Hello! 안녕하세요~ Hola! こんにちは!Привет!
My name is Arlena, and I am passionate about helping and meeting people from all over the world!
My favorite topics to discuss? Music, culture, movies/tv shows, jokes, and food. (yum!) But I LOVE music! And I'm also interested in learning about whatever you (my students) would like to tell me! 😄
What motivates me to teach? Not only do I get to help all of you learn English, but I also learn from all of you! Since I started teaching myself Korean and speaking with English language learners, I also learned more about myself and my native language. For that, I'm truly grateful!
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching English for several years now, and I enjoy getting to help my students learn English. ^_^
I am a very patient teacher, so don't worry if you make some mistakes! I'm here to help you. I believe that language learning should be fun and not a stressful experience.
Making mistakes is okay because that's how we learn and grow! I want to encourage all of you to never give up on your journey to English fluency (however you choose to define it). ^-^
My lessons & teaching style
During our first lesson, I like to learn about your expectations and interests. I want you to feel comfortable with asking questions. If you ever ask me a question I do not know the answer to, I will TRY my best to find the answer and let you know as soon as possible (within reason). ^-^ I will also try to find unique ways to help you pronounce difficult words.
I can provide books/pdfs for our lessons if you prefer a more structured format.
