I love to learn about new cultures and to discuss a wide range of topics. For example, careers, food, sports, music, hobbies, movies and tv shows, or anything else that students find interesting. My hobbies include camping, cooking, going to the beach in Mexico, snowboarding, and listening to music.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have taught kindergarten for 9 years. I have loved working with children since I was old enough to babysit, and I find it extremely rewarding to see my young students learn so much in just 10 months. I like to keep learning as fun as possible but I do have strict behavior expectations in class as well. I started tutoring on iTalki in August 2017, and my students range from 6 years old to grandparents, and I love talking to all of them!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I cover all topics, but generally stick to discussing things that my students find interesting. I find that this is a good way to practice useful conversational English, and with repetition it becomes automatic! I also provide links to websites and videos that help me teach and I have even purchased textbooks if my students would rather use those.

I had an excellent experience in the conversation class with Lydia. She is very patient, and I appreciated how she helped me build confidence while speaking and corrected my mistakes in a kind and constructive way. She is also very friendly and pleasant, which made the class even more enjoyable. The session was dynamic, productive, and truly a pleasure. I highly recommend her. She is so sweet and helpful, and I can’t wait for the next class to talk to her again.
