About Me
italki teacher since Dec 21, 2021InterestsMedical & HealthcareFilms & TV SeriesScienceSports & FitnessTravel
I absolutely love English and teaching, that's why my work brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment.
I see languages as tools that we use to achieve our goals, solve problems, acquire invaluable experience, and change our lives for the better. Being able to speak English and other languages has always been a game changer for me. It's a very valuable skill and I want to help others acquire it too.
In my free time, I love running, being in nature, studying topics of my interest, watching TV series, cooking, and baking. These activities fill me with energy and help me maintain a work-life balance.
Me as a Teacher
I have a degree in Linguistics and Cross-cultural Communication and a Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE). I consistently study methodology to improve the quality of my lessons.
I have over 7 years of experience teaching English. I've taught different ages and levels: from complete beginners to C1 level students. I have experience teaching General English, Business English, and ESP (English for Specific Purposes).
Here are a couple of things I believe in as a teacher:
I know that making mistakes is an essential part of learning. I also know that consistency is the key, but it can be hard to maintain, that's why I always support, encourage, and guide my students along the way.My lessons & teaching style
