About Me
italki teacher since Mar 21, 2018InterestsScienceTechReadingFoodTravel
Hello š! Iām a tech-savvy, jazz-loving polyglot (English/French/Spanish/Haitian Creole) who teaches languages *through* cultureānot just grammar. Specialize in making idioms, proverbs, and geeky topics (AI, docs, music) your fluency superpowers. My 7+ yearsā secret? Lessons feel like swapping stories with a friendācomplete with terrible jokes (Iāve got 100+). Message me if you want to learn *alive* languages, not textbooks. Letās begin! šŗMe as a Teacher
My students are also my teachers. Every lesson begins with me guiding them, but by the end, weāve both learned something new š¤.
My goal is to help you become as fluent as possible by focusing on topics that matter to you, your passions, your interests, what drives you.
I also want to show you that language learning doesnāt have to be hard. With a clear motivation šÆ and a personalized approach, fluency becomes not just possible, but enjoyable. šŗ
