Hello! My name is Teacher Ericka. I am a native English teacher from the USA. I am an experienced and certified English as a Second or Foreign Language (ESL) teacher with a bachelor's degree from the United Kingdom and two teaching certificates, including Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and Teach English Now TESOL Foundation from Arizona State University. I have taught over 1,200 students. My goal is for my students to speak English like native speakers using very effective teaching techniques which build confidence and enable learners to overcome any barriers to learning English. These are techniques not known to all ESL teachers and are very effective because they allow students to overcome any barriers to learning any subject. I make my students feel comfortable while learning English for a fun and uplifting experience. Learning is an exciting adventure! This wonder and enthusiasm in a child's heart needs to be matched with expert instruction and a truly fun and playful spirit. Being a good teacher also means encouraging students and making them feel safe to make mistakes so they can learn and grow on their language learning journey. Come join me. I look forward to meeting you!. Come join me. I look forward to meeting you!
