About me - English
I am a native English speaker from Kansas in the United States. I've been teaching English for over 6 years in various countries around the world. Although, this was not the profession I had planned when attending university, becoming an English teacher was one of the best decisions I've made in life and it has truly become a passion of mine.
Meeting new students and helping them learn a new skill brings me such joy and satisfaction. In July I made the decision to move back to the United States to be closer to family. However, I would like to continue doing the job I love, which is helping students learn and gain the confidence to communicate in another language. Please do contact me for more information about me and my classes. Kind regards, Ashley

Teaching Approach
I believe learning should be fun, enjoyable, and practical. I generally place an emphasis on speaking during the lesson while understanding that a strong grammar and vocabulary background is also quite important. Therefore, after each lesson I assign homework to reinforce those aspects of the topic covered in class.
Each class would consist of a review from the previous lesson, introduction of the new topic, then practice of the new topic. Review and repetition are important to truly learn and improve. As a teacher I am positive, encouraging, and upbeat. I also understand that each student has individual goals and needs, so I try to customize lessons for each student's needs as much as possible.
