About Me
italki teacher since Nov 8, 2024InterestsWritingTravelTechMedical & HealthcareReading
I've been passionate about learning foreign languages for over 8 years, and it has become both a hobby and a lifelong pursuit. After dedicating so much time to mastering languages, I realized I wanted to help others to learn languages more effectively. This led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in German and Portuguese Language, where I gained the skills and knowledge to guide others on their language-learning journey.Me as a Teacher
In my experience as a teacher, I have primarily worked with levels A2.1 to B2.1. I prepare my lessons based on the goals and language needs of my students.
As a German teacher with experience teaching Spanish and Portuguese speakers, I understand the challenges and advantages that come with learning German as a second language. I use your native language as a reference point to simplify complex grammar and vocabulary, making learning more intuitive and effective. This approach has proven to be particularly helpful in bridging the gap between languages and accelerating language acquisitionMy lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I encourage active participation through question-based learning, role-plays, cartoons, images and dialogues that simulate real-life situations. This approach helps you to develop both speaking and listening skills while building practical language abilities .
It may be hard at first to express exactly what you want to say, but over time and with practice it becomes easier.
I believe we should see frustration and mistakes as opportunities to learn and to develop skills. So let's allow ourselves to make mistakes and learn from them.My teaching material
