I’m KBob, glad you’ve stopped by. In my world, language isn’t just a tool for communication; it’s a bridge to new opportunities, cultures, and personal growth. I’ve dedicated myself to teaching English as a second language to adults who are eager to learn, and let me tell you, it’s a journey worth taking.
You might wonder why it’s named English Teacher KBob. Well, it’s simple yet personal. This site bears my nickname and my mission. KBob isn’t just a name; it’s a nod to my father, Bob, and an ode to being Bob Jr. in a vibrant family of eight siblings, all starting with ‘K’.
My teaching career kicked off back in 2006, and since then, I’ve navigated through the entire spectrum of English language teaching, from playdough-smeared tables in pre-K to the earnest gazes of adult learners. In 2017, I found my calling teaching ESL at an adult school, and I’ve been loving it. It’s great.
So yes, I’m an English teacher, but I’m also KBob, a culmination of family legacy and a lifetime of lessons both taught and learned. The KBob in EnglishteacherKBob isn’t just branding; it’s my marker for authenticity, quality, and earnestness in the world of English language education.
My English Teaching Odyssey: From Pre-K to ESL Master
You want to learn English and I’m here to help you with exactly that. My journey as an English teacher began way back in 2006. That year marked the start of a commitment to education, and since then, teaching English has been a significant part of my life.
What makes me qualified? Well, I’m a certified English teacher who has taught at every level you can think of. From the energetic buzz of a pre-K classroom to the focused diligence of adult school, I’ve experienced it all. And these experiences have equipped me with an extensive toolkit of teaching strategies tailored for every learning style.
However, the transition to adult education wasn’t just happenstance. I deliberately chose to focus on teaching English as a second language to adults because I saw the profound impact it could have. It’s about connecting with learners who bring rich, diverse lived experiences to the table, and that, to me, is inspiring. Teaching ESL since 2017 has been an enriching phase of my career, particularly because of the ripple effect it has on communities.
This chapter of my teaching story isn’t just about me imparting lessons; it’s also about the victories and progress of my students. Every time a student grasps a new concept, gains confidence in conversation, or achieves their language goals, it underscores the value of what we’re doing here. Their success defines my success and motivates me to keep evolving as an educator.
