Jeffrey

Hello!

Hello, English Language Learners! I'm Jeffrey, a certified TEFL Instructor from the United States. I offer 30-60 minute English lessons (I'm sorry, I don't do 15 minute lessons) for conversation, fluency, interview preparation and travel, to adults and children 14 and older, beginner to advanced/A1-C1. I've been teaching English online for over 3 years and have over 30,000 minutes of talk time on Cambly. My goal is to reduce your anxiety and fear when communicating in English, building confidence along the way. I've taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to high school immigrant students in the US public school system as a licensed ESL teacher, and I passed the U.S. ESL teacher licensure exam with highest possible score of 200. I also have two masters degrees from Columbia University in Social Work & Public Health. At Cambly I've tutored learners from more than 20 countries and talked for well over 22,000 minutes. In my Social Work career, I've helped clients who spoke little English to get basic needs met, like housing, food and work, enabling me to identify your strengths and resilience. Most importantly, I understand what you might be going through in learning English - I felt anxiety and pressure when I was required to learn Spanish for work in Latin America and the U.S. I'll show you the kindness, dignity and respect that I received when learning my second language. I teach because YOU have a dream: maybe a better life for your family, going to school, or traveling. My passion is teaching English in fun and meaningful ways, bringing your dreams to life! Just trust me enough to risk making mistakes. You can count on my help.

I'm a certified TEFL Instructor. I've taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to high school immigrant students in the US public school system as a licensed teacher. I'm also a licensed social worker, and I'm fluent in Spanish. I love music, meditation, hiking, reading and learning about my students' cultures, interests and dreams. Here's why I'm so passionate about teaching. Teaching English is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I teach because I want you to open doors to the places you want to go, the experiences you want to have. I teach so you'll have better opportunities to support yourself and your family. I teach to help you remove language barriers, because language is how we share our feelings, our needs, our dreams, our identities, and our purpose in life. I teach so that beginners can speak, intermediate students can improve, and advanced students can aim for fluency. That's my purpose - to bring English to life for you! It's time to live your dream - in English - so let's get started!
