About Me
italki teacher since May 4, 2020
I am a native English-speaker from the United States and certified teacher with a master´s degree in Teaching English as a 2nd Language. I was born in the U.S. and I have lived here most of my life
I have studied and taught languages for more than 30 years. I love teaching and learning languages.
For 24 years, I taught English and Spanish in a public school in the U.S. before I retired in 2018
I enjoyed teaching high school and college but now I teach online.
I like connecting with students from other countries through the internet and sharing my knowledge of the English language and American culture with them.
Me as a Teacher
I believe learning a new language and discovering a new culture should be FUN. The focus of my conversation classes will be on speaking and conversation. Grammar and vocabulary will be taught through conversation.
My lessons & teaching style
I can teach in both an informal, conversational style or a more formal, academic style depending on the preferences of the student.
I like use a variety of materials like:
-technology-- multimedia and other sources from the internet
-textbooks
-flashcards
-photos
-music
-books
Above all, I will add any materials that will make the class more engaging and FUN!

Dan is very patient and sharp. I like his way of proactively asking me questions on verbs or phrases that I thought I already understood but actually not. I feel in this way I can indeed improve my vocabulary to the next level :)
