About Me
italki teacher since Sep 21, 2021Me as a Teacher
As a tutor, I prioritize having conversations with students that not only aims to educate but also to get them comfortable and confident in their speech. Becoming fluent is the goal! Learning a new language can be difficult, and I put this into consideration. Therefore, I am a good listener who is also patient, understanding, and kind. I believe in positive encouragement to help the student along their journey. I put the student's needs as my priority throughout the whole learning experience, regardless of whether or not the student's needs change along the way.My lessons & teaching style
My lesson and teaching style is mostly through guided conversation. I strongly believe that one learns best when they can be open and comfortable talking freely to another person. I love to try out new and fun ways to teach others while still ensuring that they learn as much as possible. I will be conducting some of my lessons through presentation slides/PPT, quizzes, articles, and text documents. However, I will keep an open mind to accommodate the student's learning style if and when necessary. Or, we could freestyle and you can tell me how your day is going! (Basic grammar lessons are also available as per the student's needs.)My teaching material
- Presentation slides/PPT
- Quizzes
- Text Documents
