I’m Ashley, a professional English instructor on Italki. I've lived in many places including the USA (NYC), Italy, and Turkey. I speak Spanish, Italian, and I'm currently working on Arabic. My interests include writing, travel, and horseback riding. I learned both Spanish and Italian as an adult, so I know how challenging it can be. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve taught both adults and young learners in private and group settings. I hold a BA in Spanish and a TEFL certification, specializing in Business English and IELTS/TOEIC preparation. My lessons are tailored to my individual students' needs using a mix of visuals, reading materials, and conversational techniques. To learn a new language or continue to get better in an existing language, lessons should be focused but also fun.

I refer to teacher Ashley for help with the TOEFL speaking section, and it is really a good opportunity for me to practice and it is exactly what I needed. My problems when dealing with the test are mainly about grammar and strategy for answer. Teacher Ashley not only help me identify my problems but also give me advice on how to improve my performance. She is more than experienced and professional, and I received a lot of helpful information from her feedback. Highly recommend if you have trouble with the IELTS or TOEFL tests.

I've taken several conversation classes with Ashley, and I really like her teaching style. In every class she introduces interesting topics and perspectives, and the discussions are always engaging and never boring. I feel that I learn a lot in each lesson. She encourages me to speak and improve my conversation skills while also helping me expand my vocabulary and refine my grammar. I truly recommend her!
