About Me
italki teacher since Oct 26, 2021
Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile.
Sadly, I will not be active here on italki at least until (the beginning of) summer.
If you'd like us to have lessons together, please return at the beginning of June/July and check if I am active! I will gladly start accepting lesson requests then 😊
Me as a Teacher
I think that the most suitable adjective that I could use in order to describe my personality as a teacher (not that different, by the way, from the personality most of my friends & family & acquaintances are used to seeing on a daily basis, albeit a LOT more professional) is creative. And maybe also spontaneous. And friendly.
But, in all seriousness: apart from the fact that I do hold a CELTA certificate testifying the fact that I passed the training course with a B, I can honestly say that teaching is one of the things that I do well and, most importantly, with a lot of passion and love. And I've got the best proof to show exactly that: my former students' smiles and pure happiness.
My lessons & teaching style
I have found that what works best in most cases is, as I mentioned in my presentation video, the constant practice of the said language. Practice either in its written form or, the fastest method, in its spoken form. This is also the method that allowed me to learn to speak English with near-native speaker fluency (something I've been told by many a native English speaker) and write in it just as easily. Therefore, this is what most of my lessons will be based on: practice, practice, practice. Discussions on topics most important to my student(s).
Also, it goes without saying, that other materials will be used as well, such as YouTube videos, articles, quizzes etc.

I can’t describe how awesome Mateea as a teacher and as a person is! Hands down, this is the best teacher on iTalki when you want to get rid of your fear of speaking. She’s extremely open-minded, comfortable, nice, funny and all the positive adjectives you could think of!

Always a pleasure to speak to Mateea. She’s very intellectual and knows how to make you understand the Romanian language step by step!

I just had a wonderful lesson. Mateea is a really committed teacher and a very nice person to talk to; she will appeal to your favorite topics to keep you motivated and will also correct your mistakes very gently so you can have a smooth and pleasant conversation.
Look forward to booking another lesson with her!

The lessons with Mateea are very nice because she is patient and kind, and her lessons are interactive and conversational which helps me to improve my English skills like vocabulary, grammar, and thoughts in a more confident environment
