About Me
italki teacher since Apr 17, 2020
Hey there, I'm a NYC-raised Canadian ELT traveling around the world.
I like to travel to discover the world. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and learning about their cultures. I like to explore, share, and learn new things. If you can teach me a thing or two about your culture or language, that would be great!
I also like IT, photography, and design. I like to talk about history, geography, food/cooking, current events, or just some random thoughts on my mind (or yours).
Me as a Teacher
Enjoy a casual conversation with an easy-going and patient language coach (me). I try to create a positive and supportive conversation space, so that you can feel relaxed and comfortable to try your speaking skills. Also:
- CELTA-certified, learner-focused, and tech-savvy language instructor
- Bachelor's degree from the City Universtiy of New York with 10+ years of professional experience in education, program development, and technology
- Communicative and interactive methods based on age groups, interests, goals and other personal/professional factors
- ICT and visual/interactive presentations to enhance the learning experience
- Cultural education as a key aspect of language learning
My lessons & teaching style
- Communication-focused English language lessons from A1 to C2 levels
- Conversation practice sessions
- Presentations on introduction to American/Canadian cultures
- Cultural exchange
- Learning support and advising based on interests, goals, and other
personal/professional factors
- Business/workplace communication
- Support to internationally educated/trained professionals
I'm here not to teach the "textbook" English focused on grammar and vocabulary, but to explore, share, and learn new things with new people through natural, real-world conversation. I believe the language learning isn't just one way - there's so much to learn from each other.

As aulas com o Alex são excelentes! Ele é extremamente inteligente, bem informado e divertido.

Recomendo bastante!!!

I could only give five stars, but Alex deserves way more.
He is friendly and attentive. He said to me that he only accepts a limited amount of students to know us better and make connections with us. I truly feel that during our conversations.
Alex always listens to me very carefully and asks me interesting questions that let me think more about my projects. I often end up the lessons having even more ideas for my projects.
Alex is a gold mine, don’t look for other teachers out there, I tried more than 50 of them and Alex is hands up one of the bests.
I don’t even feel like I am learning English, but I am! I can’t recommend his lessons more.
