! I only teach 18+My lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy is that students learn best through conversation and correction as this is how native speakers learn their own language. I encourage my students to speak for 5 to 10 minutes (or more if they want to) and then we review their good sentences and mistakes, looking at grammar rules and identifying repeated errors. It’s also very important for me to make learning personalised and fun because I believe talking about personal topics makes the material more engaging and memorable for students.Certificates

Meeting Ben on italki is one of the most wonderful things that ever happened in my life. Without a shadow of doubt, he is the best teacher in the world. Not only correcting my mistakes, he writes down all the good expressions that I use which really makes me motivated. When I feel down, he listens to my story carefully, and give me the words I need. I feel so comfortable talking with him and I am thankful that he makes a lot of efforts to create a safe space. I can't thank enough, but again thank you so much for everything you did to me. You are an amazing person, and I hope to see you soon!

Previous time, when I answer the similar questions, I probably ticked the wrong answer. The teacher never ask to book and/or pay lessons outsude italki.

Excellent as always! Ben has been super engaged, accommodating and encouraging in every lesson we had. He praises my good sentences while never letting go of any mistakes I made. I also greatly appreciate his efforts in making every lesson fun, relaxing and informative.
