About Me
italki teacher since Aug 10, 2016Interest topicGamingTechHistory
I always accept new students, but be prepared to book classes at least ONE MONTH in advance.
This is not always necessary, but it's also not uncommon.
I work the same 8 hours every day, 5 times a week, and do not make exceptions to this schedule for old students, and will not do so for new students either!
Instead, you can spend the time from our trial until classes start by working with the given resources, doing exercises, sending me questions, writing and submitting texts. The wait until the classes start will be worth it!Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I will always do my best to facilitate you learning the language, and help you to the best of my ability.
However, there are a few things you will have to keep in mind, and that is all the work required to learn a language. There are two things in particular that are needed, time and some form of consistent effort. Just speaking with a teacher does not mean you will magically learn a language, you have to put in a lot of time and effort on your own as well.
Spending 30 minutes each day (3.5 hours a week) is better than sitting down and spending 8 hours each Saturday.
If you do your part, I will do mine and help you along the way to make it as easy as possible for you.My lessons & teaching style
Two types of classes:
Professional Classes, we use one of three books (provided by me) to progress from whatever your level is, to a more advanced one, with three simple steps.
1. You have to read the textbook and try to understand the texts, words, grammar, and topics. How much work you put in is up to you, but more is better.
2. Do exercises!
3. We have classes together where we use the language, speak about what you studied, and I answer and help with questions and problems you have.
Conversational classes. Focus is on speaking and free conversations. If you want to talk about something specific, it is on you to bring it up and prepare for it.My teaching material
