About Me
italki teacher since Oct 25, 2021Interest topicScienceWritingMusic
Hello, my name is Jacob. I'm a native English speaker from Arizona, USA. I'm a Masters student at the Universidad de Alcalá and live in Madrid. I recently graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in English, French and Creative Writing. I currently live in Spain with my wife. I like playing electric guitar, and drinking good coffee! I'm a big fan of English and American poetry, especially the work of Emily Dickinson, Gerard Hopkins and Shakespeare.Me as a Teacher
I enjoy getting to know my students' interests to help them learn English as they would actually want to use it. Do you want to learn English for work, for fun, to make friends? I want to tailor our time together to solidify and meet your goals as an English learner. I also hope to share some of my favorite aspects of my culture and where I grew up while I learn more about you as well! I want to help you grow a love for English that can offer a lasting connection beyond simple memorization.My lessons & teaching style
I prefer conversational, inductive lessons to more formal instruction. This is because I find it most helpful to engage with a language through its art: stories, poems and music. These represent the ways native English speakers really build relationships and flourish in their own cultures, which is invaluable whether you are learning English for a job, for schooling, or just for fun!My teaching material

每次Jacob上課都像是跟好朋友聊天，可以很自由地分享許彼此的想法。Jacob也可以根據學生不同的需求(例如，考試或工作)而調整課程。例如，目前每週Jacob會找不同有趣的文章，我們可以討論文法、句子結構，也可以單就文章內容作討論。就在這樣輕鬆的氣氛中大大增進我口說的信心。

Jacob is a young and passionate teacher who has an open mind to learn the differences between countries and cultures. He is willing to give more time for you to practice speaking, and he deserves more students, considering how good he is at handling conversations.
I highly recommend him to those who come from Asia and Europe.

Jacobs helped me a great deal to improve my text. Also, his poetry awareness gives him significant word sensibility, which is a terrific bonus.
