About Me
italki teacher since Oct 15, 2021Interest topicTravelScienceHistory
I´m Canadian and a graduate of Harvard University. I have lived in 10 countries, including the United States, UK, Australia, Jordan, Egypt, Colombia, and the Philippines. I have lots of experience talking with people of different nationalities, so I can adjust the way I communicate with people. I love learning new languages and accents. I also like teaching languages and accents to others. I value and respect diversity, so no matter who you are, we can always have an interesting conversation. Let´s talk about food, culture, geography, nature, science, or whatever you want!Me as a Teacher
I speak English with a clear, careful, and easy-to-understand accent. Canadian English is a combination of American and British English, so it is international and versatile! Since I am multilingual, I also know what it is like to learn a new language, including the challenges and joys. I can share with you many tips about how to learn a language effectively and efficiently, and you can also tell me your preferred learning style. I have deep experience in education as a teacher, tutor, researcher, and development specialist. I continue to advance my knowledge as a current PhD student in Language and Literacy Education—the perfect degree for language teaching! I therefore have the right theorMy lessons & teaching style
Together, we will: 1. SPEAK 2. MAKE MISTAKES 3. LISTEN 4. FIX and IMPROVE 5. SPEAK MORE! My method is a cycle. It is conversational and practical, so you can start improving your English from the first day. I have learned 5 languages and the best way to learn is to listen, practice speaking, and make mistakes. Grammar is necessary to master a language, but I will help you learn it without boring theory. In addition, I have a few secret strategies that will help you become fluent in 6 months or less. Excited to meet you and achieve success together!My teaching material

Mackenzie is a kind and benevolent person, which I think is really important for being a teacher. Also, Mackenzie is a very attentive teacher. He can hear my mistakes and correct me, which is useful for my learning. He does not miss a mistake, which I like. All the material that he chose for our lessons was really helpful and interesting.

I will write something about Mackenzie after four lessons with him. In my opinion, it´s a pleasure to study with him. He makes the lesson more fluid and enjoyable. I can learn a lot of things from him, because he has a very high general knowledge; he has traveled to many places, and reads a lot of books. He knows a lot about Turkey, and he has been in Turkey before. In conclusion, it is advantageous to study with him.

Mackenzie is a knowledgeable and nice person. He is an excellent communicator: patient, clear, and understandable. He leads the discussion in an organized way.
Our conservations are interesting and cover a wide range of topics. We discuss, share, and learn about language, as well as general knowledge applicable to real life.
Our sessions are fun and they go by quickly. I always want one more.
