About Me
italki teacher since Feb 21, 2022Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am really enthusiastic about sharing knowledge with others and doing everything I can to help them achieve their language goals. I put a lot of emphasis on the individual; we all have our own unique interests and ways of learning, so I try to understand my student and tailor the lessons to be particularly interesting and engaging to them. I like to think of myself as a very patient teacher, and if something isn't working for my student, then I'll brainstorm and try something else. I also value communication; if my student doesn't like my teaching methods or feels unsatisfied, then we talk about it and find the optimal solution.My lessons & teaching style
I usually break down my lessons into two main parts: accuracy and fluency. In accuracy, I focus on making sure my student uses correct grammar, has good pronunciation, etc. And in fluency, I focus on getting my student to speak naturally and carry out conversations and building up their confidence. I always begin my lesson with a brief warm-up, usually a small casual conversation in English, and I usually end the lesson with a quick review of everything covered in that session. I usually assign small homework assignments based on the lesson alongside a small, open writing assignment on a topic of your choice to use for the warm-up in the next session.My teaching material
