About Me
italki teacher since Feb 28, 2022
**I have decided to take a break from italki teaching for the moment. I will be back and taking lesson requests by the end of June. Hope to see you then! In the meantime, here’s a little bit about me and my teaching style.**
Hi there — I'm Elena, a native English speaker from Philadelphia. Currently, I am on a gap year from college, but normally I'm an undergrad at the University of Chicago where I plan to get a degree in urban studies.
I love having conversations about movies, music, current events...really anything and everything going on in the world!
Me as a Teacher
I'm interested in helping people practice their English on italki because i’ve spent the majority of this past year living, traveling, and volunteering with non-native English speakers. While on a gap year from university, I’ve done work exchanges at hostels in Spain and Canada. In these experiences, I met almost zero Americans, and therefore learned how to communicate with and learn from people who come from different languages and cultures. I found it extremely rewarding, fun, and interesting to get to know these friends by attempting to speak their language or helping them to speak my own.
My lessons & teaching style
I have experience with reading/writing tutoring to kids in Philadelphia, so I plan to use the same methods I learned in that job on here - by helping you!
A lesson might look something like this:
- Comprehension: You pick a topic, then I'll find an English video, article, podcast, poem, song, etc.. based on your interests.
- Conversation: We get to talk all about the topic you chose :)
- Further Practice: We will make flashcards, a worksheet, or some kind of material to help you practice vocabulary and grammar related to the topic in our conversation.

Elena’s class was awesome! She taught my class with the topic I’m interested in, and definitely great at explaining the words that I don’t know. Many thanks!:)
