ECLA is delighted to welcome Teacher and Junior Program Coordinator, Christine Chang, to the team. Learn more about Christine by reading her introduction below.
“I knew the first day of kindergarten that I would become a teacher one day! Of course, I’ve come a long way since kindergarten and am excited to be at EC Los Angeles!
In high school, I volunteered at a local elementary school and met a first grade girl who had recently immigrated from Iran. She spoke no English at all, and I worked with her for the year so that she could become integrated into her class. It was an experience that showed me that I had talent and passion for teaching English. Since then, I’ve geared my life towards improving as a teacher by going to university, travelling and working with different types of students. I especially enjoy teaching ESL because I see how students from different countries and cultures not only get to learn a language but also learn about each other.
I came to EC Los Angeles with teaching experience, but I’ve learned so much about teaching from EC’s method. I’m excited to be developing as a teacher so that I can tailor each of my lessons to my students and their specific needs. I want to be the teacher that students remember as the one who cared about them and their learning and as the teacher who helped them markedly improve their English. I know that the EC method is the best way to ensure that I will be the teacher that I want to be!”
