About Me
italki teacher since Jun 7, 2016InterestsMusicReadingTravel
I love being part of an international community, which means I love talking about a variety of cultural interests. If there's something new I can learn about a culture, I don't hesitate to do so. Other interests include traveling, dancing, music, art, and sea life. I traveled to Belize for six years and to Mexico for two years, so this has had an impact on my focus of interests. A few other things I'm widening my horizons in is construction and landscaping, since I have been volunteering in these two areas for a couple of years. I love talking about children, family, and important values in life. Really, anything you have on your mind is also what I want to talk about!Me as a Teacher
Teaching has been a passion of mine from a very early age. I love watching people benefit and change for the better due to the education they are receiving. I started helping people benefit from Biblical topics over twenty years ago and until now I have taught other things such as life values, English, and American Sign Language. I obtained my TESOL/TEFL nine years ago to qualify me to professionally teach English as a second language. I have been actively involved in learning and teaching ASL for 15 years.My lessons & teaching style
I cover every topic imaginable, from lifestyles to trucks to computers and so on. I learn from you as much as you learn from me. I cater each lesson to individual needs, such as grammar improvement, pronunciation improvement, reading, and so on. I further break it down into specifics. For example, if you need help with past tense verbs, we will work on this by using example sentences, reading excerpts, or you telling me a story in past tense. Also music, videos, and games...I have it all!My teaching material

Great trial lesson! I was a bit nervous at first but Katy was friendly and approachable so I felt comfortable signing with her on skype. Just what I'm looking for, someone to help me practice and improve my ASL. Look forward to more great lessons!

it was a very nice talk with Katy. she is sweet and warm-hearted. she knew how to ask questions and kept me talking. an experienced teacher! I did most of the talking and she corrected my mistakes, taught me how to express more properly. I like this way of teaching the most.

I think Katy has a natural ability to teaching. She can drive the conversion and upshot is an enjoyable but really instructive dialog.
I highly recommend Katy for anyone!

Great lesson today! We're starting to communicate and put sentences together. It won't be long now until I feel less nervous communicating with ASL! Katy is amazing!
