About Me
italki teacher since Mar 11, 2021InterestsTravelFoodHistory
I am a native speaker who was born and raised in Southern California (US) I currently live in Milan, Italy. I have a Cambridge CELTA certification to teach English to adults. Prior to getting certified as an English language teacher, I worked in the legal field in California for over 15 years and also served as a volunteer Sunday school teacher in my spare time. I love to cook, travel, and read good books!Me as a Teacher
My CELTA training has taught me much on the subject of teaching English. Incorporating reading, writing, speaking, listening, and grammar into language learning is essential to a learner's success. I aim to customize lessons for each learner, focusing on the area(s) the learner feels weak. I speak Spanish and Italian so I am very aware of the struggles of students whose first language interferes with learning English.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons consist of reading, listening, speaking, and grammar. Lessons are based on relevant topics and your interests, not boring textbooks. I use engaging audio and videos that address current topics and I can design each lesson to meet your needs. My personalized approach helps students enjoy the process of learning English.My teaching material

Janie has been an incredible teacher. She helped me to improve a presentation, both in content and delivery. She was very clever about where I should focus to get the best from this presentation, and was very detail oriented.
I highly recommend taking classes with her.
