About Me
italki teacher since Sep 8, 2021InterestsReadingFoodSports & FitnessScienceFilms & TV Series
I live in Serbia, I am 31 years old, and I am a father of one. My interests are music, books, sports, film and travel. I have grown up through exposure to American culture, especially music. Since primary school I was fairly certain that my vocation was going to be related to the English language or music. At the end of high school I started considering a career in teaching and I have been pursuing that career path since.Me as a Teacher
I have native-like pronunciation and I consider myself a near-native speaker. I have a degree in teaching ESL and my experience includes working in public primary schools, online schools in Asia and colleges in Serbia. My student year range is from 4 onward. I am very patient and supportive with young students. Sometimes, I get goofy. One of my goals is to get to know a student better so as to establish what animates a student the most. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons usually begin with light chat to warm-up and practice speaking skills if the student's level meets the requirements. We briefly proceed onto previous vocabulary/structure review and then we start new vocabulary/structure acquisition with the use of realia and other authentic material (very short videos/animations; flashcards; toys, songs, screensharing etc.) or total physical response techniques (mimicry). Afterwards we have reading practice (a story/situational dialogue with the target structures/vocabulary). The practice activities are always in the form of a competitive or a puzzle game where the student is prompted to use the newly-acquired structures.My teaching material
