About Ana

The English language is fantastic! I was quite young when I learned it since I spent four years living in the United States, and it has been one of the most useful tools I've had for advancing my scientific career. I have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, thus I am well-versed in scientific writing techniques and English for scientific publications. I also hold a Diploma in Higher Education, and I have 12 years of experience instructing Physiology and Biophysics to undergraduate students. I have extensive experience working with students of all ages online and have taught English at the postgraduate level for many years. Study, effort, and a lot of practice are all necessary for the extremely complex process of learning. I incorporate a variety of teaching techniques and exercises into the lessons to help you become more fluent, more adept at listening to and writing, and better at pronouncing words. To start your lessons as soon as possible, I hope we can meet.

Specialities

English: I have been teaching ESL for many years. I evaluate the learners’ English language proficiency, obtain materials aligned to the student's needs and goals, support and motivate the students’ learning, provide feedback on the learners’ English skills, and can also assist students with English-related tasks outside class, like writing an email or preparing for an oral presentation. I highlight the importance of pronunciation by teaching phonetics and word and sentence stress.
Scientific English: I have a lot of experience with academic writing, scientific English style and format, the structure of scientific manuscripts, and English language requirements in international scientific journals.
Spanish: Native speaker (from Chile)
