About Me
italki teacher since Feb 1, 2022Interest topicFoodBusiness & FinanceScience
Howdy, students! I am Toni, a native Texan living abroad in Colombia, where I've been since 2018. I live in the countryside with my cat and a flourishing collection of plants. I have an eternal passion and copious amounts of energy for teaching and learning, and I love sharing both! In my spare time, you can find me relishing a good book, hiking in nature, cooking vegan meals, gardening, dabbling in artisanal projects, ax-throwing, or practicing natural horsemanship. I look forward to meeting you soon!Me as a Teacher
I am patient. This is one of the most popular comments I receive from students, and I am proud to embody a kind and encouraging approach. I understand what it is like to walk in your shoes learning a foreign language, and I am here to guide you along your journey. I'm renowned for being easily understood. As a Southerner, I don't speak swiftly but will compensate with new phrases and idioms. I hope to be a friend you will remember for many years, long after you speak fluently. So let's get in touch! Please send me a message regarding my availability; I am often available outside my hours, and I frequently offer package deal$!My lessons & teaching style
I guide student-led conversational classes, which will feel like you are talking to a friend. We will use many examples from your own life to personalize your lessons and make challenging topics more memorable and easier to digest. I utilize many different tools for visual, auditory, and even kinesthetic learners! I also love sharing the resources I have collected over the years and cherry-picking materials that will pique your interest and keep you hooked on speaking English. Ask me for recommendations tailored specifically to you!My teaching material

Professor Tony was great. It was my first class after a period of study without much conversation practice and I'm really enjoying it. She was very attentive and suited my level of English. I recommend!
