About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2024InterestsReadingMusicSports & FitnessFilms & TV SeriesTravel
I am semi retired. I love to travel and have visited many countries worldwide. I have compassion for people because the world has many challenges, so I focus on positive events and the good qualities I see in my students.Me as a Teacher
I’m very patient with my students because I enjoy hearing what they have to say. I have met many students from all over the world. Learning any language is a challenge and English certainly has its share of quirks, but it is certainly worth the effort to learn it.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed. Conversation is important to get to know my students, so I may ask a few simple questions to draw them out and ascertain what level they are on and what their goals are. I can also be very flexible so if there is a particular area needing special attention, we will concentrate on that.My teaching material

The teacher gradually tests the level of difficulty you can reach in reading. He helps you with pronunciation and explains very well any doubts that arise. He encourages you to speak.

I just had my first lesson with Teacher Bob. He asked about my goals and what I needed to improve. He is patient, and despite my limited English, we managed to communicate well. He had already prepared exercises for the first lesson and gave me the option to start with them or have a conversation.
I’m happy with the lesson and will definitely book more classes with him.
