About Me
italki teacher since Dec 13, 2021
Before starting my journey here on italki, I was a Pre-Kindergarten teacher for over 7 years and also worked in Elementary Special Education. I am passionate about teaching and learning and would love to share these passion with you! I'm a very patient person, easy to talk with and open to any type of conversation. I enjoy working out, spending time with family, cooking, baking, camping, gardening and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I love most all types of music. My passion lately has been teaching myself Spanish and German.
Me as a Teacher
I think conversations are the best way to teach and learn another language. I like to go with the flow, and want you to feel at ease while talking. I understand that not every student is on the same level, so I will adjust my pace of speaking to match your level. All of my classes are conversation based.
If interested in grammar, please know, instead of teaching specific grammar rules or terms, I have focused classes on a certain grammar subjects. For example, if you are struggling with the past tense, I will ask questions specific to the past tense. This will get you thinking, talking and using the past tense. This will give you better practice with context and meaning.
My lessons & teaching style
If you have a topic you want to talk about, we will do that. If you want more structure for conversations, I can send you an article/short story to read, then we can discuss that article during class. If you would like to work on listening skills, I can send you a video to watch, then we will discuss that during the next class. I am open and ready for our next conversation. I hope to see you in class! : )

It has been my fist class with Jamie and, although I was trembling with fear at first, I calmed down perfectly after just 5 minutes thanks to her supportive attitude. It has been eventually a relaxed conversation that probably has convinced me that I'm a better speaker of English than I am actually. That's the feeling I needed to go forward, just speaking without worries!

I really liked getting in class with Jaime, in this class we talked about my journey so far, and I can talk about my experiences in this journey, I felt that Jaime was very interested in what I was talking about. When I talked to her, I spend very time in italki, searching for a teacher that understand me, and that had a mesh with me, and finally, I found her.
I'm very very thankful for this, and of course, I will keep my journey with her. I aprrecciate all what she did for me so far and I excited to have more and more class with her.
