About Me
italki teacher since Dec 26, 2021Interest topicMusicTravelPets & Animals
Hello! I'm Jenn, and I'm very excited to meet you! I took a short break from teaching but am happy to be back & accepting new students!
I was born & raised in Boise, Idaho, USA, but I now live seaside in Croatia, doing lots of scuba diving in my free time! It's incredible to live abroad and be immersed in different languages and cultures!
I'm passionate about travel, music & art, animals, language & culture, the ocean, and psychology & philosophy. I love to sing & play piano, guitar, and flute, go for long walks in nature & take beautiful photographs, and spend time with incredible sea creatures while scuba diving. I'm currently working toward a "Divemaster" certification!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for 3 years, and I love it! I have a 5-star rating based on over 500 reviews from my many wonderful students! Living in Croatia & learning the language here also helps me understand what it takes to learn a new language successfully. I've a passion for language, and am excited to share that passion with you on your English learning journey!
I have a bachelor's degree in Music Education and a master's degree in Music Therapy, specializing in speech and language development for children and adults with disabilities. This experience has given me a lot of patience and creativity to help you best achieve your goals!My lessons & teaching style
I know firsthand how scary it can be to communicate in an unfamiliar language, so I believe it's most important to have positive and friendly teacher-student relationships! Learning should be relaxed and fun, so students feel safe, comfortable, and even excited to explore the language.
"One size" does not "fit all", so I want to help you get what YOU want and need from your English learning, so learning materials will vary depending on your goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. We will work together to get you where you want to be! :)Work Experience
