About Me
italki teacher since Nov 17, 2021Interest topicArtHealthReading
My name is Hansi and I am a TEFL certified English teacher on italki. I'm from Sri Lanka but I've lived in Abu Dhabi, UAE for over 10 years and have been studying English from birth. I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Westminster in London, U.K., and have worked at software and digital agencies before I decided to teach online. I've always enjoyed learning English and it's an experience that I want to pass on to my future students!Me as a Teacher
I don't have a particular teaching method but I do try to incorporate their interests into the passages we use for reading exercises or the audio that we might use for a speaking exercise. I think this is a great way to help students be interested in the lesson and also connect with the material better.
I can help you work on improving your conversation, vocabulary, grammar and much more. I really would like to set up a book club one day with all my students so we can keep in touch and improve our English even more!My lessons & teaching style
Some of the materials that I like to use in my lessons are textbooks, presentations, videos and articles. These will all be shared online before or during our lessons and will be customized to suit your needs. You can select your lesson times and choose whether or not you want to be tested daily, weekly or monthly if at all. There's absolutely no pressure. You should learn English at your pace and I will guide you through it and teach you everything I know!My teaching material

Work Experience
2018 - 2019
Frontend Development Intern Virtusa Pvt. LtdIn addition to my duties as a frontend developer, I also had to take part in business meetings, write emails and converse with my team daily to complete our projects on time. So this has given me a good experience with using Business English in a professional work environment which I can use to teach my students.
2020 - 2021
Digital Marketing Coordinator MASK Digital SolutionsI handle all the writing and marketing for the company and our clients. This has kept me on top of my copy and content writing skills and allowed me to work with some of the different varieties of the English language. Because I am used to it, I can teach my students American, British or Australian English spelling and pronunciation if they require it.

I had an excellent lesson with Hansi! She is a great tutor as well as conversation partner. She gave me helpful advice and tips even though We had only 30 minutes. I think I would have taken more lessons if it were not for my interview tomorrow, which I am preparing for right now
