Ich als Lehrkraft
I like to make learning fun and interesting. I believe that I am an animated teacher, I have over 16 years of voluntary teaching experience, over this time period I have developed different teaching techniques to help my students retain the main points of our lessons. I have been working on italki for the last 5 years. During this time I have taught students from A2 level up to C2 level.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I believe that conversation is the best way to learn a language. I have learnt Spanish through conversation and I would love to help you improve your English language skills in the same way. My Pronunciation and Reading class is normally based around an article of general interest, we read together and then I am able to correct any mistakes that you make. I am also happy to identify grammar mistakes that you are struggling with, then we can work together to correct them.
James introduced Quaid to a lot of knowledge about Italy. He also taught him many things about traveling, such as taking a plane and other means of transportation. The course content James prepared with great care is very practical and helpful . We are going to travel to Italy soon. Wish James a happy summer vacation.James’class is amazing and thank you so much.
