About Me
italki teacher since Aug 14, 2017InterestsFashion & BeautyArtTravelFoodMedical & Healthcare
I live in sunny California now after living and working as an English teacher in Singapore, Turkey and Greece. I really like to connect with different people from different cultures and share our outlooks on life and different experiences.
Traveling has always been a big part of my life. I have currently visited 45 countries thus far. I wonder where I will go next. Do you have any ideas for me?Me as a Teacher
I like to create lessons based on what you are aiming to achieve. I am not a rigid teacher that just teaches out of books, but instead a teacher that likes to mix up learning with different materials.My lessons & teaching style
Not every lesson has to be structured the same, I offer flexibility based on your goals and what learning style works best for you. I like diversity in our lessons and I hope you do, too!
There are options to pick different conversations topics each lesson, or we might watch a video online and then discuss it. I may have you read an article aloud so I can help you with pronunciation and review new vocabulary with you. There are also options to play games together, like the game Taboo, or I also created fun Jeopardy style quizzes if you want a mixture of challenges!My teaching material
