About Me
italki teacher since Nov 4, 2022
I am a teacher by profession and I got a Bachelor degree in Elementary Education major in General Education. I am married and have one child. I like teaching so much, that's why I chose to work as an ESL teacher. I have been teaching since 2011 to student with different nationalities and I enjoy it a lot. I am a TESOL and TEFL certified. And I want to learn more about the culture of different countries . I like reading inspirational quotes as well.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I believe that teaching comes with a great responsibility and it needs to be done successfully by working hand-in-hand (teacher and student). Teaching for me is a two-way process. I am a very flexible teacher and I don't put pressure on my students. I let students explore and show their creativeness in learning. I always encourage my students to be confident and express themselves more by sharing their experiences. I always guide them to be the best version of themselves.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that teaching styles vary depending on the nature of the subject matter, the phase of the lesson, and other factors. There are three teaching styles that I learned through the years; first is the directing style where the teacher tells the students what to do, how to do it, and when it needs to be done, either by audio/visual presentations or demonstrations. Second is the discussing style where the teacher encourages critical thinking and lively discussion by asking students to respond to challenging questions. And the third one is the delegating style where the teacher assigns tasks that students work on independently, either individually or in groups.
