About Me

italki teacher since Jun 11, 2021

*I am a student in South Africa. I enjoy my tertiary education because it helps me with my communication skills. I have been able to sharpen my communication skills through my Major in Strategic communications. I also enjoy debate and public speaking. This is because l get to meet a lot of new people. I am also very goal oriented. *In my spare time l love to read novels and self help books. My current favorite book is Becoming by Michael Obama. I love this book because it motivates me to work hard to attain my goals. I also love the book because Michael Obama is simply phenomenal. I am a big foodie and this has inspired me to sharpen up my cutlery skills.

Me as a Teacher

I believe that each student is different. I say this because l understand that the learning approach for each student has to be based on how the student absorbs the information. Therefore in my classes l plan to identity ways to teach each student more effectively. I will do this by paying close attention to the students participation in the classroom. I also love seeing progress in my students English abilities, therefore l will also monitor their progress closely. Above all l plan to create a fun learning environment. This is to emphasize that learning a new language can be fun and exciting.

My lessons & teaching style

*For my first time English learners l rely on the TPR method to assist them in the students on their English journey. I find that the total physical response method works effectively for first time learners because it assists them to figure out new words in English. the classes for first time learners are exciting and filled with reward systems so as to encourage the learner to not give up on their English journey. *For my intermediate leaners l also use the TPR method and encourage the students to also start reading a few books, and we can discuss what they don't understand in the classroom. * for advanced leaners, l like to have normal conversations with them and correct their grammar.
