Immersive English

I first assess the level of English profeciency of the student and if they are a complete beginner I begin with objects in the room by asking yes, no, and either or quesions while mirroring support for the student.  Next I try to learn what it is that the students hopes to accomplish and try to come up with a mutal plan which we can go back to at a later date to see how we are progressing

  I've been teaching since I was fourteen years old; swimming, ESL, and acting.  I was a theater major in college communications minor.  In my theater studies I've learned how to develop my ear and eye to spot what a person needs to develop and muscle patterns it takes to pronounce the English Language.  I started as an ESL instructor in 1990 at Berlitz Language school in Manhattan where I was taught total immersion technique.  Since then I've taught at several schools as well as my private classes- including a four month time teaching in Sao Joao del Rey in Minas Gerais Brazil.  I've been awarded teacher of the year three times in my school organizations.
