Hello! I'm Randal, a native English speaker from the USA and a TEFL-certified instructor currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have been helping people improve their English skills on iTalki since 2021. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, whether it's improving conversation fluency, mastering grammar rules, expanding vocabulary, or refining pronunciation, intonation, and diction.
I'm committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to achieve their language goals. I look forward to embarking on this language learning journey together and helping you succeed!Me as a Teacher
I initially struggled with learning foreign languages because many teachers told me it wasn't my strength. I became preoccupied with grammatical rules and memorizing vocabulary out of context, which made me lose sight of the true purpose of learning a language: to communicate with others. However, when I shifted my focus to speaking more, learning words and rules in context, using real world examples and most importantly HAVING FUN, things changed and I began to improve. Since then, I have successfully helped many students with similar challenges. By sharing common interests, learning in context, and emphasizing conversation, I have witnessed them achieve their language goals. My lessons & teaching style
My classes are very relaxed. I want students to feel comfortable and able to speak with ease, without worrying about every little detail or how they sound. I believe it's crucial to let go of that fear and just speak. Initially, I like to get to know my students and understand the areas they want to improve. I offer a range of options, from "free talk" to various structured topics and materials. Some of the resources I use include video shorts, news articles, games, short stories, and more. Most importantly, we talk, laugh, and have meaningful conversations that build your confidence and understanding of the English language.My teaching material

I've been working with Randal for more than a year, and I’ve made great progress in my English. Randal is a very interesting person with many hobbies, so it's always engaging to talk with him.
We review different topics based on my interests, such as cinema, traveling, cars, cooking etc. Randal always prepares well for our lessons and provides great learning materials, including vocabulary lists and video content.
We discuss these materials together, and he corrects my pronunciation and sentence structure, while also teaching useful phrases and slang.
I recommend him wholeheartedly :)
