Learn English
Lessons to develop professional English skills through listening and speaking activities. Topics are tailored to the profession and student's ability to ensure ongoing success. Lesson materials are provided each class along with additional between class study resources.
I follow a structured teaching method that includes hands on practice using tailored materials and additional resources. Furthermore, I assess for specific speaking habits and provide instruction to improve these person-specific areas of growth. The lessons are personalized to the student.
During an initial lesson, the student's language skills are assessed and a style of program identified.
There are two options:
#1 - Ongoing and flexible. This is the best option for students who have broad language goals (e.g. improve ability to obtain a future promotion). A syllabus is not provided as the content of the lessons will move at the pace of the student's growth.
#2 - Syllabus style. A set number of lessons will be agreed upon before the start of the second class. This option is best for students on a timeline and who are motivated to complete extra practice between lessons to ensure they can keep up with the content.

My name is Jenny-Lyn and I am a teacher who works with adult, elementary (Grade 1 to 6) and ELL (English Language Learner) education. I was born in Ontario, Canada and have finished a Humanities B.A. in Toronto. I was fortunate to gain two and half years of teaching experience with adult learners in Japan but was ready to return to the classroom after completing a Diploma of Education in Melbourne, Australia.
I taught in Nunavut, Canada with ELL students between 5 and 8 years of age while also running a literacy remediation program for adults. While living in Ottawa, Canada for seven years, I was an elementary educator with the Ottawa Carlton District School Board. I have moved out of the city and am refocusing my career on the subject I am most passionate about, second language learning. I look forwards to working with you on your language goals. :)
