Allison Hester

I have a  Bachelors Degree in business, a 120 Hour TESOL certificate, an IELTS Specialist certificate and I am trained to teach the USA Citizenship Test. 

I have 3.5 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have various teaching styles which I adapt to suit the individual needs of my students. I believe everyone deserves to be treated as an individual in their learning development; therefore it is important to be able to create a lesson that is tailored to students' needs. 

My methodology is to work toward my students’ learning goals.  First, I will ask you what you would like to achieve by learning English, along with what you would like me to focus on. If needed, I will give you an assessment, and we will go over the results together so that I can create the best lesson plan for you. I will share a lot of info on my tutoring style as well.

My lesson areas are based on your needs but include attention to the following areas of literacy.

•Fluency

•Phonics and pronunciation

•Conversation

•Vocabulary development

•Reading comprehension     

 •Writing emails, resumes and cover letters

•Understanding and using idioms and phrasal verbs effectively

I am patient and I motivate my students to take their time so they can understand the lesson and to ask questions. 

I look forward to helping you reach your goals. 

Thank you for your consideration.
