About Me
italki teacher since Feb 16, 2017InterestsHistoryPets & AnimalsScienceTravelReading
My name is Ms. Chelsea, I first taught English as a second language when I traveled to New York in 2004. Teaching is my passion. I use high-quality curricula and educational websites to guide my students' English education.
I enjoy the beauty of nature and find biomimicry useful and fascinating. I grew up with a camera and journal in my hands. In high school, I was the first freshman to be allowed to write for the school newspaper! I've also written for educational blogs.
Traveling to experience new languages and cultures fascinates me! I'm not adventurous when it comes to trying new food, but I am adventurous when it comes to new animals. I especially enjoy visiting historical sites.Me as a Teacher
To begin, I'm here to encourage your child to speak, read, write, GROW IN CONFIDENCE, and enjoy their learning.
I'm a native English speaker living in Illinois. I have completed training in public speaking, teaching methods, and education practicums based on applied neuroscience and linguistics.
I use up-to-date curricula to efficiently use lesson time. Before choosing to become a professional teacher, I was a nanny. Helping children to learn is a passion of mine. We celebrate learning milestones as well as losing teeth and growing.
Lastly, my classroom is a safe space. I have three cats who occasionally join the lessons and I also have books, whiteboards, puppets, and posters.My lessons & teaching style

Chelsea is the best teacher that I have met on this platform, iTalki. She leads the class with a very considerable approach. Strongly recommend her if you need customized training in English!

I really enjoy my lessons with Chelsea. She is always in a great mood. We combine grammar, listening, reading, and conversation in a way that works best for me. The structure of the lessons is flexible based on my preferences, and Chelsea is great at adapting and improvising. She always corrects my mispronunciations in a positive and encouraging way, so I can have fun while learning something new. 😊
