Emily - Know your english tutor

My name is Emily Li, and I am passionate about helping students achieve confidence and fluency in English. I hold a TESOL certification, which equips me with the skills to teach English to speakers of other languages effectively, and an RBT certificate, which allows me to create structured, supportive lessons for learners with neurodivergent needs. My teaching style is student-centered, structured, and encouraging. I focus on building a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing, while also emphasizing real-world communication skills such as speaking, listening, and pronunciation. I adapt each lesson to the learner’s goals—whether that’s passing exams, improving workplace English, or becoming more confident in everyday conversations. I use a mix of proven methods, interactive exercises, and clear step-by-step instruction to keep learning engaging and practical. My background as a multi-instrumentalist and tutor across multiple subjects also helps me bring creativity and patience into every session. If you’re an ESL student looking for a teacher who is both structured and supportive, I’d be excited to guide you on your journey toward mastering English!

English classes overview

My Methodology: I use a structured yet flexible approach that blends proven methods with engaging resources: • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): Real-world conversations for practical fluency. • Task-Based Learning (TBL): Learning by completing meaningful projects, like role-plays and writing tasks. • Total Physical Response (TPR): Using physical actions to reinforce vocabulary and grammar. • Content-Based Instruction (CBI): Teaching subjects like history, science, or culture through English. • Blended Approach: Mixing traditional instruction with digital tools, interactive practice, and multimedia. Resources I Use: For younger learners, I teach from Complete Canadian Curriculum (Grades 1–5) to build strong literacy and comprehension skills. I also incorporate Wordly Wise 3000 books to expand vocabulary and reading fluency. For older students and professionals, I include IELTS textbook readings and practice materials to prepare them for exams, academic work, and workplace English. Every lesson is student-centered, structured, and goal-driven—whether the focus is school success, exam preparation, professional English, or conversational fluency. My mission is to create a supportive environment where students not only learn English but also develop the confidence to use it independently. If you’re looking for an ESL tutor who combines clear methods, trusted curriculum, and personalized support, I’d be honored to help you achieve your language goals.
