About Me
italki teacher since Aug 24, 2021Interest topicGamingMusicTechSports & FitnessFilms & TV Series
I am a Sound Engineer/Musician who is currently traveling the world and working as an English teacher.
My qualifications are:
- 120 hour TEFL
- How to teach IELTS (Cambridge)
- Bachelors degree
My Teaching experience includes:
- 3 years face to face teaching
- 2 years of online teaching
I've been a guitarist for many years and still love playing every day. I'm an avid martial artist (Muay Thai + BJJ). I believe in trying to find hobbies to help improve myself. That being said, I also love playing video games, listening to podcasts, reading books and watching series.Me as a Teacher
For the past 3 years, I have worked at several learning centers with different age groups and learning goals. I have taught young children, teenagers, adults and even retirees. I can confidently say, one of my strongest abilities is to adapt my lessons and approach to best fit the student's needs and desires.
On Italki I will have 3 main lesson types, but I am happy to do any other lessons that students may be interested in.My lessons & teaching style
I approach my lessons with patience and a laid-back attitude. This creates a low-stress environment where my students are happy to use their language skills without fear of making mistakes/being judged. My goal as a teacher is to facilitate growth within my students. This being said, I do like to try and stretch my student's abilities as much as possible, but I refuse to be a 'drill sergeant'. From my personal experience, I have seen that my students come out of their shells and lose their fear of speaking a new language when I treat them with compassion and understanding.
My lessons will fall into the following categories:
- English Communication
- Grammar and Syntax
- IELTS PrepMy teaching material
- PDF file
- Audio files
- Text Documents
- Image files
- Video files
- Articles and news
- Test templates and examples
