About Me
italki teacher since Jul 9, 2020Me as a Teacher
I’ve over 7 years of experience in teaching English. At first I started as a volunteer then did my internship at a school. 7 years ago I got a job as a lecturer. I teach English to international students of different levels and ages at a local university so I’m used to cultural diversity as they are of different ethnicities and religions from all over the world. I also work at the Center for Development and Education Quality Assurance of the University. Great news. The university I work for got an institutional accreditation. I’m happy as I was one of the key members who contributed to the success.
I’ve participated in a lot of conferences and received certificates.My lessons & teaching style
Working at the Center for Development and Education Quality Assurance helps me better plan and structure our lessons.
The most important thing in teaching is to meet learning outcomes and ensure quality. I always take into account my students' needs and interests.
So make time just to enjoy speaking English. I’m sure you’ll have fun learning it or enhancing and developing your skills with me. We’ll do lots of practice. We’ll work on improving your conversational English. We’ll work on speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our classes will be interactive and full of energy. We’ll set learning outcomes and will gradually achieve them.
I enjoy my work so much.
Can’t wait to start our class.My teaching material
