups. My background is in law; for nearly 20 years I was a legal researcher and writer. I have read more than 5000 appellate court opinions and researched hundreds of subjects. I have a love of the English language, both spoken and written. I enjoy teaching and enjoy working and living in cultures foreign to me. I am a voracious reader, have a great deal of experience as a writer, and have taught writing as part of my general and business English classes. On my rates, at my home, or for students whose office or home is within a 15-minute walk of my home, I will work for 225 per hour. For students further than this the rate is 260 or more, depending on the distance. |
| Education background & teaching experience |
I have been teaching for six years. For over two of these years I have taught adults, with most of my classes being one-to-one. Here in Guangzhou I have been working a great deal with professionals who need to use English in their work, including lawyers, advertisers, financial analysts, and designers. Some of these classes have been with students preparing for TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, or GMAT exams. I am friendly but work hard and do well in one-to-one situations. I have also taught kindergarten, primary school, high school, and vocational college, tutored all ages privately, done corporate training, edited, and written a book on Legal English. I have been in China for a total of four years, a year and a half in 2007-8 and for the past two and a half years here in Guangzhou. |
| Teaching method & materials |
I have used a variety of Longman-Pearson texts, and some from Oxford and Cambridge University Presses. The method and material will depend on what you, the student, want. A textbook is a good idea as it provides some structure to the class. Writing is important too, even if you want to focus on speaking, as it helps you increase your vocabulary and improve your usage. |

找外教很快,服务模式不错! -----20090310大学冉老师
我09年3月份在NLT给女儿找了一个外教,外教很耐心,我女儿非常喜欢她,我们现在跟一家人一样,感谢NLT这个平台! -----20090706李先生
由于工作需要我曾花2万多报了一个外教课程,但后来大部分都浪费掉了,和外教也没真正说上几句话。后来在NLT上找了几个外教,这种形式非常好,值得推广。可自己选择外教,也不用提前一次交一大笔学费了。 -----20100302媒体刘先生
08年单位派我出国学习,自己大学时候英语底子还不错,结果考了两次雅思成绩都不理想,都是口语和写作拖了后腿,后来在千言万语找外教Jen恶补了一下口语和写作,结果雅思考了7.5分顺利过关,我现在已经在英国了。感谢千言万语! -----20100615单位员工王女士
因公司业务的需要,经常要用英文做presentation,与国外客户谈判,后来在NLT外教网上找外教Joe辅导了一段时间,英文运用能力越来越娴熟了,业绩也明显提高了,觉得非常值。 -----20101122知名企业主管
