Hi! My name is Ashley, and I teach English on italki. I am originally from a rural town in New York State, and I currently live in New York City. I also lived in Chicago, Illinois during university, which is in the middle of the United States. There, I studied political science and economics, and I took a lot of language classes. I have taken ten years of Spanish, one year of Arabic, and a semester of French. I love learning languages because it helps me learn about a ton of different cultures around the world, and it allows me to speak to people in their local languages while traveling. Also, it allows me to appreciate music and movies from different countries. I want my students to feel comfortable practicing English with me. I know that speaking in a foreign language can be scary, but I try to be encouraging to help my students build confidence. I help students learn new vocabulary and grammar through casual conversations. For higher level English speakers, I will point out ways make phrases sound more "fluent" when possible. My lessons are in the form of conversations. I am happy to speak with students of all levels, from beginner to advanced. If you are working on specific vocabulary, we can tailor our conversation topics to allow you to use your new vocabulary words. If not, we can speak casually about hobbies, work, daily life, culture, and more to build your confidence in speaking. I will help you fix mistakes and teach you phrases to sound more like a native English...

Today I had another amazing conversation class with Ashley and we finished our conversation about THE TWOS, how the number two in enneagram are known. We talked about their essence, their core interests , their levels of health and their growth. At their best, they become deeply unselfish, humble, and altruistic, giving uncondicional love to self and others. Feel it is a privilege to be there to help. On the other hand, when they are unhealthy, they become manipulative, self-serving, undermine people, making belittling , disparaging remarks, domineering and coercive and demanding repayment for old debts. About tips to grow, we talked about things they have to do and avoid. That they have to think before helping others, to help without any expectation on retuns and avoid being frustrated when the help is not accepted. For those who want to learn more about enneagram, I love ENNEAGRAM INSTITUTE. As far as I know, the best for this subject.

Today I had another awesome conversation class with Ashley and we talked about many topics, but mainly about the number one in ENNEAGRAM(THE ONES). To summarize it, THE ONES have their vices and virtues like all the other types. The ONES have a strong sense of right and wrong, inspiring, humane, hopeful, self-disciplened, always want to be fair, objective, ethical, idealist, afraid to make mistakes. When they are unhealthy, they are hightly dogmatic, intolerant, inflexible, they think they the truth itself, everyone else is wrong, very severe in judments, become obsessive about imperfections and the wrongdoings of others, although they may all into contradictory actions, hypocrically doing the opposite of what they preach. Here we have some tips for them to grow: learn to relax, mercifully, the salvation of the world does not depend on them,

Today I had another great and productive conversation class with my american teacher Ashley and talked about the number two in ENNEAGRAM (THE TWOS). They are known by THE HELPER. They are great people, since they are healthy, like all the nine types. They are generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing and possessive. Their basic fear are being unwanted and unworthy of being loved.The TWO with a one-wing is a “servant” , while the TWO with a three-wing is a “host/hostess. Their key motivations are want to be loved, to express their feelings for others, to be needed and appreciated, to get others to respond to them, to vindicaste their claims about themselves. They have a really great heart and are great professionals in this field, like doctors, nurses, teachers and all the people who takes care of others. I’m using materials from “THE ENNEAGRAM INSTITUTE”

Today I had another conversation class with Ashley and we talked mostly about ENNEAGRAM, a topic that I love talking about. We begun talking about the number one or THE ONES. They are THE REFORMER. ONES are conscientious and ethical with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders, advogares for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid of making a mistake. Well-organized, orderly, they try to mantain high standards, but can slip into being critical and perfectionist. They typically have problems with resentment and impatience. At their best: wise, discerning, realistic, and noble. Can be morally heroic.
