Angela

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students because I believe education opens doors to new opportunities and personal growth. Working with students, especially in ESL, allows me to make a tangible difference in their lives by helping them develop skills that are essential for communication, integration, and success in a globalized world. It's incredibly fulfilling to witness the moment a student connects with a new concept, builds confidence in their language abilities, and starts to express themselves more fluently.

My experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) has been diverse, mostly teaching personalized one-on-one sessions. I've had the opportunity to work with students from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds, which has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges they face. Each student comes with their own story and motivation for learning English, and I enjoy crafting lessons that resonate with their individual needs and goals.

I am TEFL certified, and I completed my education at York University, earning a degree in Linguistics. Currently, I am focused on enhancing my ESL teaching skills and staying updated with new language teaching methodologies. My goal is to create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to improve their language skills and communicate confidently.

While I tutor a range of subjects, I specialize in ESL, which is also my favourite subject to teach. I find language learning incredibly rewarding because it's more than just mastering grammar or vocabulary; it's about giving students the tools to express themselves, connect with others, and navigate new environments. Seeing students gain the confidence to use English in real-world situations is what I enjoy most about tutoring.
