Hello! My name is Cecily. I was born and raised in the US and currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I taught English to adults for 2 years in China. I have two TEFL certificates. Before I was an English teacher, I taught music to children. My teaching style is: friendly, helpful, thoughtful and supportive. I can help you with all aspects of English: writing, pronunciation, speaking, grammar, listening. I can also provide you with many resources. My interests include: classical music, opera, yoga, drawing, art, acting, creative writing, blogging and reading. I'm also currently studying speech language pathology. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them with their English. I hope to speak with you soon on Cafetalk. Have a great day!

Cecily G.

Feedback from students

話の広げ方が上手な先生なので50分の授業でも中だるみせず英会話を楽しむことができました。会話中、適宜正しい表現の仕方を教えてくださるのもとても良いです。
-
速くて正確で、簡潔に英文を修正していただけます。 他校を含め今まで添削してもらった先生の中で、群を抜いて、速くて正確で丁寧です。
-
文法・語法だけでなく、日本人の感覚だと思いつかない箇所を修正いただけています。対応が丁寧です。
-
話したい話題を事前に伝えておき、レッスンではそれに基づいて様々な話をしていきます。その中で正しい言い回しとか使える単語なんかをしっかりと教えてくれます。 セシリー先生はとても感じが良くて話しやすいのでどんなレベルの方でも緊張することなく純粋に会話を楽しめると思います。

このレッスンはその歌詞について、発音について、唄い方などなど、数々の発見が有ります。今回の歌はDylanのblowin’ in the wind でしたが日本でも音楽や英語の授業で習うほど知られています。歌詞も一度書いてみて、意味をCecilyとdiscussionしつつ発音をチェックして貰いました。音楽から学ぶ英語は楽しく自然と頭に入る気がします。
