About Me
italki teacher since Apr 23, 2022Interest topicTravelSportsFood
I'm a 27-year-old native English speaker from Sudan. I'm energetic, humorous and curious and have a young spirit. I get along well with adults, teens and kids. Having lived and studied in 5 different countries by the age of 18, I grew fond of languages and different cultures. Since then I've travelled a lot more and am in love with teaching as a means of learning about different cultures and generations. Exploring the English language with both kids and adults has always given me much joy and has been as rewarding as ever!Me as a Teacher
Hello! I'm Umiema From Sudan. I have excellent communication skills and enjoy teaching students of all ages and cultural backgrounds. I've taught young learners, IELTS and all levels of ESL both face-to-face and online. My approach to teaching is to make it fun and interactive so that students find learning enjoyable and are motivated to continue their English language journey and improve through consistency and practice. Teaching is not only a job but also a passion of mine and helping students achieve their goals is my number one priority.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is influenced by my student's age, desires and deadlines. I offer lessons aiding students with homework, give tutoring, conversation practice speech coaching lessons on culture, travel and many other common and niche topics. Over time I analyze how students respond to different methods of learning and incorporate more of their preferred methods into lessons. I pack lessons grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing exercises and games, also giving students additional work. Tracking progress is vital therefore I test students weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly depending on their needs. A record is kept and shared with students along with corrective feedback.My teaching material

Certificates
6-month Teacher-training program ELICOS Language Centre 2018The aim of the course was to get new teaching hands on experience teaching by shadowing the director of studies and experienced teaching in and out of the classroom. We were to observe and implement the teaching methods we learned on a daily basis with feedback from the director. During this time I learned skills such as lesson planning, warm up, teaching grammar, teaching conversational skills,creating tests, keeping track of students progress through testing and providing feedback to students.

My son Hamza had a great lesson with Umiema 👌🏼 The class was really interesting and informative.
Umiema was able to attract Hamza’s attention throughout the class time.
We look forward to having more classes with Umiema.

Umiema是很好的老师，有可爱的笑容。我还不能流利使用英语，而Umiema会调整到我听得懂的水平来对话，在我思考的时候也会耐心等待。谢谢！
