About Me
italki teacher since Apr 15, 2020InterestsHistoryFilms & TV SeriesReading
BA in history from Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, USA (1983). This included a junior year abroad at the Institute for European Studies in Freiburg, Germany, with all liberal arts classes in German there and at Albert Ludwig University in Freiburg.
Towards an MA I studied South Asian Studies at the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle (WA). (1983 - 1984) This was only for one year, plus additional Hindi classes, as I was in a car accident and seriously injured when I was age 23.
I completed 120 hours toward a Global TEFL Certificate. (February 2018).Me as a Teacher
I was certified to teach high school social studies in New York City and all subjects as a teacher in Los Angeles. I have taught ESL and business English for Amideast (America in the Middle East) in Tunisia and Palestine, including top staff with Coca-Cola, Philip Morris (Marlboro), etc.. I've instructed at several universities in Hungary (English/drama), the Czech Republic (law), Tunisia (management), and Vietnam (presentation and negotiation skills, writing skills). Additionally, I've taught at public schools and language schools worldwide, including the British Language Center in Tangier, Morocco, and last year history and English literature at a high school in Slovakia.My lessons & teaching style
Naturally interactive and engaging, I seek to bring out the best in students and truly cater to their interests and needs! As I have written scores of dialogues for the classroom, I excel at this and enjoy creating dialogues for students, including appropriate vocabulary and grammar for a student's level. This facilitates introducing phrasal verbs and idioms in a relaxed and interesting way. I write both comedy and drama, both involving conflict and relevant situations.
My forte is teaching presentation and negotiation skills and I have viewed over 1,000 presentations in business English and ESL classes. To online teaching I bring dynamic lessons with humor!My teaching material

Chauncey is a very interesting person, he has traveled to so many places and seen so many things that you will be fascinated by listening to what he has to say about his life and the world. He kindly corrected my mistakes while speaking, which made the lesson just perfect. I highly recommend his lesson!
