LiannMe as a Teacher
I've worked in journalism, videography, and design, but once I found teaching, I knew I'd always be doing some form of it or another; I can't imagine myself doing anything else.
Sometimes it's still hard to believe that I get to talk to people around the world for a living. The conversations happen as discussions, debates, recommendations, stories, chats... They've deeply changed my life and continue to do so. Many of my closest friends started as students and teachers on iTalki. My lessons & teaching style
You will not find more detailed lesson notes anywhere else. My specialty ☺ haha
Every grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary mistake you make will be explained in our lesson notes so you can study them later. I also include tips for memorization and sentence structure!
The goal here isn't to help you have conversations you've already had in your language, in English instead. True fluency is being able to have genuine, completely new conversations IN ENGLISH, which we will do every time we see each other. It will be fun, it will be memorable, and I hope you will wonder what took you so long to come to iTalki :DMy teaching material

I'm very happy to have Liann as my English teacher. She's able to adapt her teaching to my needs. Classes are fun and inspiring. It's a pleasure to chat with her about any topic. The 'talk notes' she sends me after each lesson are tremendously detailed, complete and very useful. Thanks to all that, my English pronunciation, grammar and fluency have improved significantly. And the best of all is that, in addition to being a great teacher, she is an extraordinary person. Thank you very much, Liann.

I love lessons with Liann. I always learn something new, and I can work on my language gaps during the lessons. I always receive the notes for practice on time. No matter what happens, I can always message her. Liann gives a lot of helpful tips, and thanks to her I learn how to use English in a natural way. On top of that, our conversation topics never run out. She is a great person to talk to and to share culture with as well :)
