About Me

italki teacher since Dec 13, 2021

Hello and thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Ethan and I am from Melbourne, Australia. I studied history, literature, and politics at university, so I love to read and learn about other cultures. Curiosity and kindness are qualities I value above all others, and I try to model them myself and encourage them in others every day. I also love music, film, and video games. I also learned Russian at university and continue to study it to this day, so I am very interested in the language learning process and believe the best way to teach others is to always be a learner yourself. I know how difficult and gratifying the process is, and I'd love to share the ups and downs with you.

Me as a Teacher

My approach is based on what has worked for me in the past, what the experts say works, but also whatever your preferred methods may be. It is clear to me that the best way to make progress is to cater lessons to learners' interests, so that they can put into practice what they've learned in the contexts that make the most sense for them. I have received formal training in English language education for adults (CELTA) and have recently finished my Master of Teaching, so I am trained in a range of methods to help you reach your goals. I have taught both adults and secondary school students both online and in person with great results.

My lessons & teaching style

Based on your needs I can adapt a range of materials to improve your target areas. Whether you want to improve your reading, writing, listening, or speaking (ideally all of the above!), we will find an approach that suits you and helps you progress. Our goal will be to get you to produce as much of the language as possible, with as little of me as possible - I want you to show off! For better or for worse, there is nothing like trying out the language for yourself to get things to stick once and for all. The less we fear mistakes, the better language users we become. Thanks for reading and I hope to meet you soon!

Today I had my first lesson. Ethan was friendly and maintained an unobtrusive dialogue. At the end of the meeting, Ethan provided me with some materials to help me learn English. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

Today I had a very informative lesson with Ethan. Ethan helped me understand several behavioral patterns in Australia's online marketplaces. Ethan continued to improve my speech by helping me find more appropriate phrases.

Another great lesson. Ethan did a great job of describing the differences in phrases that are difficult for me to understand. We had a casual conversation, during which Ethan corrected my mistakes, making my speech more natural.
