Penelope Wood ESL Teacher

Hi! My name is Penelope and I am a certified English teacher! I was certified 2 years ago with the International TEFL academy in Chicago, IL, USA and have found a real passion and love for teaching. I believe that conversation is the the best way to learn a new language. However, we all learn differently and I am very interested in knowing how you best learn and how I can cater each lesson to best suit your needs. Learning a new language can be a really vulnerable and intimidating experience. I believe in creating a safe space to get things wrong sometimes, answer questions, and discuss best practice. I encourage feedback! Do you feel like we are doing too much of one thing? Do you feel like you fully understand something that I continue to go over? I want you in control of your lessons and feeling like you're learning exactly what you want to learn and how you want to learn it. I cannot wait to meet you and to get started!
