About Me
italki teacher since Oct 29, 2021InterestsPets & AnimalsWritingTravelArtEnvironment & Nature
Not just a teacherâan explorer of language, guiding students across continents of meaning, culture, and imagination.
Your classroom is not confined to four walls. It stretches from the bustling streets of Barcelona to the vibrant energy of Kuala Lumpur, shaped by your own journeys and the diverse learners you meet along the way. Every lesson feels like a passport stampâeach student stepping into a new world of English through stories, role-play, and shared discovery.
Teaching the way a traveler moves: curious, adaptive, and alive to the unexpected. One day, students might be navigating a mythical quest inspired by ancient legends; the next, theyâre decoding everyday conversation.
Welcome.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
"Unlikely Heroes and Create A Story is all about building confident English speakers through real conversations, creative reading, and fun, student-led discussions."
Our program builds real-world English fluency through engaging, student-centered classes.
Group Exercise: Discuss real topics using a problem/solution format with outlines, screen annotations, and group work.
Book Club: Guided reading sessions for all agesâbuild confidence, vocabulary, and comprehension through chapter-by-chapter discussion.
'PawBooks' = Free Talk: Casual conversations on student-chosen topics to boost natural speaking skills and confidence.My teaching material
