About Me
italki teacher since Mar 17, 2022Me as a Teacher
A quick overview:
-More than 3 years of experience working with adults (students/professionals) & children, including work in Spain as a linguistic consultant coaching business professionals to present better in English.
-During this time, I've also been preparing learners for Cambridge exams (A2 ket, B1 pet, B2 first certificate, C1 advance, C2 proficiency) and ielts, as well as coaching learners to improve their overall fluency and confidence with the English language.
-I offer additional help in pronunciation and accent remediation.
-My methodology utilizes brain-based principles applied to language learning.My lessons & teaching style
Each class is different, creative, and personally prepared by me using resources from my professional career, including various multimedia materials. I am an adaptable and flexible teacher and always open to student suggestions.
I always prepare my classes taking into account the personality, interests, and profile of my students to help them learn the language more easily. Before our first session, I will send a survey to complete which serves as a mini needs analysis. This allows the student and myself to begin working on the language goals from the very first session!My teaching material
