講師詳細Teacher's Details

Hello Students!  My name is Seyla Chek.  I am from the United States.  I grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania.  I attended Temple University with a Kinesiology degree.  My teaching career began in Philadelphia where I taught in elementary schools for almost three years.  I left Philadelphia, to pursue my interest as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in the Philippines as teacher trainer for two years.  Here, I felt I found my calling in ESL teaching.  This career change led me to Japan where I have been living and teaching English for the past 14 years.  I have taught in an international school and in many elementary and junior highschools.  I taught students from kindergarten up to highschool. What I enjoy most about teaching English is seeing how students' English skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) improve when they learn from me.   

I think one of my greatest strengths with English learners are creating a rapport with students and being flexible to create a learning environment that is suitable for the student's skill level.  When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading and listening to podcasts on the internet.  In my free time,  I like exercising, traveling to new places like onsens, and cooking yummy desserts for my family and students.  I hope to get a chance to help you improve with your English skills.  Bye for now.   Seyla
