About Me
italki teacher since Dec 9, 2021
I grew up in the United States but am currently living in Albania with my significant other. I have had a range of professional experiences growing up ranging from the Military, to teaching in inner city schools with Teach for America to working in both Chambers of Congress in Washington, DC. I greatly enjoy reading, writing, spending time in nature and being around animals. I have been fortunate to travel a lot and have made it to all of the Continents with the exception of Antarctica.
Me as a Teacher
My career in teaching started in 2011 when I joined Teach for America. I spent the next six years teaching high school social studies until I made the switch to teach English online with VIPkid and then live abroad. With my lessons you will benefit from having not only conversations, but also learning more about political and current events. I very much enjoy political and historical conversations where appropriate as this also allows us to exchange information about each other's cultures.
My lessons & teaching style
You will find that in my lessons I focus a lot on helping you to learn new vocabulary. I find that continuing to improve one's vocabulary prepares them for the best success whether it be academic, business or even just to travel. I also enjoy assigning short readings as this provides content that we can discuss during our lessons. Content is chosen based on the interests of the student :-)

Excellent Teacher!
I booked him for my son who is a beginner. The lesson was very engaging and noticeably progressive. As an English language teacher myself for more than 22 years, I find Steven to be highly competent and effective. Had I met him two years earlier when I was the director of an English language center, I would have offered him a teaching position. I highly recommend him.
