About Me
italki teacher since Jul 29, 2019
Interest topicTechEnvironment & NatureMarketingTravelBusiness & Finance
I am definitely a "life long learner" with a genuine interest in the lives of people around me. I have attended classes in seven different universities after earning my original B.A. in Communications at The Ohio State University. I love to travel and after meeting new people its the art and architecture that I particularly enjoy. When I am not teaching, my days are filled with music, attempts to keep my orchids blooming, doing yoga, reading, and baking cookies. I am from a large family who thanks to modern technology, I can keep tabs on even when living 2,000 miles away.

It was challenging material, but I liked it a lot. There are many new words to study and really interesting topics to talk about. I like that Ellen follows your speech, corrects your mistakes afterward, and helps you have proper pronunciation.

I recently had my first trial class with Ellen at iTalki, and I am very pleased with the experience. Ellen proved to be a consummate professional, with incredible knowledge of the subject matter we covered. She was punctual, well prepared, and her teaching methods were effective and easy to follow. Ellen was patient and attentive, and always made sure that I was able to understand the material before moving on to the next topic. In addition, Ellen created a positive learning environment, which made the class enjoyable.
