About Me
italki teacher since Jun 2, 2021Me as a Teacher
I taught English in Japan for about 3 years to junior high school students as well as preschool and kindergarten children. I loved having conversations with my students and teaching them real life English, not only what was in their textbooks. I try to make English real and fun for my students and keep them motivated to accomplish their goals.My lessons & teaching style
My aim as a teacher is to help you improve your conversation skills, accent, pronuncation, and grammar usage. I will talk with you and help you make a plan! I am very flexible and will meet your needs, whether it be preparing for a test or just improving and practicing your vocabulary through conversation-- we can work together on whatever you would like! I am understanding of the difficulties in learning a foreign language so I hope to set up an environment where you don't have to worry about making mistakes. I like to have fun so I try to make my lessons enjoyable through friendly conversation or interesting articles and websites.My teaching material

Mikaela noticed I was struggling with the phrasal verbs and immediately gave me some exercises to practice. She was patient and looked very serious. I highly recommend her!
