About Me

Hello. My name is Vinny. I have 5+ years of teaching experience with both children and adults, groups and individuals, in classroom settings as well as online tutoring. I have lived and taught English in several countries throughout Asia. I have a Bachelor's degree and TEFL certification. I specialize in automated, technology-enhanced language learning. My goal is to help you learn to speak and understand English like a native speaker.

I have taught English in Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and online. I have taught a wide range of students including business professionals, kids, and Buddhist monks. I am also a writer, researcher and web developer. I created a website (EnglishFirstAid.net) to help students learn English better and faster. On my website you can find lots of useful information, articles, study tips, and flashcards to help you learn English.

~My teaching methods ~

There are 2 main parts to my teaching:
1.) Self-study
2.) Everything else

Number 1 is very important. I want to make sure that you are studying effectively and efficiently before we do everything else. I built my website to help you do this. I designed a very effective multimedia flashcard system that will automate your learning. My flashcards include text, pictures, and sound.

Everything else happens during the lesson and will be personalized to what you need. This includes pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, etc. My teaching style is fun, low-pressure and relaxed. I will teach you to learn English at your MAXIMUM speed. All my methods are based on the lifestyles of polyglots, people who can speak many languages fluently. With these methods, you can learn English much faster than conventional methods.

I always use native speaker content. You can learn from English movies, TV shows, videos on the internet and comic books! You will never get bored studying English with me.

~About me~

I love to learn new things. I enjoy teaching because I love to learn. I've lived in four different countries during my life and visited over 10. I read LOTS of books. I love to learn from other people and share my skills. I'm professional language learner. I have studied Thai, Japanese and Spanish. I taught myself to speak and understand Spanish fluently in less than two years using my own self-study system. Right now I'm spending most of my time learning and practicing my Spanish and Tantra.

My hobbies/interests include polyglots, computers, technology, plant medicines and shamans, mycology, Yoga, Tantra, spirit and magic, spending time in nature, healthy food, cooking, history, culture, travel.
