Want more confidence? I can help you!
First, I'm a language learner, too. 🙋 I've lived in five countries, speak three languages, & take weekly iTalki classes. Native speakers really do help.
Second, I'm a professional teacher. 📕 I've got a TEFL certificate & taught 4+ years in person & online. I've also got a master's degree in journalism & a bachelor's in East Asian Studies.
Third, I have life experience. 💼 Before teaching, I was a reporter and editor & even started my own print newspaper. I value language as a tool.
You can do this! Let's practice together!

Yo como profesor
You'll get to talk. A lot. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Practice. Practice. Practice. That's why you're here, right? Our classroom is your language laboratory. Have fun and try things!
Here's the BIG SECRET to learning English ... you need to fail! You need to use new words the wrong way and stumble through pronunciations. How else will you know what to practice?
Learning English doesn't have to be frustrating or embarrassing, though. I'll praise your successes and give you clear, honest feedback about errors. We all have strong areas! We all have weak areas, too! Mine? I'm horrable at spelling!
🤣 Let's have fun and laugh our way through some misunderstandings!Mis clases y método de enseñanza

Nick is the best tutor I've ever met. He is very professional, attentive, supportive and easy to talk with – before our classes, I did not even know that effective learning of English can be also fun. Nick helped me prepare for the interview, find my strong language skills and improve my weak ones. And what else is very important to me – he is very accurate and inspiring in the feedback, after which you want to speak English more and more without any fear of making mistakes. I was deeply impressed by how quickly Nick taught me to be confident and truly believe in my ability to communicate in English.
