Introduction:
Let's practice English without stress!
Hello, my name is Joey and I'm from Dayton, Ohio, USA. I am an English teacher with CELTA teaching qualification and am currently finishing up my MA TESOL at the University of Brighton in the United Kingdom. My students are generally adults of all levels and my lessons are made with your individual needs, goals, and interests in mind. Usual focuses in my lessons are general, conversational, or business English but I also work with test preparation such as IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, and corporate tests such as GBC (by Berlitz) and GCAS (by Eiken).
I have over 9 years' teaching experience in several different countries: 4 years in Russia, 1 year in the country of Georgia, 1 year in Germany, and 1 year in the United Kingdom. I've also been giving online lessons on SkimaTalk since 2014.
I greatly enjoy teaching and speaking with people from different countries and cultures. Helping students achieve their goals and having great relationships along the way are my main motivations in teaching English. I look forward to meeting you!
Teaching Specialty:
If you need to take the Global Business Communication test (GBC) by Berlitz, I have three years of experience in preparing people for it and have a wide range of resources. I also have two years preparing professionals for taking the GCAS by Eiken.
We'll use extracts from popular TOEIC preparation books to practice response strategy, review and practice grammar and vocabulary, as well as work on practice test questions.
English for all of your work-related needs. I have variety of resources for us to use based on your what you'd like to improve upon.
