Betty - Know your english tutor
Hi! I'm Betty, an ESL teacher who believes learning English should feel less like a lecture and more like a conversation. Whether I'm coaching professionals to communicate confidently in meetings or helping kids discover the magic of storytelling, my approach is the same: keep it engaging, personalized, and I dare to say fun. With a background in psychology and certifications in TEFL and Business English, I blend structured teaching with real-world relevance. From boardrooms to virtual classrooms, I adapt to make English click. Currently pursuing my Master's in TEFL, because great teaching never stops evolving. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me hiking, lifting weights, or hunting for the best local food. Think interactive activities, tailored feedback, and yes, the occasional meme or GIF when the grammar calls for it. Let's turn language goals into wins, one lesson at a time.
Betty graduated from University of Ghana
English classes overview
I make English click by blending proven methods with genuine connection. For professionals, we simulate real workplace scenarios - think crafting emails that get replies or practicing presentations that land. With kids, we learn through stories, games, and movement. Yes, sometimes we act out verb tenses in class. Every lesson balances structure with spontaneity. We might analyze a pop song's lyrics one day, then roleplay restaurant ordering the next. And yes, every lesson's different because every student's different. I focus on what you'll use, not just textbook-perfect grammar. Mistakes? Celebrated - they're proof we're stretching our skills. Whether through tailored feedback, interactive exercises, or the occasional meme that perfectly explains the present perfect tense, I adapt to how you learn best. Currently enhancing these methods through my Masters in TEFL.
