Hello, I'm Irene, and I'm from California. I have a TEFL certificate from the University of Toronto.  

Para estudiantes principiantes, I provide minimal pairs testing, phonics training, and dictation/reverse dictation exercises to develop the first essential ability to recognize the distinct English sounds. I help you build associations to recall the most common English words and phrases as we build a deck of digital flashcards together in the Quizlet program.  I also help you recall this new vocabulary by helping you study with your deck and with other images. I help you take this vocabulary and build interesting simple sentences to express your ideas. 

For students at low-intermediate level and above, I offer conversation practice using the speaking topics from the Internet Teaching English as a Second Language Journal, such as traffic accidents, food, and digital life, as well as conversations on the topics important to you.  In these lessons I am your conversation partner, responding to you with natural comments and questions.   Our goal is for you to practice your recall of English words and phrases in real time, but also for you to practice expressing your way "around" an idea when you can't easily recall the English word or phrase,  Of course, I also provide grammar error correction.  I write the correct sentence in a Google document, so that you or I put the sentences onto flashcards for you to review later.  

To provide you with additional review material, I offer to record our conversation lessons.  

In all these lessons, translation from your native language is used carefully.   Translation can interfere with your ability to start thinking in English.
