Michael Resta

廣州海珠中心

My name is Michael Olmedo Resta.? I am from the UK, fromEngland.? I am a CELTA? (TEFL) qualified English teacher.? I obtained this qualification in 2005.? I have been teaching English inChinasince February 2006 continuously apart from a short period inHong Konglast year in 2009 where I mainly taught part time in schools/kindergartens.?

Prior to joining Wall Street English and before my time in Hong Kong, I taught firstly inShandongProvince(university teaching – one and a half years) and then for 2 years inShanghaiat East China University of Science and Technology.? My focus was mainly Oral English.? My first degree was in English Law (I practiced for 10 years as a solicitor inUK) and so I did have the opportunity to teach some Legal English as well as International Economic Law in English at the invitation of the university.? In addition I did some kindergarten and school teaching while inShanghaiand helped students at the university who were preparing to take the IELTS exam.

As far as Oral English is concerned, I particularly enjoy teaching via elicitation from the students and getting them to speak English.? This is one of the main reasons why I applied to join Wall Street English which I did in January 2010.? I remember being particularly touched whilst inShanghaiby one of my students, a very shy girl, who told me during my last lesson with her class that she had the day before plucked up courage and spoken with a foreigner for the first time!? In my Oral English teaching I use text book material but also like to improvise with ideas especially using Drama and roleplay as a way of teaching and improving the students’ confidence in speaking.

Since joining Wall Street English in January 2010, I have found that I have been learning how to improve teaching techniques with regard to not only elicitation and student participation but also evaluating the students more effectively.? As well as Encounters and other classes.

I have been involved with English Corners including FT.com and the Harvard Management course. I have also been helping some students preparing for IELTS .

Outside teaching my interests include particularly following sports such as football.?

I support Liverpool Football Club fromUK.? I am especially looking forward to the World Cup inSouth Africanext month!

I believe you are never too old to learn new things, and that learning keeps us young and mentally active. I believe I will never grow old if I keep on learning new things.

Hello, my name is Angie and I’m Canadian. For someone coming from a snow-filled and people-short country like Canada, Guangzhou has been a big change, not just in weather and space, but also in culture—and for me, that has been the best part of living abroad. The want to learn something new has always been the driving force behind my goals and dreams. Living inChinahas been filling that want since the summer of 2008.??

I think that’s why I love teaching so much: I love learning, and any chance to pass on that love is a gift for me. This is one of the reasons that working for Wall Street English has been a gratifying and fulfilling experience for me. My colleagues are always supportive, friendly, and knowledgeable; the environment is welcoming, open, and educated; but it’s the students, most of all, which have made this a wonderful time for me. They are excited to be here and always offer me a smile—usually accompanied by a question or two, which I’m more than happy to answer. So, any questions?
