KINDERGARTEN & ELEMENTARY
About Ms. Lili
Hi! My name is Lili. I am an ESL teacher for grades K-12, and I especially love working with younger students. I have a M.Ed. from the University of Maryland and hold a TESOL certificate.
With three years of international teaching experience in a school setting, five years of private tutoring with kids, teens, adults and businesses, and a lifetime of having a blast with kids at camps, orphanages and conferences, I am your go-to gal!
Working with kids is so exciting for me because kids are constantly learning and growing. They see everything with eyes of wonder and their way of looking at the world inspires me every day.
MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL
About Mr. Ben
My name is Ben, and I'm a middle school and high school teacher who loves to laugh! Whether you're studying World War I or reading your first work of William Shakespeare, I'm here to help you make it a lot more fun.
I teach English, French, Math, History and Geography, so no matter where you're needing a boost, I can probably help you out.
I have an M.Ed. from the University of Ottawa, and I've been working with kids and young adults for over a decade. When I'm not in the classroom, you'll find me on the basketball court or the football field!
I can't wait to meet you and to start working with you!
UNIVERSITY, PARENTS & PROFESSIONALS
About Jeremy
Learning isn’t just for kids — it’s a lifelong adventure! My name is Jeremy and I work with university students, parents and business professionals who are looking for help to improve their written and spoken English.
For university students, I provide proofreading help, brainstorming sessions, and writer’s workshops. I've taught at the university level and can give you tips and tricks to help you become a better academic writer.
For parents, I can help you stay on pace with your child as they learn English, or I can show you how you can teach your child yourself through normal family activities.
And for professionals, I offer writing coaching. I’m a book editor and speech writer by trade, so if you need some help with your presentations, reports or publications, I’d be happy to help.
How We Teach
Our main purpose is to inspire students to have a desire to learn English. We provide a positive and caring learning environment, where students feel free to make language mistakes and take risks.
Since no two kids are the same, we spend time getting to know our students so that we can craft lessons that fit their specific needs. Once the motivation is there, students will see rapid progress in language acquisition.
Like a delicious pizza, we incorporate four ingredients into each of our lessons:
- The crust: students’ curiosity and interests guide the learning process. (This base holds everything together.)
- The sauce: hands-on activities are used to make the lesson stick. (A pizza isn't a pizza without a delicious sauce. In the same way, a lesson is only a lesson if students take something away.)
- The cheese: students have ample time to practice new language skills they have just learned in various ways. (The best pizzas have a specially selected blend of cheeses. Our lessons are the same: we carefully choose a mix of practice activities so all of our students will thrive.)
- The toppings: students are free to share ideas and to be themselves. (Everybody likes their pizza a bit different!)
We believe that anyone can learn and master English if they are learning in a stimulating atmosphere and having fun in the process. We hope to see you in our class soon!
