About Me

Hello! My name is Nika and I'm from Louisiana, USA. I love learning and teaching languages. I speak both English and Spanish. I lived in Mexico for almost three years to immerse myself in the Spanish language and it was a great experience! I've returned to Louisiana and now I'm focusing on learning Japanese as well.Me as a Teacher
I have a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Spanish and am also studying in university to become a Spanish teacher. I also have a 180+ hour TEFL certificate from The International TEFL Academy. (TEFL: teaching English as a foreign language) As a teacher, I am very thorough. I pay close attention to the needs and goals of my students. This allows me to custom tailor each class to that particular student to assist in reaching said goals!My lessons & teaching style
I provide basic, intermediate, advanced, and free talk/conversational lessons in which I use a varied selection of materials. I am a very patient teacher as I know from experience that it takes time to commit a new language to memory.My teaching material

Nika, es la mejor maestra de inglés. Es muy amable, paciente, respetuosa y profesional en todo momento. Con ella no tengo miedo a equivocarme, sin duda alguna si eres latino ella es la profesora indicada para ti, ya que sabe español y es una gran ayuda.

I have been taking Nika’s class for one year and half. She is the best English teacher I’ve ever met. She is always nice, patient and professional. I am so grateful for being her student.

I’m very happy with the classes! Nika is extremely skilled, attentive, and incredibly patient. She creates a safe and welcoming learning environment, which makes a huge difference in the learning process. She explains things clearly, adapts the lessons to my needs, and is always willing to review or reinforce any topic. Above all, she genuinely cares about my progress. I highly recommend Nika!

Having worked with Nika for about 7mos till today, she is by far the best English tutor on Italki platform you will find if you want to take your proficiency up a notch in the aspect of accuracy , grammar, vocabulary, articles uses, phrasal verbs and more. She is very dedicated, punctual, responsible, and professional at what she does to the students of English around the world. She is what I call, "the English Police Officer" for sure, and is cream of the crop.
