About Me
italki teacher since Oct 1, 2021InterestsSports & FitnessTravelEnvironment & NatureScienceArt
I am a mother of four who lives in Ohio in the United States. In addition to teaching English, I also enjoy learning Japanese, teaching yoga, weight lifting, painting, taking portraits, and traveling. I have traveled to more than 30 countries. I have lived in Japan, Mexico, England, and Poland. My favorite city in the US is Sedona, Arizona. My favorite city in the world is Queretaro, Mexico. I spend my days homeschooling my children.Me as a Teacher
I have a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's degree in English with a concentration in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I have more than twenty years of experience. I have taught English in the United States, Mexico, and Poland. I have more than 16,000 classes on-line to more than 2800 Chinese students. I have taught all ages and levels. Students comment to me that they appreciate my patience, enthusiasm, and focus. I provide corrections with positivity and encouragement. My goal is for students to leave each class feeling like they learned as much as they possibly could and motivated to learn more!My lessons & teaching style
I am known for my clear, distinct enunciation and standard Midwestern accent and accurate pronunciation. Students also tell me they appreciate that I am able provide corrections with understandable explanations. I enjoy creating materials to help visual learners grasp new words and concepts. I have a large collection of every day items and photos to spark conversation and demonstrate meaning. I can provide additional homework and learning materials as requested and needed. I adapt the lesson to the learning style, age, level, personality, and needs of each student. I am enthusiastic and dedicated to filling each minute of class with as much learning as possible!My teaching material

Meeting Stephanie was a stroke of luck. From the first class, it was amazing. She has a ton of resources to help with your learning process, in all the areas (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and speaking). Talking with her is very easy, and the additional materials she uses are fantastic. The best teacher ever!

Llevo más de dos años dando clase con Stephanie y estoy muy satisfecha con sus clases y con lo que ha mejorado mi pronunciación en este tiempo. Las clases son divertidas y se me pasan volando. Stephanie tiene un conocimiento profundo del idioma y eso le permite ponerme ejemplos sobre el origen de algunas palabras que me ayuda a aprender más fácilmente. ¡Recomiendo sus clases al 100%!

I am incredibly fortunate to have Stephanie as my English teacher. Her lessons are always well-organized, and the way she approaches teaching is both respectful and engaging. I genuinely look forward to each session, as she has a wonderful ability to make learning fun and relevant to my interests. The homework she assigns is thoughtfully designed to reinforce what we've covered in class, and I always feel like I'm making progress. Stephanie’s method of focusing on topics that are directly related to me makes the learning experience much more personal and enjoyable. I couldn't ask for a better teacher!
