About Me
italki teacher since Aug 27, 2018InterestsFilms & TV SeriesGamingSports & Fitness
I am from Toronto, Canada, a city well-known for its multiculturalism. As such, I have been very lucky to have been exposed to and experienced multiple world values and views. Furthermore, my family is from Uruguay, and I have learned about and embraced all of Uruguay's cultural values. I love to travel and have spent most of the last 10 years teaching and living in Japan and Korea. In addition, I love soccer and do follow La Liga and MLS. I also enjoy reading fiction, and I do enjoy watching movies and Game of Thrones.Me as a Teacher
I am an ESL/EFL facilitator with 16 years of teaching experience and engaging in ongoing professional development. I have taught 5 semesters at 4 universities in Japan, 2 fall semesters at York University and 4 years in Korea. I have taught students from various age groups (children, adolescents and adults) and various levels of English proficiency (beginner–advanced level). I am experienced in designing curricula and courses, including designing and implementing programs for universities. Furthermore, I have experience helping students prepare for English proficiency tests, including IELTS. I have also taught Business English classes in Toronto, and had worked for a mutual fund company.My lessons & teaching style
I have and continue to teach a multitude of different English langugae classes, ranging from grammatical structures in writing to fluency and accuracy building for speaking. I have and continue to cover all 4 of the major language skills, as well as have taught IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC prep classes. In addition, I do have experience with different learning styles and needs, and have developed curricula and programs tailored to meet the needs of the different proficiency levels I have and continue to encounter in my career as a teacher. In class, I do expect students to fully participate, as English is not learned passively, but by engaging and using it actively.My teaching material
