Hello! My name is Hannah, and I grew up in California, in the United States. I love to meet people from all over the world, both travelling and at home. I am very friendly and easygoing, and I have been told that I can make friends with anyone! I am excited to meet new students and learn about your lives and perspectives. I lived for over a year in Seoul, South Korea, and I know what it feels like to adapt to a new language and culture.Me as a Teacher
I have a CELTA teaching certification, and over 5 years of ESL industry experience. My strengths as a teacher include flexibility, creativity, and an ability to think quickly. I am patient and understanding in all my teaching. I have studied Korean and French, so if you are a native in either of these languages, I have an extra basis for understanding your unique challenges.My lessons & teaching style
My goal as a teacher is to make you feel welcome in the world of English!
Conversation lessons start with a topic (for example childhood), about which I will have a list of conversation questions prepared. I take notes on grammar mistakes and send a list of mistakes and corrections after the class. I introduce related vocabulary throughout the lesson. Writing homework is optional.
I also can base lessons around other materials such as a video or article.
IMPORTANT: Please do not request lessons for someone other than yourself unless we have discussed it in messages.My teaching material

Hannah is a very professional teacher. Every session she learns me a lot of new words and expressions and corrects me my mistakes which is very important to find out your weakness and to rectify it. I really appreciate your support. Thank you & see you next session.
