About Me
italki teacher since Mar 19, 2021InterestsTravelArtFilms & TV SeriesHistoryReading
When I was younger, I knew that I wanted to teach English to people from other countries. I was always interested in reading books that were set in different countries. When I was in college, I finally had the opportunity to travel outside of the United States. I have been to London and Scotland; I also studied abroad in Italy. While I was in Italy, I taught English, which made me feel certain that this was the right fit for me. Learning about different cultures has always been an area of interest to me so becoming an ESL/EFL teacher allows me to continue learning while also teaching the language. I also enjoy baking, hiking, reading, and crocheting.Me as a Teacher
I love having conversations with students to learn more about them and their culture. I believe that speaking the language one is trying to learn is what truly helps students' growth. Making mistakes is what helps people learn, so I will not be mad if anyone makes any errors. If I notice a student is struggling, I am able to make adjustments to the lesson.My lessons & teaching style
An example of a typical lesson includes introducing specific vocabulary words, a grammar concept and/or a passage to read, and a conversation that ties into the grammar concept or passage. My main goal in my lessons is to have the students do most of the talking, while I introduce the lesson and give feedback both verbally and in written form.My teaching material

Amazing teacher! If only I had had a teacher like her in school… We could really make progress with someone like her while having fun at the same time! Her sense of humor, optimism, and dynamism make all the difference. Thank you so much, Kellie, for these personalized and enjoyable lessons!
