ESL Classes Emphasizing Speaking, Writing & Cultural Understanding at Columbia University

I teach English with a clear, step-by-step approach that helps students feel confident and supported. I have experience teaching learners of all ages, from children to adults, and at all levels—from beginners to advanced. My lessons focus on key language skills including speaking, writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary building. I also help students with grammar, pronunciation, and academic or business English. I always try to connect lessons to real-life topics so that students can use what they learn outside the classroom. I use simple explanations, examples, and guided practice to make things easy to understand. I adapt each lesson based on the student’s pace, goals, and learning style. For online classes, I use tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and shared documents to make lessons interactive. I often include visuals, writing prompts, and short speaking tasks to keep students engaged. My goal is to build a positive learning environment where students are not afraid to ask questions or make mistakes. I believe that with the right support, anyone can improve their English and enjoy the learning process.
