My teaching experience in a classroom is 5 years. I have been teaching on line for 2 .5 years .
My experience in the co-operate environment for 25 years has helped me understand the business market and language required to be successful in a working environment.
I can prepare you for a job interview ,meetings,presentations & business language skills as well as business etiquette with formal lessons or conversational .I will also build your vocabulary and fluency. Not forgetting self confidence levels.
I have a diploma in Financial Planning & a 180 hour TEFL certification.
I am currently studying with The British English Council.
Me as a Teacher
I adapt my teaching style to suite the students learning ability. I am friendly and patient with students. I have a good work ethic and excellent organizational skills. I make sure I build good rapport with my students tailor making lessons to suite individual needs. I believe in working closely with my student to help them move up to the next level of English . I have the capacity to pick up a students learning difficulties at a early stage. My classes are very interactive , happy and comfortable to ensure maximum learning. My students goals are my priority.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are engaging and interesting. I use videos , music, work sheets ,podcasts and much more in my lessons. I take into consideration the level of a students understanding of English & I adapt my teaching style to suite the students learning style. My lessons are interactive and student participation is very important. I believe activities must mentally challenge the students thinking abilities and be relevant to the topic. Homework and research is a students reference although I do encourage it,to reinforce what they learnt, When students leave the lesson they must be excited for the next one and have a sense of achievement after each lesson.

If italki classroom had worked out reliably, we would have had a brilliant lesson. It's absolutely not Serina's fault. She's an ambitious woman with interesting ideas to share. Thanks to all of that, I was able to understand. Using italki classroom ruined a lesson I was really looking forward to.
