About Me
italki teacher since Mar 15, 2022Interest topicBusiness & FinanceTravelHistoryFilms & TV SeriesMarketing
I am an active and fun-loving person. I really enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities including diving, hiking, camping and much more. I have lived abroad teaching for more than 15 years, and love learning new languages and cultures. I have taught in Russia, China, Malaysia, and Turkey, as well as back home in Canada. I am energetic and have great social skills.Me as a Teacher
I am a highly motivated, outgoing, energetic, and enthusiastic teacher. I have completed a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics, HESS Canadian TEFL as well as my CELTA.
For the past decade and a half, I have been an ESL instructor, teacher trainer, and program manager. Over the years, I have worked with primary schools, adult training centers, and educational solution companies. I have taught in many different countries and have had students from all over the world. This experience has given me the opportunity to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different education systems and teaching approaches.My lessons & teaching style
Teaching is a pleasure and a calling for me. I take great pride in my students’ accomplishments, and I do my utmost to create a nurturing learning environment that will foster their growth. I understand that there are many different kinds of learners and try my best to facilitate them all. I believe this involves using all sorts of visual, audio, and other aids in the classroom to get more of a “hands-on” approach. It is for this reason that I have acquired the computer skills needed to create PPTs, flashcards, videos, workbooks, and much more.My teaching material
