About Me
italki teacher since Feb 2, 2022Me as a Teacher
For 6 months, I was teaching English and life coaching to over 100 teenagers in Kyrgyzstan. This was a truly inspiring experience, to be able to positively influence these students lives to help direct them to a brighter future. This was a very creative style of teaching that helped improve my improvisation and how to build a students confidence. It hugely improved my teaching ability.
My previous teaching experience before this, consists of teaching at an advanced Business and English school located in Kyrgyzstan also, this experience was total of 6 months.
This experience improved my organisational skills and allowed me to create a more structured lesson.My lessons & teaching style
Many of the students I have taught really thrived when doing conversational lessons as they best believe it prepares them for more real life settings. My teaching style would usually consist of the use of authentic material as I believe it provides much more interesting context for the students and allows them to be more motivated and inspired whilst learning English. I find students learn best when they are given the freedom grow as a student.
I want to be viewed as a coach, to help you become an improved version of yourself whilst developing your English ability. Overall, I am very relaxed and friendly and I believe I am very patient so I will give you as much time as you need.My teaching material

Work Experience
2021 - 2021
English Teacher Business and English SchoolThis experience truly inspired me to become a certified English teacher and help improve students English from all over the globe. I believe it will help me to teach on Italki as I feel it prepared me to be able to deal with a variety of situations involving students and how to deal with all ages. From 4 years old to 40 years old, I taught a variety of lessons where I had to be prepared for different levels and abilities.
This improved my overall patience when dealing with students needs.
2022 - 2022
Private Tutor Business and English SchoolFor 2 months, I was tutoring students, they were coming to my apartment for private tutor sessions. The sessions were centred around improving the students confidence when speaking English. They feel they really benefited from this way of learning, I would give corrections when needed and really enjoyed the sessions together. It improved my patience when dealing with students.
2022 - 2022
English Teacher and Life Coach English BazaI feel very grateful to have this position within this company, to have the chance to help build a brighter future for these students living in Kyrgyzstan is truly inspiring. This opportunity is allowing me to become a more confident and well spoken English tutor therefore allowing me to be better prepared for italki. It is giving me so many ideas for activities within lessons for students to better improve their overall English ability whilst making the lessons an enjoyable experience.
