Hi, my name is Julie Tofilon. I come from the midwest in the united states
i really enjoy teaching english and have been doing so for twenty three years
part of at that time we were here in the u_s_ where we live in a university
campus
teaching students and their spouses and sometimes their children
We also lived for five years and taught in indonesia to businesspeople
and government civil servants
We lived six years in Turkey where we taught
in the classroom and in private conversation tutoring
We also lived in China for three years where we taught at the university level
my education consists of a Masters in Cross-Cultural Relationships
a Doctorate in
Leadership and extensive training in Teaching English as a Second Language as
well as a graduate certificate in counseling
I'm here to help you learn English.
I want to do that because I know that when you learn a language you can
communicate better and communication leads to understanding
understanding then leads to good relationships with others whether in
your business or in your friendships
and because i have an interesting cross-cultural relationships I want
to help you enjoy good relationships with people from other cultures
for myself i have learned five foreign languages living in various countries
starting as an exchange student when i was seventeen in Finland
I know what it takes to learn a language and I can help you with that
my family includes myself my husband and our two sons
My hobbies include
taking walks
playing and singing music writing music
playing sports, and reading
The keys to language learning are motivation and practice. I want to help you do
both.
If you are motived
you're going to learn. If you practice you're going to learn. So my teaching
methodology centers around
both listening and speaking wherein i will correct you I will encourage you I will
give you some tips I will give you idioms new vocabulary and write everything
down so that you can review it
I hope to see you and meet you sometime soon
