About Me
italki teacher since Jan 19, 2015InterestsTechTravelMusic
I'm currently doing a master's degree in robotics & AI.
I previously worked as a software engineer focusing on computer vision.
My favorite part about teaching online is being able to connect with people all around the world. I enjoy speaking with other programmers and IT specialists, as well as getting to know people from other walks of life.
I am a language learner too and am currently learning Finnish, the language of my host country.Me as a Teacher
Please don't be deterred by my old video. It was recorded in 2014 with a cheap webcam. I now have much better videoconferencing hardware.
I previously spent many years teaching English both privately and in language schools in Poland and Spain. I prefer giving private lessons to teaching in the classroom, as they allow me to really connect with people as individuals. I try to get to know my students on a personal level and be sensitive to their learning styles, personalities, and goals.
My favorite way of teaching is through discussions about any interesting topic. I note errors in grammar and pronunciation without interrupting, but pause from time to time to briefly go over corrections.My lessons & teaching style
I think it's a shame that so few teachers make the effort to correct their students' mistakes. In so doing, they allow learners to form and strengthen bad habits. I believe it's important to know when we are making mistakes, so that we can fix them and then speak with confidence. However, I try to balance the amount of corrections I give to avoid frustration. I select the most important grammar and pronunciation points to focus on, rather than nitpicking every single error. For students who enjoy more detailed corrections, I can also share my complete notes after each lesson.4.9
