About Me
italki teacher since Dec 24, 2019
InterestsTravelTechReading
I enjoy travel, technology, reading, photography, and playing the piano. I have a bachelor's degree in English and a master's degree in education. I've lived in the United States my entire life. And I have what is considered a Midland accent.
Me as a Teacher
I speak clearly and slowly so my students can understand every word. I'm very patient so my students feel comfortable learning at their own pace. Also, I'm highly skilled at customizing lessons to students' needs.
My lessons & teaching style
I quickly adapt to students' learning styles and preferences. Also I develop with the student a plan for how to best utilize our time. For example, we may decide the best approach is practicing casual conversation along with my feedback and correction. Or we may decide to focus on a specific aspect of English, such as vocabulary, grammar, accent improvement, or idioms and slang. Also, to provide a visual reference, I will sometimes share a live view of my word processor and type out the sentences we're covering. In addition, I might share online resources, such as videos and websites, depending on what the student finds most helpful.

I had my 200th lesson this week and I am grateful for everything I have learned and will continue to learn from Heath. I can say that after 2 years I am just as excited about the English lessons with him as I was at the beginning. Thanks to Heath, I speak English with more confidence, which has helped me enormously on all levels.

We had our 200th lesson today! It’s unbelievable! Studying the English language has opened a whole new world full of adventures and opportunities for me. And I just want to say thank you for the knowledge I obtained, for the perfect guidance and explanations, for having a lot of fun and laughs along this exciting journey.
