About Me
italki teacher since Jun 15, 2021Me as a Teacher
Primarily as a teacher I am calm, patient and accepting. I do not get mad nor do I judge others for trying to learn.
As for specifics, when it comes to the lessons themselves, I primarily work through teaching within conversation where myself and my student will engage in topics of interest where I encourage my student to speak whilst I calmly correct of their speech. In addition to that I find it effective to engage in writing exercises between classes but this homework is optional. Other than that I take requests from my students and ensure that they learn in whatever way may best suit them.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons I like to teach in a calm, fun and relaxed manner primarily through conversational exercises. Throughout the conversation I will correct on grammar, pronunciation and logical errors. Through this method I hope to improve upon my students' listening, speaking, and comprehension skills while also working primarily on their confidence with their English speaking. Aside from conversations during lessons I like to also adapt my lessons based on my students needs and do other exercises as need by or if my students request them. I also tend to give out writing exercises for between classes that will then also add to the next class's agenda.My teaching material

120-hour TESOL certificate - International Open Academy - 2021To achieve this certificate I had to undergo a 120 hour course instructing me on the best methods to teach English in a learning environment.

In all honesty, Ralph is one of the best Italki tutors I’ve had so far. From the first moments of the lesson you will definitely be impressed by his perfect English, natural charm and friendliness.

The class was fine, as always, but there were interruptions on the Internet that made difficult the developing of the lesson.
