I have been teaching ESL to all ages, as well as Business English for more than 16 years in both Canada and China. I also tutor in Language Arts and public speaking for native English speakers. I am a former IELTS Examiner for Speaking and Writing, and I have a CELTA Certificate from Cambridge University. I have also taken the CELPIP teacher training course and have written my own CELPIP and IELTS training programs which I teach online.
