About Me
italki teacher since Jan 6, 2022Interest topicArtTravelPets & Animals
Hello! My name is Smrity. Nature, creativity and good food make my life meaningful. My hobbies and interests include travelling, painting, sewing, knitting, cooking, hiking, trekking and of course, teaching English.
I love meeting new people from different cultures. It makes me realise what a small but magnificently diverse world we live in. English has been my tool for leading an independent life and doing the things I love. My dream is to live an organic, simple life amidst nature where I can garden and entertain guests. I also co-own a soon-to-be-launched sustainable clothing line.Me as a Teacher
As a native speaker, I can help you think, see, smell, feel, and hear through the English language. Why choose me as your tutor? I am patient, passionate and always smiling. I’ll make sure you can make as many mistakes as you want and grow from them. Comfort and confidence are a must during my lessons. I would like the classroom to be a safe space where you can share and express your thoughts openly. I am intuitive to different people’s needs and customize lesson plans accordingly. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, there’s always room for improvement. :)
P.S: I propose an informal teaching environment so that my students feel free to speak their minds without hesitating!My lessons & teaching style
I believe in the power of conversing. It has built my students' confidence and ability to express themselves organically. I pay close attention to grammar, speech, pronunciation and tone during the lesson and provide constructive feedback towards the end. We either have structured or spontaneous conversations. Grammar rules are explained with patience and simplicity, thereafter my student and I make conversation to exercise them. Topics are chosen based on what my student's difficulties are. However, I pay additional attention to tenses and conditionals as they have a strong foundation in everyday speech. My students have noticed a significant improvement after multiple speaking sessions.My teaching material

Thanks for giving me the nice lesson.
Her policy on teaching English via italki seems nice to me as she reviews our conversation and gives it to me in text format.
And above all, she's so friendly person that I can overcome my mental block on making mistakes in the conversation.
