About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2024Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessTravelFilms & TV SeriesWriting
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. I am not a strict teacher, but I think pronunciation and spelling is very important. English is a difficult language to master but it is certainly worth the effort.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed. Conversation is important to get to know my students, however I think reading is very important and therefore I enjoy listening to the student read, and then offering commendation and then suggestions or correction where needed. I can also be very flexible so if there is a particular area needing special attention, we will concentrate on that.My teaching material
