My name's Elizabeth and I teach the English language on italki. I'm a native speaker of English with a neutral, Canadian accent. I live in Western Canada and hold a Master's Degree in English literature and ABD status toward a PhD. I am a certified ESL teacher and a professional writer and editor.
In my spare time, I love spending time with family, taking walks with friends, reading fiction and non-fiction, watching movies and getting plenty of exercise.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Through my academic training, I have lectured and been a teaching assistant in literature and literary theory. More recently, I've worked as a business-to-business copywriter and editor and have taught business communication workshops to entrepreneurs. Across these combined fields, I have lectured to both large and small groups of students. Currently, I teach ESL students, one-on-one, over Zoom.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am patient when I correct students' errors. But I'll also help you to increase your understanding of English, whether by listening, speaking, reading or writing. I customize lessons to meet your specific need and level.
To cultivate productive teacher-to-student relationships, I start with a compulsory trial lesson, after which I can work with students _ on an ongoing basis_ . (I'm not available for one-time-only, intensive "crash" sessions.) For efficiency, I lead meetings over Zoom.
I lead friendly, but highly effective, ESL classes. Classes will include various documents, videos, students' interests and laughter, too. Without humour, language lessons would feel too heavy!
With Elizabeth I do conversation,she helps with vocabulary and pronunciation .She has a beautiful accent and is easy to understand. We use videos ,music recordings ,films ,series as well as operas ,singers ,actors and actresses so as to we have a lot of material for particularly interesting conversations .The sessions are always planned ahead carefully so the using of Zoom is made very easy by her posting the links for it a few days before and on the very day of the conversation .Elizabeth is very well-organised ,very punctual,quite knowledgeable in a lot of subjects and in general extremely pleasant,warm and empathetic. It is always a great pleasure to have a lesson with her.I highly recommend her.
