Featured TESOL/TESL/TEFL Instructor

Name: Neal McKeever
Position: TESOL/TESL/TEFL Instructor
ESL Teaching Experience: Tokyo, Japan; Sapporo, Japan; Mendoza, Argentina; San Diego, California; Eugene, Oregon

There is something very fulfilling about arriving to a job that you like, using a mode of transportation that you enjoy, while living in a place that you thoroughly take pleasure in. I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to live and work overseas for seven years, traveling, biking, and studying other languages among other things.

My ESL career started in Oregon where I began teaching migrant workers conversational English. Several years after, I had traveled throughout Central and South America, become fluent in Spanish, and was on my way to Asia.

Living and working abroad has given me great insight into my own country and culture, giving me a global view that cannot be learned by studying, but only by doing.

What Students Have to Say

[The instructor] made our class so informative and entertaining as well.  She taught us all the key elements that our class needed to teach abroad, and made great use of every minute of our class. She made sure we were very well prepared from grammar and vocabulary to detailed lesson plans.  She gave so many practical examples.  I have been to many seminars and classes and [this has] been by far the most organized, informative and well executed program I have attended.  I feel very confident and ready to teach English abroad.  Thanks to [my Instructor] and Oxford Seminars.  I will definitely refer all my friends and classmates to Oxford Seminars for their TESOL/TESL/TEFL classes.

I thank my instructor for teaching the way he does.  I have learned a massive amount of information from him, and he knows what he is talking about.  He is interesting and approachable and I would recommend this course (without a doubt) to anyone!

I learned so much in three weeks because of [my instructor]! I hope to someday be as good of a teacher as [my instructor].  I appreciate her organization and always being prepared.  She is very personable and friendly, fun, and energetic.  She was very thorough, made sure we all understood, plus made it a fun environment.

My instructor had a strong understanding of the language and explained it very well.  She was also good at addressing what is important for EFL students.

The Instructor really showed he knew his stuff.  He was always prepared, organized, very friendly, and didn’t overpower his students.  He was so enthusiastic and managed to keep a little bit of class fun.  He was a great teacher and we all enjoyed him!

[My instructor] did an amazing job making this course informative, interactive, engaging and fun! She was able to answer all questions and brought her personal experience in to illustrate scenarios and real life examples.  She has inspired me to not only be a good teacher but to live life fully and enjoy it.
