About Me
italki teacher since Jan 11, 2022Me as a Teacher
I'm quite a friendly and approachable person, and this attitude is reflected in my lessons, where I like to keep a causal tone with my students. I believe that people learn better when they feel comfortable, and that a relaxed atmosphere is the best setting in which to bring out inner confidence and foster an effective learning environment. Rather than asserting outright what is right or wrong, I like to encourage students to work things out for themselves, what mistakes they have made and why have they made them. In this way, rather than language learning being an exercise in memorisation, students really come to internalise the language and feel it for themselves.My lessons & teaching style
I vary the style and content of my lessons a lot to match different student's language learning goals and learning styles. Some of my students engage mostly in self study, and want to use their time with a teacher to work on specific aspects of English that want help with. On the other hand, some students want me to guide them through a curriculum, to set out a guideline of what to learn and when. During lessons, I often diagnose weaknesses in a student's English that they might not see themselves. When this happens I like to recommend specific areas for improvement, either through further practice with me in a classroom setting, or in their own time.My teaching material

We had a lot of cultural exchanges in our conversation. I am often at a loss for a word, but Patrick helps me to move on. He shares me with today’s take-away notes which is really good for a review of the lesson. Thank you!!

We had talks about our language studies, and also had more profound discussions on our cultural and social backgrounds. Explaining in English is tough, but Patrick is so kind and patient that I don’t have any pressure to move on fast. It’s always great to talk in my own words. Patrick helped me work my way through. Thank you!
