About Me
italki teacher since Dec 31, 2021Me as a Teacher
I think that teaching is more about bringing knowledge out of a student instead of putting it into them. This is especially true with language. A student will learn to speak a new language by trying.
My job as a teacher is to guide and correct the student as they continue to practice English.
My firm belief is that a student can understand a language far more quickly if they get used to using the language and understand how different words have different meanings depending on how they are used.My lessons & teaching style
It is better to learn one or two things well than to learn many things poorly.
For this reason, my lessons will be focused on a handful of areas in which the student would like to improve in. We will spend 10-20 minutes on each weakness in order to give plenty of time to address it.
The strategy is to select a given weakness or area that needs improvement and either create or imagine a context in which that part of language would be used.
For example, if the student is not comfortable with asking for directions, we might imagine that we are standing on the side of the road and that I am a stranger trying to tell them where to go.
We can also use real-life materials and examples.5.0
