About Me
italki teacher since Jul 19, 2021Me as a Teacher
I am very flexible with my teaching. I love to focus on meeting the needs of my students. I know that each student is unique and has a different way of learning. I like to teach using different methods like games, the use of music, reading activities, and fun writing activities. My lessons will be tailored to meet your goals, preferences, and learning style. Also, I like to integrate reading, speaking, reading, and writing to enhance the learning experience. I teach children, teenagers, and adults.
I offer lessons:
- improving reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills
- improving conversational skills through casual conversation
- helping with English homework and assignmentsMy lessons & teaching style
My lessons will focus on improving your conversational skills. We can talk about the topics that interest you the most. I will help you improve your English grammar, pronunciation, listening skills, writing skills, and vocabulary. I will correct your grammar mistakes during our lesson and explain/demonstrate the correct grammar and/or pronunciation. Most importantly, I will encourage you and provide you with a positive learning environment.My teaching material

Bachelor’s - EducationMy studies focused on teaching English language learners at the elementary level.
Work Experience
2018 - 2020
Teaching InternMy experience as a teaching intern for the past two years helped me gain valuable knowledge about teaching English language learners. I worked with English language learners teaching them to read and write. I taught students valuable literacy skills like fluency, accuracy, how to decode, using context clues, and additional strategies to help them improve their reading skills. I plan to transfer my teaching skills from the classroom to be able to teach on italki.
