About Me
italki teacher since Nov 15, 2021Interest topicReadingFilms & TV SeriesTravelMusicAnimation & Comics
I am originally from Miami, Florida, USA, but I live in Barcelona, Spain. I enjoy reading all kinds of books during my downtime, from fantasy novels to historical non-fiction books. I also like watching series on different streaming platforms and listening to a collection of podcasts on Spotify. All these things keep me entertained, and I learn something new daily!Me as a Teacher
I am reliable, thorough, and dedicated. I strive to be prompt and efficient in my teaching methods. I also like to remain approachable as I want my students to feel comfortable, take risks, and overcome the fear of making mistakes, as this is part of the learning process.
As a teacher, I highly value my students’ time and effort because learning a new language takes courage. I am patient and kind, and I aim to be a guide in my student's learning journey. Let’s do this!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style can be best described as instructive, supportive, and transparent. I encourage my students to actively participate in their learning process, ask questions when they come up (in or out of class), and have fun.
I teach structured as well as informal conversational classes. My lessons center around the goals my students have set for themselves. And all in all, my classes focus on conversation and comprehension. So book a trial class to discuss how I can best help you reach your goals.My teaching material
