I am a certified librarian and licensed teacher from New York, have 2 masters degrees (M.L.S. and M.A.) and have been teaching for over 20 years.

For the past 10 years I have been teaching all levels of English in China.

Before moving to Beijing to teach I was a Research and Marketing Analyst for ABC and CBS TV in New York City for 6 years, then I taught TV/Radio-Communications in New York for 5 years.

While in Beijing I have taught business English at Lenovo, Bayer, Sinopec, LaFarge, just to name a few.

I have also taught English to primary, middle and high school students. Currently I'm a teacher at a well known international school in Beijing.

My American pronunciation is very clear, and I am often told how easy it is for students to understand and learn from me.

I specialize in business and corporate English, pronunciation, vocabulary, proper grammar usage, idioms and slang.

I'm looking forward to talking to you and helping you to the best of my ability.

Let's have fun and learn.

Sincerely,

Sam

とても優秀な先生だと感じました。フリートークを選んだのですが、ただおしゃべり するのではなく、きちんとこちらの表現ミスなどを指摘してくれるところがありがた いです。 最初、ビデオ通話ができなかったのが残念でしたが、インスタント メッセージやドキュメントファイルを活用してくれ、映像をおぎなってあまりあるレッスン だったと思います。テキストの内容もリアルで興味深かったです。イディオムをしっかり身につけさせてあげようという熱意を感じました。

とても分かりやすい英語で(ニューヨーク訛り)非常に熱心に教えてくれます。ここ数十年のアメリカの音楽の歴史について話してくれ、たくさん資料や曲を送ってくれました。アメリカン・パイの歌詞の解釈や背景になる事件や出来事も説明してくれました。50分があっという間に過ぎました。面白かったです。
