About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2022Interest topicBusiness & FinanceTechArtFoodTravel
I'm a native English speaker from America with a neutral, North American, English accent. I am originally from San Antonio, Texas, but I am currently traveling in Europe with my wife. I've traveled extensively throughout the world: along the Andes mountains from Colombia to Argentina, throughout South East Asia, Europe, and Russia. I lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for two years. While there, I taught guitar at a local music school and started a cashew butter business. My wife and I also lived in Tel Aviv, Israel for eight years where I taught English online and in person at an international English school. The past twenty years I have written and recorded over one hundred original songs.Me as a Teacher
I am a teacher at heart. I love to teach and help people, it comes naturally to me. There is nothing more rewarding than helping a student achieve their goals, satisfy their curiosity, and gain confidence. I have taught English professionally for over eight years, both online, and in person, to students of all ages from different countries and cultures. I am currently teaching English at the Berlitz Language Academy in Tel Aviv, Israel, as well as teaching with italki. I have also given guitar lessons to students of all ages throughout the world, and taught professionally at a Music & Arts school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, for two years.My lessons & teaching style
I am constantly learning myself, whether it's a new language, culture, custom, or idea, so I understand what it's like to be a student and a beginner, and have an ingrained empathy for my students. I am always patient, and create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, where students are not afraid to challenge themselves and take chances. I always remain professional and respect the students' time, but also want lessons to be fun and engaging. I understand that speaking with a native English speaker can be intimidating and anxiety producing for some people. If you have these apprehensions, please know that I respect and admire your courage and ambition!My teaching material

Zach is a very educational and informative teacher/professor. His sessions are established/run differently depending on your current level or target. Meaning if you communicate with him about what your goals are, he will dynamically modify a session to help you achieve the goals that you have. Also, he is a professional-mannered speaker. If you want to grow your English for your business, please check with him as well.

Hey guys!
I am writing a review after 30 lessons with Zach!
I tried taking lessons from many tutors on different platforms and Zach turned out to be the best.
The first thing you need to know is that for all 30 lessons, Zach has always been punctual and prepared for the lesson.
The second is that you can communicate with Zach on any topics that are interesting to you, in a simple way.
He knows how to support any conversation.
Zach is very enthusiastic and responsible. Step by step, Zach will help you master real English by correcting your speech and mistakes.
If you take a lesson from this guy, I promise you won't regret it!
