Introduction:

I can help you with conversational English, listening, pronunciation and improving confidence.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Samantha and I'm a tutor from British Columbia, Canada. I have been teaching English for 2.5 years in Japan and online. My class offers a variety of ways for you to improve your English. To help you sound more like a native speaker, we will work on pronunciation, fluency, daily conversation, idioms and grammar. The new articles are also a great way to improve your reading skills, practice intonation & pronunciation, learn new vocabulary and have a discussion. Let's work at a pace that is suitable for you.

I am here to help and don’t forget to have fun, relax and enjoy the lesson! I am passionate about the English Language and I look forward to having a chat with you. Let’s learn English together and I hope to learn more about your country and teach you about mine.

Teaching Specialty:

Topics › News Articles

News Articles are a great way to improve reading, practice pronunciation & intonation, learn new vocabulary and have a discussion. I like to include Q and As in the lesson to ensure that the student understands the content of the article and provide necessary pointers when needed.

Methods & Tools › Game

Having fun helps the student retain and remember new words, phrases, spelling and much more. I teach the lessons using various games including taboo, role-play, comic strips and descriptive drawing activity. The games and activities used in class will be based on the lesson focus and student goals.

Test Prep › Eiken

I have taught Eiken to both high school and adult students. I can provide pointers and tips on the reading, listening, writing and interview section of the exam.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

Free conversation is a great way to practice what you have learnt in the past and put them to use in a conversation. My role is to provide pointers and feedback based on the students intonation, grammar and pronunciation. I would love to learn more about your culture and teach you about mine.

Everyday English › General

I am here to guide and help you speak more naturally and fluently. I include everyday conversational topics, idioms, greetings and phrases that are used on a day-to-day basis.

English Basics › Vocabulary / Useful Phrases

I am here to help you learn, retain and use newly taught vocabulary and phrases in the correct setting. At the beginning of the lesson, the student chooses a topic and I will teach the vocabulary and phrases that are used in that scenario.

English Basics › Pronunciation / Phonics

I have experience teaching pronunciation and phonic focus lessons to students of all ages and abilities. We can start from the basics, using the alphabet or focus on complex vocabulary and phonic sounds that the student struggles with. I teach using images, readings, flash cards and much more.
