About Eliane

Self-introduction:
Hi, my name is Thu Vu (T.V.). I am an graduated student at the University of Houston. I grew up in a monolingual household in Vietnam, a country where English is used commercially, and scholarly. Therefore I spent six years studying English as Foreign Language with the Grammar-Translation method. Then I studied ESL in the U.S. for four months in a classroom that employed the Communicative and task-based approaches. After five years of study in the U.S., I now speak English as a secondary language.

Experience:
Eigth months observing and semi-teaching grammar for level students.
One-on-one private session with an adult beginner since January 2023.
Competed for the TEFL certificate.
ESL teacher for a private institurion since 2022.

History:
I struggled in English during primary and secondary school. No matter how hard I tried, I could not comprehend tenses and rules. I remember the classroom was quiet, inactive, and dry. The teachers were strict and unresponsive. All of those discouraged me from learning the language.
When I got to experience the teaching approaches in the U.S. during my ESL semester, I caught up so well and eventually enjoy speaking the language. I imagine it would be a better subject in school if the students can understand the concept and have multiple opportunities to apply it and to make mistakes in class. Therefore, I decided to study as a linguist who focuses on education.
I want to show my students that with commitment and hard work, they are capable of anything and can be anything that they want to be. I hope to create a safe place for the children in my classroom, where teamwork and empathy are rewarded just as enthusiastically as a good test score. I am looking forward to creating an engaging and interactive learning environment
