Elementary Phonics is one of my top subjects! When I was a child, I learned to read through phonics, and it is honestly the most important thing I ever learned. I enjoy passing on my love for phonics, through songs, games, rhymes, and tongue-twisters! I also have some experience with linguistics, and that knowledge helps me when teaching non-native speakers or children who have trouble creating specific sounds.
I prefer a very conversational approach with my students. The style encourages mutual respect and allows me to observe more closely how the student learns. In addition, I feel learning is absorbed better when the information is couched in a story, and I believe conversation is a style of storytelling.
I have years of experience in varying forms of educations, but my most relevant is the two years (2012-2014) I lived in South Korea, teaching elementary and middle school students in English as a foreign language at a private academy. During that time period, I also tutored two adults in conversation, vocabulary, and diction. This experience led me to the decision to pursue a Masters in teaching, and until I complete that goal, I am going to keep my skills fresh with tutoring.
