About me - English
Hello! My name is Sam and I am from Chicago, IL, USA. I love learning and teaching foreign languages as well as writing, reading, and sports. I am 26 years old and I have written several books, as well as articles and news pieces, in both English and Spanish! I work as a transcriptionist, and when I'm not doing that, I am teaching English here on Verbalplanet!
Qualifications & Experience
In 2014, I obtained my TEFL certification from International TEFL Academy based in Chicago, IL, my hometown! I have been teaching English as a foreign language for over 5 years. I have taught in Mexico and China, as well as in the US, and I have experience teaching students of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of ability. I speak Spanish as a second language as well as a fair bit of French and Mandarin Chinese. From 2011 to 2014, I taught Spanish at the University of Wisconsin, and from 2012-2013 I taught French and Spanish at the College of Lake County.
Teaching Approach
I use a conversation-based approach that focuses on vocabulary acquisition and practical use of grammar - basically, I get my students to speak, and I give them the tools they need to do it. Building confidence when speaking a foreign language is incredibly important, especially in the beginning. My lessons are designed specifically for each student and are centered on building confidence!

Tengo 26 años y he escrito varios libros, artículos y obras para las noticias, ¡en inglés y español! Trabajo como Transcripcionista, y mientras no estoy haciendo eso, estoy aquí enseñando inglés en Verbalplanet.
Qualifications & Experience
En 2014, obtuve mi título TEFL de la International TEFL Academy basado aquí en Chicago, IL. He enseñado inglés como segundo idioma durante los últimos 5 años. He enseñado en México, China, y EEUU, a estudiantes de todas edades, historias, y niveles de habilidad. Hablo español como segundo idioma y un poco de francés y chino mandarín.
Teaching Approach
Mi método se enfoca en conversación, adquisición de vocabulario, y uso practical de gramática. Simplemente, mi estudiantes hablan mucho, y les doy lo que necesitan para tener confidencia en hacer eso. Construir confidencia en una lengua nueva es muy importante, especialmente al principio. Mis lecciones están diseñadas para las necesidades específicas de cada estudiante.
