Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 11. Apr 2020
Hi! My name is Kacie and I'm a TEFL certified English teacher from the United States. I moved to Chile in early 2017 in order to learn Spanish, and it was an amazing experience. I lived there for 5 years and I moved back to the USA in 2022. Before moving to Chile, I was an IT consultant for 7.5 years where I specialized in the Software Development Life Cycle and Agile, but I decided to make a career change. In Chile, I taught Business English to corporate students in Santiago and I also worked as a Scrum Master after I learned enough Spanish to get by. Now I teach on Italki part-time. It's been a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to the next big adventure!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a TEFL certified Business English teacher that has taught Interview Preparation classes, conducted resume reviews and taught Business English classes to corporate students in Santiago as well as numerous students all around the world. I have taught both individual and group classes at companies like Walmart, Saba, PwC and Albemarle for all levels.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are customized based on the English goals of my students. Since everyone has different motives for learning a new language, I want to ensure that we are focusing on what the student wants to improve upon. Additionally, I want to include resources that the students like so the classes can be fun for them (i.e. audio clips, videos, news articles, etc). I also think complete immersion is one of the best ways to learn a new language, so I try to only speak in English unless my student has an Elementary level of English. I also believe in adding a lot of conversation to the lessons since it is important for the student to practice speaking in a safe and controlled space.
Kacie me ayudó a obtener un nuevo empleo en la compañía Tech más grande del mundo después de haber tomado unas clases de preparación para la entrevista. Gracias.

I want to recommend Kacie as a teacher. 👍 At the beginning of the first lesson, we had a conversation about my expectations and my goals. Kacie adjusted very easily to my level of language, profession and hobby 💻. I feel very relaxed when speaking to her because she created something like a friendly mood, so, you will not be scared to make mistakes. Difficult or unknown words she can explain in a very simple way. I was surprised when 2-3 days after the lesson I got more materials related to my profession, just to develop my language skills and "repair" my mistakes from the previous lesson. Once again - I would like to highly recommend 👍 Kacie and look forward to the next lesson.

Kacie is an AMAZING teacher, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I was facing difficulty in formulating talking points while I was preparing my interviews, and she was the best person to connect with! She has provided the in-depth feedback and suggestions on my mock interviews. She also helped me build my confidence levels! Highly recommended!
I am so lucky to have her! Thank YOU!
