About Me
italki teacher since Sep 14, 2021InterestsMusicTravelArt
Hello! My name is Robert. I'm originally from Texas but I live in Mexico at the moment. I've been a teacher for over 20 years now, eventhough I'm new here on Italki. I have taught many different nationalities from all over the world. I have extensive experience teaching IELTS, TOEFL, and Business courses. I also speak Spanish, French, Portuguese, Indonesian and I am learning Greek and German. If you would like to book a class outside of my availability, please write me. Most of the time, we can find a time.Me as a Teacher
Most of my students come to me because they want to improve their speaking skills, so this is where I focus most of the time. We spend time on pronunciation and accuracy. I think most of my students would say that I am patient and I have a good sense of humor. If you would like to book a class outside of my availability, please write me. Most of the time, I can offer you another time.My lessons & teaching style
Most of our lesson is focused on speaking and pronunciation, but if you need grammar... we can do that too!! I have been teaching online for many years and i have good use of technology and good equipment, which can make all the difference in the world in the virtual classroom. If you would like to book a class outside of my availability, please write me. Most of the time, we can find a time.My teaching material
