Providing Global Advantages to Non-Native English Speakers
Hello! Thank you for clicking on my profile page. My name is Amelia. What sets me apart from many other language teachers is my vast amount of global business experience. I currently work as a packaging engineer for an international corporation, and a big part of what I have to do is communicate technical concepts to non-native English speakers. I have worked with people from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Together we have successfully launched hundreds of new consumer products to market.
In addition to my main career, I have been teaching English in the early mornings, evenings, and on the weekends. It is my labor of love. In September 2016, I became TEFL-certified. I have experience working as a teacher's aid and private-tutoring in my local community. I enjoy teaching online the most though, because it is so convenient and I can speak with people on the other side of the world.
I feel it is my mission to help people from different countries learn English, because once the world knows English, business transactions will go smoother and people will become better connected. English is one of the most widely used languages in the world and those who know it have major advantages.
If you sign up with me, I will do my best to help you gain these advantages. My passion is travel and I love meeting people from different countries and learning about their cultures. I also enjoy rock climbing, riding my motorcycle, dancing, and I am trying to learn German so I know how challenging a foreign language can be.
I look forward to meeting you and learning about your hobbies. I know that by teaching English, I am not only helping my students but also enriching myself by interacting with fascinating people from around the world - people like you, people who want to learn!
EDIT: Update: I have been working as a packaging engineer for Barilla - The Italian Food Company (known for their pasta in a blue box) since February 2017. The video on my profile is out-of-date.
先生の得意分野:
I really enjoy reading, correcting typos, spelling and grammatical mistakes, and I try to do so in a way that is not offensive to the author. All great writers need an editor! I have been published in a trade magazine (Packaging World, March 2018) and on certain industry-specific websites (www.iopp.org, www.greenerpackage.com).
I currently work as a packaging engineer for a global company. It is my job to develop packaging for our products so they ship safely to customers around the world. My duties include selecting appropriate materials, calculating freight costs, conducting testing, writing reports, analyzing data, creating & managing specifications, and much more. I am an expert in analytical thinking and would be happy to pass my knowledge onto you in this area.
As part of my TEFL certification class, I completed additional course work on techniques for teaching Business Professionals. Additionally, I have several years of practical experience as a business professional myself. In my current position, I have collaborated with non-native English speakers (with varying levels of fluency) from North America, Europe, and Asia. Together we have successfully brought hundreds of products to market.
I can help you expand your vocabulary both organically through conversational practice as well as through the use of textbooks, articles, PowerPoint, props, and other materials.
I have extensive experience private-tutoring an advanced learner from Czech Republic to help him reduce his accent and sound more like a native English speaker.
Proper pronunciation is key to being understood, and I emphasize its importance throughout all my lessons.
My TEFL certification course has prepared me well for teaching you how to improve both your productive (speaking and writing) language skills as well as your receptive (listening and reading) language skills.
