Online CPE test preparation courses - 205 teachers found - Only native teachers

For the past 20 years I have worked with children in various professional capacities, from social workers, child advocates, therapists,... educational toy store owners, and teachers. Since I moved to Europe 6 years ago, I have dedicated myself to teaching non-native students the basics of English in a fun and creative way. Although I have been teaching English in the classroom and privately in Spain and Italy, for the past 4 years I have also been teaching English to Chinese students online for the largest online teaching company in China. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I grew up speaking English and Spanish at home and at school. I earned my BA in Psychology and MA in Clinical Child Development in Boston, Massachusetts, USA Years later I earned a Masters in International Business in London, England, UK. I have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. The curriculum, designed for children ages 4 to 12, is divided into five levels, from beginning students to more advanced, using a topic-based approach. The topic-based approach is a form of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected and integrated within a topic. Each lesson is organized by topics that are of interest to children. Children learn vocabulary words and simple phrases related to concepts around them, such as family, seasons and weather, clothing, school, and more. At Level 1, children are exposed to familiar concepts such as colors, numbers, shapes, emotions, and parts of the face. As children progress through the curriculum, they expand their knowledge of English from food, clothing, and daily routines to wild animals, vehicles, habitats, sports, and even outer space. In each lesson, children will learn new vocabulary, sentence patterns, grammar, practice their reading and reading comprehension, spelling, and develop their listening and speaking skills. I also use the Reach Higher, Oxford Reading Tree, Starlight, RAZ , and Wonders curriculums. Resources provided. Read more

'3 Cheers, For Radar Ears' Hi there! I am a language artist! English is the language I paint with. Why do I paint? Since using language for... everyday things involves imagery, most of all in speech, for native speakers of English, OR ANY language:- The simile: your ears are as Big as an Elephant's! (No, really?!); The metaphor: the fog lay down on the hill as still as a ghostly, skulking wolf (Spooky, huh?) I have been teaching English, and French, for over 25 years. I enjoy it so much, as I have a very strong desire to spark the imaginations of the students I teach. Language learning should always be a lot of fun- it IS a lot of fun, EVEN if you have a test to do, there's always a game, a quiz, a puzzle or a piece of artistic writing that can be tried, to make it LESS of a task, and MORE of a fun challenge. How about writing a song? A rap? A poem? A story? A cartoon? Make a video, a film? A podcast? Does anyone tell you it can’t be done? If they do, they’re CRAZY. I always spend time encouraging students, helping them to realize, we can achieve a lot, if we DON'T WORRY. So, students can gain a lot of confidence with this good feeling. I am a writer, writing poetry, short story and I am writing a Young Adult Fantasy novel. That's why language is so interesting for me, and I love imparting that love of language to my students. I have been a tutor of English AND French, for 13 years. I visit the students' homes, normally, here in Scotland, but have started to use Zoom to do online tutorials, due, of course, to the recent Public Health Emergency, the pandemic, around the whole world. We need NOT be afraid of this. It WILL pass. In classrooms, I had the wonderful luxury of a Smartboard, or sometimes a Promethean board- electronic, interactive, online and magical classroom teaching and learning, via an electronic Smart Pen. How much fun was that? A LOT. Kids could come out and TEACH the class, when their groups had decided HOW best to learn the language we were engaged with- that was one fun way of learning. So, I might be older, but new technology fascinates me, as I know it will make LEARNING EASIER. Who wants to bust their guts learning grammar?? I know I hated learning often by ROTE, in French. It can help, sometimes, just to learn things off by heart, but there are too many other ways to learn, to ignore them. I will use Powerpoints, Microsoft Word Documents, Excel spreadsheets (you never know!) Internet links, video, Podcast links, newspaper articles, news flashes or news podcasts/ videos, recorded pieces of audio, interactive whiteboards (Zoom has these), PEOPLE LIVE on video, speaking English, anything, at all, to make learning English language STICK in your minds like GLUE. Why '3 Cheers, For Radar Ears'?! Listening very carefully to speech, in any language, will REALLY help you to speak that language well. I would get friends in Hong Kong (1998-2006), as well as Chinese teachers and students, to repeat things in Cantonese, again and again, to LISTEN to exactly how they said words, then I would repeat and repeat. Cantonese is the hardest language I ever learned- I can't write Chinese, or read it very well. I CAN speak quite well, in the language of Guangdong (English : Canton) and Hong Kong. I have, obviously, fluent French: On ne peut pas enseigner le francais, sauf si l'on en parle courrament. I have some basic Mandarin. I have some German and Spanish, some of my wife's language, Tagalog (Filipino)- I just need to go live there, to pick it up better. How did I do it? : 3 Cheers, For Radar Ears! So, if I have learned how to speak, read and write in other languages, guess what? I know the KNACK, the ways that help you do it. Just let me show you. I swear it will be good fun :) Read more

Hello student(s): My name is Michelle, and I am an experienced and certified ESL/EFL + English teacher. I have been teaching the English... language to people from around the world as well as to students living in English-speaking countries for over 20 years. I have an Honors BA degree in Comparative Literary Theory from the University of Western, Ontario, Canada. I am also TKT and CELTA certified from Cambridge University. My teaching methods are straightforward: I ask the student(s) what he/she/they need in order of priority, and do my utmost to deliver. I don't beat around the bush because I know students are frequently pressed for time. I excel in teaching Lower-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate, and Advanced students, but am also excellent at teaching Beginner students whose first language is Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, or German. The resources I use are all free and online, so you won't have to go out and buy any textbooks. Reliability = me. Regarding exam prep., I can certainly help students out, so long as they tell me what the exam is before our first meeting. This way I can prep. and provide a class that will help the student/students achieve their scores. No time will be wasted. I give a variety of important online English exam training, including IELTS & TOEFL. It will be my pleasure to assist you. I am good at using several online tools, but find Google Meets is probably one of the most efficient ones. However, I'm open to using free new video communication services. You let me know which suits you best, and I'll download the software. I hope to have a meeting with you soon. Take care! Sincerely, Michelle Read more
