About Me
italki teacher since Jul 25, 2019InterestsPets & AnimalsTravelGaming
Hello, I'm Amanda! I'm from Wisconsin in the United States. I am a Professional English teacher (italki is not accepting upgrades to Professional Teachers in English, at the moment). I currently work for a non-profit organization that provides free English lessons to refugee adults.
I love laughing and having fun during lessons which will make it feel less like a lesson and more like chatting with a friend. When you take a lesson with me, my goal is to make you feel comfortable to speak and make mistakes.
I love traveling and have been to 30 different countries (ask me if I've been to yours!). I also adore food, animals, gardening, crafting, and learning new languages!
Talk to you soon!Me as a Teacher
Things we can improve together:
- Fluency
- Pronunciation
- Confidence when speaking (even when we make mistakes)
- Spontaneous speech
- Expanding vocabulary
- Idiomatic expressions or slang
Experience:
I've been a language learner for most of my life so I understand what it's like to learn a new language. I received my Bachelor's degree in French and Italian studies and received a minor in Mandarin Chinese. Recently, I have been continuing my language studies through online Korean classes.
I also taught English abroad for two years. I taught oral English at a university in Chongqing 重庆, China and I also taught high school English in Reims, France through the TAPIF program.My lessons & teaching style
I want to discuss and talk about what YOU want!
Talking about what is interesting or important to you will inspire you to speak more freely and passionate, which is the goal.
We can talk about current events, daily life, the differences of our hometowns, anything!
What interests you? What are your learning goals? What do you want to improve?
Let me know! This will help our lessons be more productive and fulfilling for you.
Our first lesson will be getting to know each other and what your linguistic goals are. After that, we can have discussions on specific topics.My teaching material

Best teacher I've ever had at Italki. Amanda is very kind, charismatic, attentive and patient. She teaches very well, is dedicated and offers personalized classes focused on the student's greatest difficulties. Hours of studying pass without us noticing.

Amanda is great as a tutor and great as a person!! The only problem was "Time flew!"In our first class, we got to know each other, we talked about the places we live in, I told her about some experiences I had with languages, and ultimately Amanda corrected a video transcript I made. That was a great class. Thanks, Amanda!!

Amanda is an outstanding English teacher. Not only does she have a lot of experience under her belt, but she also has an upbeat attitude toward students' difficulties and a good sense of humor. I can't recommend her classes strongly enough. She really hits them out of the ballpark!
