About Me
italki teacher since Dec 5, 2021Me as a Teacher
I have been an online ESL teacher for the past 10 years. I have both TEFL and TESOL certifications (each a 120-hour course program). I have taught beginner to advanced students of all ages. I use a wide variety of props, songs, news articles, worksheets, games, etc. to help my students learn and understand the English language. At one of my previous jobs I taught over 15,000 classes over the course of 6 years to children between the ages of 3 and 17. In addition to experience teaching children, I also worked with adults in 1-on-1 and group classes for over 6 years teaching a wide variety of English courses.My lessons & teaching style
I am a very encouraging teacher that helps students not only feel good about their English studies, but also about themselves. I believe in adapting given material to the student´s specific needs. Feedback is also a must, so be prepared to receive personalized feedback at the end of every class. If desired homework and writing assignments can also be given.My teaching material
