About Me
italki teacher since Mar 17, 2023Interest topicMusicArtGaming
I'm a very curious person that's always willing to learn something new. While being mostly quiet and keeping to myself I'm also very passionate about certain topics like language, psychology, science, religion and music. I'm also extremely close with my family but every once in a while I try to branch out to meet new people for new experiences!Me as a Teacher
I try to treat people how I would like to be treated. Hence I try to be patient, attentive, caring, encouraging and fun! Mistakes are super important in the learning process and I truly encourage it, we learn from failures, rarely from success! No one knows everything and we all make mistakes so there is no shame while learning a new language!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are catered to everyday conversation since that's the type most people use everyday. However this can be adjusted to the student's current needs. Making the student feel comfortable and important is key to the learning process. I consider myself more casual than professional, like a friend! Friends understand each other and want the best for the other person. I try to teach in that manner. Also I encourage that we have no sound during classes since ASL is not a spoken language. I believe this puts the student in the right mindset.My teaching material

Simply amazing! I seriously believe that my signing will be at a different level by the end of the month with Omar. I can absorb the new words I learned by reviewing and copying in class. The class is very structured and incredibly well-paced. It doesn't feel like an hour at all and I wish it was longer. Omar is very professional but also chill and has a great sense of humor. Looking forward to the next class!

Super happy that I chose Omar for the first class! The takeaway from audio is very useful because it makes me focus on the signs. I use sign language with a friend who can speak English. I didn't realize how much I relied on my friend's speech until today. Omar is very professional, patient, and fun! The conversation-style type of class is exactly what I need. I look forward to having more classes on a regular basis, and I am sure my friend will notice my progress.
