Ron Cortez Teacher of English as a Second Language
No reviews yet

I have a bachelors degree in English and I have been teaching the language for more than 10 years. My field of study deals with the methodologies and principles on how to teach English to non-native speakers. To supplement my knowledge, I enrolled in online courses related to language teaching.

My method of teaching is communicative. It is a learner-centered approach and emphasizes the use of English in a real world situation. As a teacher, I facilitate the learning of the student and motivate him/her to express himself/herself in English. The class involves a meaningful conversation between the teacher and the student. The teaching style may vary according to student's age, learning style, and proficiency level.

My experience has taught me on how to deal with students from different parts of the world. I can teach young and adult students from zero to upper intermediate level. I care about my students and I teach sincerely. I can say that I am an effective teacher because my previous students has improved their language skills. I had students who were preparing for English exams (IELTS and TOEFL ) and they all passed.
