    About Me

    Greetings, my name is Dean and I'm an Australian native English speaker.
    I've been living in Thailand since 2012 when I began my life as an ESL teacher.
    Living in a foreign country and learning the language and culture has allowed me to understand and appreciate the difficulties of learning a new language.
    Helping others learn new skills is very satisfying for me.
    My interests include traveling, eating delicious food, hanging with friends and family, music, movies, playing computer games, nature, and animals.

    Education

    Australasian Training Academy - Advanced TESOL Certification (Foundation program + Private Tuition specialisation)
    Open Universities Australia - Business.
    AMEB - Grade 5 Voice. (Singing semi-opera and drama)

    Experience / Qualifications

    I've been teaching English as a second language since 2012.
    Working for some of the largest online companies, I have had the opportunity to teach students from many countries including Thailand, China, Japan, Indonesia, France, Germany, and many more. I have taught students of all ages, English levels, and countless professions.
    I also have proofreading experience.
    I have an advanced TESOL certification, which includes the standard base certification plus an additional Private Tuition certification.
    English is known as the international language and thus plays an important role in providing better opportunities in life whether at work, rest, or play. I provide a comfortable learning environment so students can relax and learn at their own pace. Classes are conducted via Zoom/Voov. Children and teenagers' materials I use include Wonders, Wonderskills, English World, Oxford Discover, and much more. Adult materials include New English File, Off2Class, conversation, complete courses, or with a focus on specific skills. I'm also completely open to using other requested materials.

    Ask a question

    Send a message explaining your needs and Dean will reply soon:
    The more detail, the better.
    Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

    French, English, Wolof, and Turkish Tutoring lessons
    Online Lessons: In today's digital age, online lessons have become a convenient and flexible way to acquire new skills or knowledge. Whether it's language learning, academic tutoring, or professional development, online platforms offer a virtual space where learners can connect with educators from around the world. The advantages include accessibility, flexibility of scheduling, and the ability to access resources from the comfort of one's home. However, success in online learning often requires self-discipline and effective time management. In-Person Lessons: Traditional in-person lessons provide a face-to-face learning experience that has stood the test of time. From classrooms to workshops, in-person lessons offer a direct and personal interaction between the learner and the instructor. This method fosters a sense of community, allows for immediate feedback, and promotes a structured learning environment. In-person lessons are ideal for hands-on activities, group discussions, and activities that benefit from real-time collaboration. However, they may be less flexible in terms of scheduling and may require physical presence. Both online and in-person lessons have their merits, and the choice often depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the nature of the subject being taught.
