TEFL-certified English teacher with nearly 5 years of experience teaching conversation classes Hi there! I am a US native from Chicago who somehow currently finds himself living on a volcano in Pasto, Colombia. My passion for languages developed over two magical years in the nearby city of Medellín, Colombia, where I taught English and began my Spanish learning journey. As you can imagine, I love to meet new people from around the world as learning about their cultures and histories keeps me feeling deeply inspired and ever-evolving. My passions include reading, writing, sports (especially hockey 🏒), music, film, as well as all things art, life, and nature. I also love to discuss world events and politics. What I love about being a teacher is seeing a new vocabulary word or grammar concept "click" for a student. When that light bulb goes off in the student's head, I feel a deep sense of purpose and joy seeing them grow in real time. Examples I often give in class include jokes, because I believe students learn better with a laugh. However, I am not a clown and won't force myself to be funny, because I know that can be obnoxious. My worst nightmare is a bored student. What's yours? **ALSO** I DON'T GIVE LESSONS TO KIDS. I recommend searching for a teacher with experience teaching kids. There are some great ones on Italki! The topics of my conversation classes will always be catered to your personal preferences/needs. They will be focused on developing your abilities to produce English comfortably. We will strengthen your pronunciation skills and learn new vocabulary ...

Interesting conversation topics! 👌🏻 Andrew gives you some activities to do before the lesson, based on what you are interested in. During lessons you can talk about these topics and/or do general conversation. You learn in an informal and effective way!
