About Me
italki teacher since Apr 18, 2019InterestsMedical & HealthcareTravelEnvironment & NatureSports & FitnessReading
I'm a language enthusiast who loves learning and teaching languages. Each language has its beauty and of course its challenges; but these challenges and difficulties are what makes the process rewarding. I'm sure together we can find ways to make the learning process more fun and overcome each obstacle. I'll support you until you reach your goals. Happy learning!
Me as a Teacher
As I love learning and teaching languages, I'm always reading about new approaches, new ideas, different methods to help my students learn a new language better and progress faster. I'm very patient and encourage students to speak as much as possible and not to worry about making mistakes. With my classes you'll have a lot of support outside of the classes such as resources and materials to immerse yourself in the language. My lessons & teaching style
I've learnt that having fun and making the process your own takes language learning to a whole new level. So I try to make my classes more fun while adjusting the methods and materials to the student's goals and interests and at the same time trying each time to bring something fun and new to the table to prevent the sessions from getting boring.

After studying with Mina for a few months, I can't even imagine studying with someone else. Mina's classes are very well organized and fun. I finish every class feeling accomplished and inspired. Mina has not only a vast knowledge of multiple languages (which is very helpful as we can find an exact meaning for every word or expression), but she clearly has experience teaching students at a variety of levels. I am so grateful to have found her!

Mina is always very well prepared for our lessons and helps me to walk through the materials. Of course it's appropriately challenging, but that also motivates me each time to try and improve more with each lesson.
