Hello!

Hi everyone!! My name is LaShay and I'm SO excited to be a part of your English speaking journey!! I am very proficient in the English language, have studied English Literature at Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA) and have also worked as a journalist in high school. I also speak a vernacular of English exclusive to the US African-American community called AAVE or African-American Vernacular English. I like to incorporate fun into my teaching so plan to not only learn but also have a good time while doing so. I am what they call a "people person" and very much enjoy helping people become their best selves. I look forward to doing so for each and every one of you.

I'm a 40 year old single mom to a beautiful little 3-year-old boy who absolutely drives me crazy!! And I wouldn't have it any other way. So excited to meet you in my classroom!!

Specialties

Teaching Style

I have a teaching style that blends both hybrid and facilitator styles. Because majority of communication is nonverbal, I believe adding my own personality allows the student to better understand context. However, I firmly believe in creating an environment where students can use their critical thining skills and self-learn.
