Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 28. Jan 2022
Hi, my name is Matthew. I'm from Oregon, USA. I used to work as a graphic and web designer for 8 years. However, after making international friends, I was inspired by the world around me; I decided to become an English teacher.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Helping others achieve English fluency and getting closer to their dreams is what makes me happy. I’ve taught English in Korea and Japan for more than 10 years. I’ve taught children and adults, from beginner to advanced. Lessons have often focused on extensive reading, phonics, pronunciation, effective communication strategies, error correction, document translation, speech preparation, TOEIC and EIKEN preparation.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My aim is to help the learner become better at communication. Every task in a lesson has a purpose whether it’s a free-talk lesson or a structured lesson. We dive into topics that interest the learner. I adjust my speaking level so that the learner can understand. I encourage questions including questions about grammar, pronunciation, or my even favorite question: "What the best way to learn/acquire a language?".
