Hello, my name is Nelson Castro and I am an instructor at New York General Consulting. I earned my bachelor’s degree at UCLA and my master’s degree at Columbia University in Higher Education. I have worked in the ESL educational field for over 10 years. In my 10 years of experience in the field, I have worked with a diverse set of students. I manage my classroom with cultural sensitivity in order to encourage student’s participation and learning. I am a fluid teacher and always mold my classes to better serve the students in my classes. I am an energetic, passionate and very personable instructor. I hope to see you in my classes in the future!

My name is Eun Sun Choi. I graduated from New York University in 2007. My major was teaching English to Speakers of Other languages: all ages in masters’ program. I teach English as a certified instructor at NYGC (New York General Consulting). I am very enthusiastic, hard working, organized, prepared, flexible, and dedicated to my students. I am always patient with the weaker students in English and spend extra time with them to bring them up to speed with the rest of the class. All my classes are student-centered and I highly encourage my students to be active learners. I have created a positive learning environment based on mutual respect. My students feel safe in my classroom due to my teaching methods. It is so fantastic to work.

My name is Renata Planas and I’m an ESL teacher. I have a strong passion for what I do and it is conveyed through my teaching style, thus making the students feel comfortable and secure in my classroom. I try to make the class lessons as fun, interesting, and dynamic as possible. I always push students to use their speaking skills in and out of school. I also encourage them to seek advice or help from a teacher when they don’t understand something at work or in their daily activities.

I currently teach TOEFL Writing, ESL, and Public Speaking/Debate at NYGC. I specialize in public speaking, writing, and argument. I don’t mind helping students out with academic essays, college applications, or job applications. Teaching English is something I enjoy and I try to incorporate a variety of different subject matters into my classes.
My goal in teaching English is to keep class interesting with many different types of materials and moreover to make class useful for my students. For TOEFL writing, I accommodate students at different levels by focusing on teacher editing and one-on-one feedback as the core of instruction with small lessons to direct the class as a whole.

Hi, my name is Katherine Rodriguez. I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Linguistics and East Asian Studies. I love learning languages, which perhaps explains why I love teaching them! I currently speak English, Spanish, Chinese, German and French. I also have a lot of teaching experience, both abroad and in the United States. I have worked in various language institutes in Florida and have been fortunate enough to teach English in China and Chile. I look forward to sharing my passion with students. While my role may be that of an educator, I cannot deny that my students teach me something new everyday, and for that I am infinitely grateful!
