About Me
italki teacher since Apr 18, 2022Me as a Teacher
I am interested in learning what a student's personal goals are and how they hope to use English in the future and from this develop a work plan to help achieve those goals.
I have an Associate Teachers degree in Speech and Drama and can provide exercises to assist with pronunciation.
From my time working at Embassies I can offer guidance and practice in conversations focused on networking/ building professional relationships.
My classroom is a safe space. There are no stupid questions. Mistakes are an excellent way to learn! I believe providing a relaxed and fun environment is the most productive way to learn.My lessons & teaching style
I offer two types of lessons.
The first is conversational lessons as I believe it is the most natural and helpful way to learn a language. We can talk about whatever topics you like. But if you are not sure what you want to discuss I have plenty of conversation-starter questions and activities. As we converse I will make notes of your areas of improvement for us to discuss later rather than interrupting you.
The second lesson is a more structured, made up of various speech exercises to help with those more difficult to pronounce sounds in the English language. For these lessons I draw on my experience as a Speech and Drama teacher.
Having fun and enjoying the lesson is my priority.My teaching material

Had a great pronunciation lesson with Helen, and I could tell she is very knowledgeable and experienced in teaching how articulators should be positioned in order to sound better and clearer when speaking English. Also, she is very friendly, supportive and patient, and gave me huge encouragement and practical advice on how i can improve.
