About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2021Interest topicHistoryTravelFilms & TV SeriesReadingPets & Animals
My name is Heather and I am from North Carolina, USA. I have a bachelor's degree in history and TEFL certificate with specializations in one-to-one, online teaching, and IELTS prep. I used to work in the tourism industry as a travel agent, I even owned my own agency. Now, I host high school exchange students and help them with their English, school subjects, and experiencing American culture. I have 2 dogs, a cat, and 8 chickens and live in a rural area. I love to travel and learn about new cultures (and try their food!).Me as a Teacher
I earned my TEFL certificate in January 2021 along with specializations in one-on-one, online teaching, and IELTS prep. Since then I have been helping children and adults learn and improve their English. I also work with teenage exchange students.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is communicative, I prefer to teach what students need or want to know. My lessons are created around the student so my student's can ask what they want to learn. I use a mix of slides, documents, video/audio clips, and images to help with the learning process.
I offer general English lessons, conversational lessons, IELTS or TOEFL exam prep, English for school, and English for tourism (either as a traveler or as a business).My teaching material
- Text Documents
- Image files
- Presentation slides/PPT
- Video files
- Homework Assignments
- Test templates and examples
- PDF file
- Audio files
- Articles and news

Teacher’s pick
It was a real pleasure to talk to her. She is very friendly and patient. I was really nervous in the beginning, but she made me feel comfortable quickly.
