My favorite part about teaching English is getting to meet a student twice! Once when they begin to study English and don’t know it well and again when they’ve learned it.
Why do I like teaching at ELI? The staff is welcoming and communicative, a place where I truly feel like it's a functioning team that's willing to help each other and treat each other as people rather than just workers. ESL teaching is also unlike many other jobs, a job that encourages constant opportunities to grow and creative ways to learn.
ELI is a place where I can meet people from all over the world with different cultural backgrounds, interests, knowledge, and opinions. I love learning from all the students while helping them with their goals. I try to use my variety of skills and experiences to connect with every student and teach in ways that can bring new insights to language and culture for students. In addition, I enjoy ELI’s location both for the view and the variety of interesting places very nearby. I hope to see you soon!
The diversity and open-mindedness of our students, teachers and staff are a microcosm of this great city of San Francisco that we work and live in.
It’s my goal to create a safe, fun and positive environment where all feel welcome to learn, grow and thrive. ELI’s staff and students are some of the most talented and kindest people I know, so it’s my pleasure to come to work every day to cheer them on.
I love the opportunity to meet students from all over the world and benefit from an open and welcoming environment of mutual learning.
