About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2021Interest topicWritingMusicFilms & TV Series
I am passionate about people. I have travelled across the world as a singer and actress; I have enjoyed meeting new people and I still exchange conversations with my 'International friends.'
Being in the Entertainment Industry in the Performing Arts means I must be able to express myself well, be able to speak clearly, use the correct grammar, pronunciation and have a clear accent.
I love watching movies, reading and playing board games. I love to bake but I don't think it loves me back!
Through homeschooling my own daughter for the past 3 years (grade 3, 4 & 5), I have acquired much patience and grasped some extra classroom skills on various subject matters.Me as a Teacher
My belief as a teacher is: How my student grows and learns reflects on me as a teacher; I believe that there are no bad students. I am patient, a great listener, and I like to give feedback in a positive manner . Thank you to my Neuro-Linguistic Program Training & Musical Theater Training; I use various techniques and methods which are readily available and are adaptable for each lesson. I am also flexible, which means I do often use Rapport which uses 'out of the box-teaching methods' just to help my learner feel at ease and thereafter I apply the principles and methods of learning.My lessons & teaching style
I use basic lesson construction as the foundation although I apply various methods. My lessons include:
Grammar and Vocabulary
Accent Reduction & Pronunciation
Conversations: Listening & Response
Reading & Presenting
Because of my training in Theater, I have also had to learn various accents. Accents include:
Straight UK Accent, Straight American and Southern American.
I therefore specialize in the following:
Pronunciation, Articulation, Diction, Inflection and Intention.
I use different teaching styles:
Article or Story reading, Vocal Dynamics, Improvisation, Storytelling, Questions & Answers, Repetition, Vocab Break-down for Reading, Puppeteering, Board games & Role playing.My teaching material
