Hi there!
My name is Monika. I have lived in New York for 16 years and taught for 6. I got my CELTA teaching certificate there in 2008.
That`s where I started to tutor private students and to work in classroom settings. I`ve been teaching students from all around the world since then, including Japanese and Korean learners.
Building a good connection with my students and creating a relaxed environment has always come naturally to me.
I am a learner myself! I have a wide range of interests and enjoy discovering new areas through my students` hobbies. Easy-going and cheerful, classes fly by with me. My hobbies are learning Spanish as my third language and Hungarian folk dancing. Keeping traditions and customs that our ancestors left to us is important to me. I also like cooking and definitely love eating:) Especially sweets. And because of this I have to jog:)
I sew and read good books when I have time. I love animals and the outdoors. Luckily I live next to a National Park so I have great access to nature and I wish I could set up my office in the middle of the forest:)
I am fascinated by different counties, cultures and most of all, their people. I would love to learn from you about your country!
Education and Experience
CELTA (certificate of English language teaching to adults) from Cambridge accredited Teaching House, New York, NY -2008
Experience working for Columbia University, NY for its Job Empowerment program for adult English as a Second Language learners. Conducted listening, conversation and mixed-skill classes. 2 years.
Experience with exam preparations: TOEFL, IELTS, teaching in classroom settings and face-to-face private lessons since 2008.
B.S. in Information Technology (architecture)
My teaching style
The classes are PERSONALIZED, CENTERED AROUND YOU and I always ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEAK. I use a lot of UP-TO-DATE topics currently in the news, including articles, videos and useful vocabulary. You will learn the most real life, native-like language in our classes.
We will always MAXIMIZE YOUR SPEAKING TIME no matter what level.
I type important grammar and vocabulary in the Skype instant message box so you will have a record of class content. I will also send you an mp3 file, a recording of our class. It`s great to listen to it in your own time, review vocabulary, grammar points, example sentences and pronunciation.
I always create a fun and pleasant environment where you can work towards your goals.
I feel that I can effectively help you because I have been in your shoes (in the same situation; learning English) and I had many of the questions you might have about grammar and so on. I have worked out the answers to many of those questions and I would love to share them with you.
I have helped many students
- to effectively communicate in English
- to understand native speakers better
- to get ready for moving to an English speaking country
- to get a job abroad
- to prepare for a summer of English studies abroad and travel
- to prepare for a job interview
- to get more familiar with business vocabulary, phrases and situations and therefore improve their job prospects
I`m looking forward to meeting you!
Q. Monika 강사님, 안녕하세요? 먼저 카페토크에 자기소개 부탁드립니다. A. 안녕하세요? 먼저 카페토크에서 학생들과 함께 레슨을 진행하게 되어 감사합니다. 저는 헝가리안으로 태어났습니다. 그리고 학교와 뉴욕에서 영어를 배웠습니다. 뉴욕 길거리에서 영어를 배웠다고 할 수 있죠. 하지만 길거리뿐만 아니라 미국인들과 생활을 하며 빠르게 영어를 배울 수 ...
