Hi! I am Miss Salie. I teach English to young children who are eager to learn!
I am a very happy and energetic person who loves to meet new people. I love to learn about different cultures and I love to share elements of my culture with others.
I am passionate about the English language and helping people brings me so much joy!Me as a Teacher
I have 4 years of experience in teaching English and I am a 120-hour TEFL-certified teacher. I specialize in teaching young learners the English language. I have a neutral English accent which makes it easy for children from all backgrounds to understand me.
I am:
😀 patient
😀 encouraging
😀 energetic
I allow my learners to make mistakes in class so they can learn from their mistakes and improve their English. Our classroom is a judgement-free zone! I always motivate my learners so I can boost their confidence.My lessons & teaching style
I make use of TPR in my classes to ensure my learners are engaged in the classroom. I also maximize STT - I believe that learners need to talk more in class in order to improve their English. In our classroom we will focus on fluency, understanding and improvement of the English language. You will learn in a fun and informative way.
I use authentic learning resources and reward systems to keep my learners engaged during our lessons.
We will learn about MANY different things like: how to improve fluency, pronunciation, grammar and SO MUCH MORE!

My 5-yr-old son has been having English lesson once a week with Miss Salie for almost a year. Teacher Salie is a very nice and encouraging teacher, she has good teaching skills with kids and can always catch my son’s attention during lessons. I can feel my son is much better in speaking and using English, I don’t see him getting bored at the lessons at all! Thanks Miss Salie!

Woah, Salie, what a memorable class I had with you! You were well prepared for our joint session; a lovely, personalized PowerPoint presentation was created by you; and I had a pleasant chat with you today. I was delighted to catch up with you after a long time without seeing each other. I missed our classes, Salie.
In summary, I had an overall pleasant experience. I always admire and love to see your enthusiasm and energy in your teaching and lesson preparation. My English has certainly improved since I began working with you. Thank you so much!

It was a pleasure meeting and talking it over with you today, Salie. For me, you are such a light-hearted positive human being, full of new ideas, constantly on a mission how to change yourself and your students for the better. I feel comfortable in your hands; I have known you for a while now and understand that I am not just another pupil here on Italki who is likely to have only two or three sessions and then disappear from sight again (as it felt like with other educators). You and I together have the potential to achieve great heights.
