About Me
italki teacher since Apr 17, 2020InterestsBusiness & FinanceReadingFilms & TV Series
I am 38 years old. I have two daughters, and I live with my husband in North Italy. I am originally from Dallas, Texas where I went to university. I love reading, traveling, teaching, learning, public speaking, singing, and meeting new people!Me as a Teacher
I am a very patient teacher who adapts lessons based on what you need and are interested in. I have years of experience teaching ESL so I quickly know which methods help you learn best. I encourage you to speak at least 80% of the time, and I want you to feel comfortable to make as many mistakes as possible so you can learn from them and know that it is okay to make mistakes! My lessons are interesting, relevant, and fun and I want you to not only improve your English but become more confident in your communication skills overall. I am here to support and learn with you.
American accent. Pronunciation. My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are visible to you in a presentation format. My lessons are interactive which means that you are able to write on the screen and use a pen to draw on it if you need to. Every lesson is based on a topic we explore together. We discuss it and look at particular language and grammar usage. You will complete different tasks with my help. In addition to speaking, almost all lessons have some listening, writing, and reading activities. When you are speaking, I take note of any errors which we correct together during error correction. I will explain each error so you know why it is incorrect. I use the whiteboard as a visual aid. You have access to all lessons even after we finish it.My teaching material

I have had over 20 lessons with Amy, and I can say I haven't had this kind of experience in a long time. There was specific homework for every lesson; she listened and gave comments on my speech, as well as custom assignments if I didn't understand a topic. A lot of what I was discussing was new to me, and the whole thing was very interesting.
