About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2020InterestsMusicHistoryTravel
I’m a polyglot, music lover, and student of international relations. Originally from the East Coast of the USA, I spent five years in Los Angeles attending college, where I studied international relations, and starting my professional career. In the past I’ve spent time in Spain, Brazil, and Serbia, and when conditions allow it I plan to move to Turkey to teach English. I’m extremely passionate about learning languages, as I love the way that language learning allows me to engage with cultures beyond my own, and on a normal day I spend several hours studying. Feel free to contact me with any questions about my availability, teaching style, or if you’d just like to chat!Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I take pride in personalizing my teaching style to my students’ learning goals and context. With this in mind, I have taught English in a variety of settings:
- In 2014-2015 I worked as a teaching assistant at an ESL course for immigrants in my home town, helping students from beginner to advanced levels improve their English skills
- Between 2014-2016 I worked as a private tutor helping foreign students improve their English communication skills while living in Los Angeles
- In 2020 I attended a TEFL Certification Course in Istanbul, Turkey, where I developed my lesson planning skills while also teaching students at a variety of levels and with numerous learning stylesMy lessons & teaching style
Through my time in a TEFL Certification Course I became well versed in numerous teaching styles emphasizing linguistic production, grammatical study, exposure to authentic linguistic sources, and other language learning activities. I like to formulate my lessons around one grammatical and one thematic idea (such as the present progressive tense and sports), using stimulating themes as a means of engaging students. Additionally, I employ material types specifically catered for my students, such as songs, videos, and articles centered on topics students express interest in. For learners with previous linguistic experience, I enjoy conducting more detailed grammatical analysis.Certificates
