Learn English in New York

I believe my role as a teacher depends on my ability to simplify so as to motivate; to clarify, so as to help students navigate the challenges of learning a new language as it is told from an American perspective. The Joy in teaching language come from the joy in engaging an international community with this rich-American heritage.

The best part of EC New York is its location, which stands at the center of one of the world's greatest cosmopolitans; it is an exciting as it is riped with stories, waiting to unfold for each one of EC Language's students. As an ESL teacher, having taught for two years, I try to equip students, to the best of my ability, with the language tools needed to share each one of their authentic New York and American experiences in a clear, comprehensible, and authentic manner.

The ESL classroom is a rich, dynamic experience, and I constantly marvel at how the magic of New York City brings learning to a whole new level. Beyond the classroom, our EC students discover the array of opportunities here – exotic new dishes, exclusive museum tours, famous operas, and Broadway shows. Here they also uncover unique little treasures off the beaten path – small black box theaters, street and subway performances, and one-time lecture opportunities, among so many more. The Big Apple boasts a classroom like no other.

Teaching English at EC is exciting, challenging and different every day. The process of teaching and learning English is not always easy, but it is incredibly rewarding. There is nothing better than walking down the hallway of our school and overhearing students from opposite sides of the world conversing in English and using something they learned from my class! It is gratifying and inspirational to facilitate communication and learning. In such a global atmosphere, I learn as much as I teach every day at EC.

EC New York is a fabulous place to work! As a Business English and General English teacher, I have the privilege of working with seasoned professionals, young professionals and university graduates from all different cultures and walks of life. The richest part of my job is that I too am constantly learning while I am teaching! EC New York has an energy and excitement generated by the combination of great students and great teachers. It is truly a rewarding experience.
