About Me
italki teacher since Feb 26, 2022Interest topicWritingReadingTravel
I'm Samantha! I'm a writer & photographer from the state of California (USA). I am a "digital nomad" and move from country to country often. I'm currently traveling in South America :)
I have a BA in Sociology as well as a TEFL certificate. I am trained to teach English as a foreign language and am here to help you!
I've traveled throughout several countries π¦π· π§πΈ π§π· π¨π± π¨πΏ π©π° π©πͺ π²π½ π΅πΎ πΊπΎ and many states within the USA πΊπΈ
Being a native English speaker currently learning Spanish, I understand the joys (and struggles) of language learning.
Fun fact: I've taught dance and theater arts in the past. I also enjoy reading comics in my free time.Me as a Teacher
I like to keep lessons fun while packing them full of challenging conversation.
Feel free to ask me questions and let me know how YOU would like to learn. My lessons are tailored to your needs. That being said, please be mindful of which lesson you book. I offer an "informal" conversation lesson as well as a traditional English lesson tailored to specific goals.
Let's chat and let me know what you need!
I believe language is best learned by immersion. While translation may be necessary at times, students will better grasp their target language by diving in head first. Learning any new language expands your horizons. Let's learn!My lessons & teaching style
I currently offer two classes. There is a significant discount for repeat students who book packages! :)
Class types:
"Let's Talk About Something Fun!" is an informal conversation hour that will help you improve your fluency and hold more meaningful conversations in English.
"General English Lessons Suited to Your Needs" is a more formal approach and will provide you with in depth practice suited to your goals! We will identify your needs and get your English going.
While challenging, learning should be fun and stress free! As a teacher I aim to create a friendly, fun and fruitful learning experience. Let's do this!My teaching material

Work Experience
2019 - 2021
Case Manager Momentum WORK, Inc.I was responsible for managing 140 clients and writing their personal reports. I have plenty of experience with business English, and writing professionally. This will help students looking to improve their academic and professional level English. I also worked with individuals with disabilities and helped them to improve academic and life skills. This experience helped to polish my teaching skills and can easily be transferred to teaching students English.
