About Me
italki teacher since Jan 17, 2020Interest topicHistoryTravelMusicArtFilms & TV Series
My name is Lawrence, but I go by LJ. I won't talk a lot about myself here. We'll learn a lot more about each other in our lessons. But for now, I want you to know that I'm 25 years old. Born and raised in the United States, I speak English natively. Currently, I live in beautiful upstate New York, about an hour north of New York City. I have loved learning languages and exploring new cultures since I was very young. But when I am not studying, I spend my time pursuing art, primarily photography and filmmaking, but dabbling in things like cooking and music and even writing.
Life is simple for me. I never like to get too comfortable in one place, doing only one thing.Me as a Teacher
Having taught online professionally for over 5 years, I've learned a lot about how to learn and how to teach. I don't consider myself a teacher, necessarily. More of a guide, helping students to unlock what they already know and are able to learn on their own, and use it to reach their goals in the most efficient (and fun) way possible. I'm flexible, allowing each student to maintain much of the control over what we focus on in class. I'm easygoing, and love to laugh, so there's never any need to worry about me being upset or strict when you make a mistake. I've made plenty, both in my native language and ones that I'm learning. It's all part of the process and we trust it.My lessons & teaching style
I have four courses that focus on different areas of the English language, so lessons will vary depending on what you want to improve. However, there are lots of similarities allowing for my teaching to be consistent. I'm big on immersion, so in almost all of the lessons, we'll use native level content to do things like increase vocabulary, better understand grammar, and increase conversational fluency. I believe all lessons should flow smoothly, so instead of stopping the lesson every time you make a mistake, you'll receive a review after the lesson that discusses what you did well and what we still need to work on. Sometimes, depending on the topic, I'll give homework.My teaching material

Certificates
TESOL - International Open Academy - 2019Through this 120 hour TESOL course, I learned the basics of linguistics, strategies that would help me use a student’s primary language to teach them a new language, and how to motivate students who are new to the English language.

Work Experience
2015 - 2017
ESL TutorFor two years, prior to receiving a professional English teaching certificate, I worked as a tutor for students at the local community college who acquired English as a second language. We focused mainly on academic English - grammar concepts and improving our conversation skills. I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of students from different backgrounds, though the majority of my students spoke Spanish as their native language

I had a really great time with Lawrence. He's very friendly, smiley and joyful! He makes you feel relaxed and comfortable while speaking a new language. Also, he's very prepared on the topic of learning a new language. He has a method that makes you progress fast along your journey of acquiring a new language. He knows what he does and I'm looking forward to have more lessons with him! Thanks for today :D
