About Sylvia
I am a mature, fun, resourceful woman. My 30-year career involved administration for dentists, scientists and government. When I retired, I decided that teaching English would be the most rewarding job for me to pursue. This came from traveling all over the world and making some very good friends and connections! Over the past five years, I have obtained a certificate AND a diploma from The TEFL Academy. The Academy is the most awarded TEFL provider as well as the world’s first TEFL course provider to have received official recognition from government-regulated awarding bodies both in the US and the UK. This says a lot about my credentials and training. I am a naturally caring and engaging person. I am interested in my students' lives, cultures and experiences. I am deeply committed to helping my students achieve their English speaking goals.

I'm fortunate to have Sylvia as my child's English tutor. She's kind, patient, and encouraging, which is very important for ESL learners to build up confidence and start speaking. Besides that, she has a profound understanding of teaching, from the structures of classes to homework after sessions; she's into every detail. 5 out of 5, definitely recommend!
Sylvia is a true professional. My daughter really enjoys her lessons. Sylvia has a great way with children. She's responsible and meticulous. I highly recommend her as a teacher.
She is a very professional and responsible teacher. She carefully designs the lesson content according to my child’s current English level. During the class, she is very attentive and adjusts the pace and difficulty based on my child’s concentration and engagement.
After each lesson, she provides a detailed summary and assigns appropriate homework to help reinforce the key points. The books, videos, and audio materials she recommends are always interesting and suitable for my child, which keeps him motivated to learn.
Since studying with her, my child’s English has improved a lot. We truly appreciate her support.
Highly recommended!
Silvia is a very dedicated and friendly teacher. The lessons are a lot of fun and I have learned a lot. I would love to come back.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful teaching and kind guidance. As parents, we feel truly reassured and grateful. You’re a wonderful and trustworthy teacher.

Details
I charge $35 for an hour long lesson. For an additional $5, I will follow up with review notes and appropriate homework for the student to work on in between lessons. This is well worth it for those that wish to learn quickly and improve their understanding of English!
