Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 27. Sep 2019Thema von InteresseUmwelt & NaturGesundheitReisenFinanzenMusik
I help business professionals who have been having difficulty interacting with foreign colleagues become more effective oral and written communicators.
I spent a decade working as a packaging specialist for international corporations in various manufacturing industries, including automotive (Toyota), personal care (Alberto-Culver), food (Barilla pasta), & durable goods (Weber grills). As an engineer, I collaborated with people around the world in numerous fields such as accounting, marketing, procurement, law & regulations, & product development.
In 2018, I paid off my student loans and decided to retire from engineering to focus on teaching.

I understand the value of clear and concise communication across the business world. As a language consultant, I’ve coached a myriad of business and medical professionals from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East including engineers, project managers, salespeople, nurses, and even doctors!
Students have complimented me for my passion, professionalism, attention to detail, and the way I guide them. I appreciate it when students can identify improvements and make necessary corrections on their own.
I came to italki to expand the reach of my services and to meet new & interesting people… So, please tell me... Where are you from? What do you do?

Auswahl der Lehrkraft
Amelia ist ein hervorragende Lehrerin. Sie ist witzig, interessiert und sehr gut in ihren Erklärungen und ihrer Form des Unterrichts.
Sie passt sich sehr meinen Bedürfnissen an und ist sehr geduldig mit mir.
Oft reden wir über den Alltag und Besonderheiten der vergangenen Woche. Somit erreichen wir einen deutlich weiteren Wortschatz, als über einen starren Unterricht.
Zum jeweils aktuellem Thema hat sie auch immer diverse Arbeitsblätter, die wir im Unterricht besprechen oder ich als Hausaufgabe schon einmal vorbereiten darf.
Amelia ist klasse. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

I want to say a huge thank you to Amelia! After just a few lessons with her, I can already hear a clear improvement in my speaking skills. I am very proud of the progress I've made so far, and I really hope she is proud of me too.
Amelia creates a great atmosphere for learning, and the results are visible (and audible) much faster than I expected. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to boost their confidence in speaking!

Amelia is incredibly professional and responsible. She provided me with many valuable comments on my resume, and the insights she shared have made a significant difference. Now, I feel much more confident in presenting my resume. I truly appreciate all the time and effort she invested in guiding me through the revisions.
During the first lesson, I found the experience fantastic. I had plenty of opportunities to express myself and share my work experience. Amelia consistently asked insightful questions and corrected my grammar and pronunciation issues promptly. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and am looking forward to the next one.

Great lesson!
Thank you so much for your help today, Amelia. After our class, I feel like my English is so good that I am ready to make a big speech. Barack Obama needs to watch out, because I speak almost like him now!
If you have some free time, could you send me a list of useful idioms? No rush at all. See you next time!
