About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2022InterestsWritingHistoryReading
Language has always been a powerful tool in my life, both as a means of effective communication in my native English and as a gateway to new cultures through learning foreign languages. My love for international travel and world history has deepened my appreciation for the diverse ways people express themselves across cultures. I am also passionate about translated literature, which allows me to connect with stories from around the globe. My ultimate motivation for being an English teacher is to help my students express their unique thoughts and ideas on a broader scale, empowering them to share their voices with the world.Me as a Teacher
I am a TEFL-certified native English-speaking teacher with over 7 years of experience. I have taught English to learners of all ages in both group and one-on-one settings. I prioritize building positive relationships with each student to ensure a comfortable and supportive classroom environment. As a passionate language learner myself, I deeply admire English language learners and empathize with their experience in acquiring a new language. My students can trust that I am fully committed to their success.My lessons & teaching style
I prioritize student goals and carefully tailor my teaching to meet each student's specific needs. Before selecting a study path, I conduct thorough assessments of a student's proficiency level and language-learning objectives. I am skilled at scaffolding complex information to enhance comprehension for diverse learners. I enjoy creating engaging and dynamic materials for the classroom and seize opportunities to incorporate narrative-based learning whenever possible. While I provide all necessary materials, I also encourage students to bring in materials that reflect their personal interests.My teaching material

Lila teacher may be the kindest English teacher in italki👍👍 She has a great talent for teaching. She corrected my wrong grammar one by one with natural expressions. I think it is suitable for beginners because the teacher speaks slowly so that it is easy to understand. I highly recommend this teacher!!
