About Me
italki teacher since Oct 29, 2021InterestsWritingReadingAnimation & ComicsTravelHistory
With over 20 years of experience in people-oriented roles, I have developed strong interpersonal skills that enable me to build rapport quickly and effectively. My background in sales has honed my ability to connect with diverse individuals, a skill I exercised in Bangkok, TH. I am passionate about creating an engaging, student-centered learning environment where students feel comfortable and supported. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, creating art, and appreciating the rich architecture of Barcelona, Spain. My adaptable personality allows me to meet students where they are, fostering a positive and productive learning experience. See U Soon.Me as a Teacher
"I adopt a conversational approach in my teaching, engaging each student with openness and consistency. I believe that natural, real-life dialogue not only enhances listening comprehension but also encourages students to view mistakes as part of the learning process. This method fosters confidence and allows learners to experience the fluidity and adaptability of modern English in a supportive environment."My lessons & teaching style
