About Me
italki teacher since Jul 12, 2018Interest topicFoodWritingTravel
I'm talkative person, but there's nothing I enjoy more than listening to my students' stories, especially, if they are about traveling, different cultures and food. I have visited around 15 countries so far and am enthusiastic to be recommended some new ones. On my free time I enjoy doing sports, recently, mostly yoga as it brings balance and positive vibes to my life. On the other hand, I'm a nerd - I love studying and reading books and I'm on my way to phd in marketing, which I adore (it turn, it means I watch TV for ads and not movies)!Me as a Teacher
I've never thought of myself as a teacher, however I've been teaching English for more than 5 years and I love it! It's a real story of "from passion to profit" :D I've started as a mentor to foreign students at my university and turned out to be a full-time English instructor at world renown YMCA college in Japan. However, it's still my passion, so I always try to keep my lessons light and enjoyable, unless my students are preparing for a test or have to quickly improve their English for work.My lessons & teaching style
I have Master's in Marketing and experience in working in a large advertising company which helps when my students come from business background, however, my students' age varies from 4 to 84, so I've learnt to adapt to everyone's needs and preferences.My teaching material

Lessons with Sigita are always so fun. Her worksheets are effective and I have learned so much in a month. It's hard to believe how much I know now, and it is going to be fun to see how much I am going to know by next month.
The progress I am seeing is so motivating, and I am starting to feel like a true Lithuanian. :)

Her class is always amazing. She is supportive and takes care of a student.
Today's lesson was great. She gave me an opportunity to describe the picture with several vocabulary. It was a little challenging but lots of fun.

Sigi is a fantastic teacher that has really helped me to begin to understand the more difficult parts of Lithuanian grammar. Every lesson we go over things we have learned in the past which helps to contain the information. We add new elements each time which is great.
