English Teaching

Hi, My name is Collins with 6 years of Teaching experience on about 4 continents, I worked with various ministries of education and strongly identified with its mission of cross-cultural communication and global citizenship. because of my passion for helping students, teaching and cultural experiences, and my TEFL qualifications.
I taught ESL to beginner, intermediate, kids, adults, and advanced students of various cultural and linguistic backgrounds in Colombia with the Ministry of Education, Ecuador with the Ministry of Education, An American English Institute in Venezuela, and also 3 other countries and here in Estonia private classes.
Through my teaching experiences and TEFL studies, I developed critical pedagogic and classroom management skills, along with a passion for teaching English.
I'm equipped with the Communicative Teaching Method, a philosophy that I’m excited to use to create student talk time.” I scaffold my lessons so that they include individual learning, pair, and group work, as well as moving around the classroom. By engaging students in speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and reading and appealing to diverse learning styles, I help them improve their accuracy and fluency across key skill areas.

After living in the South American region, I understood both the excitement and the challenges that accompany learning a new language and living abroad. In my classes, I typically set aside five to ten minutes at the start of each class for students to share their “highs” and “lows” for the week, a ritual that my students have appreciated as they adapted to new surroundings. I aim to support students’ social-emotional well-being as they learn English and deepen their global awareness.

I'm thrilled to hear from you and join a team of globally-minded educators dedicated to high-quality language instruction. Please feel free to contact me at. Thanks

Sincerely,

Collins Ugezene
