My Background

Barbara Ekenna

I have taught EFL/ESOL /EAL to all levels and age groups in a Secondary school, summer school, online, and College. Additionally, I have taught Medical English and Business English to French Professionals, as well as basic and conversational English to French speakers of all abilities and age group online.

My extensive experience teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL/TEFL) to children, teenagers, adults; professionals and entrepreneurs makes me an ideal Language Coach.  In addition, I encourage, motivate and inspire students to participate fully and achieve success. My teaching approach varies depending on the student’s needs and learning style. However, I encourage students to think for themselves, using real-world examples; stories and dialogues to improve their speaking, grammar and vocabulary.  I use questions and examples to check understanding continually.
