Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 29 de Jul de 2019
Tema de interésViajesSaludTecnología
I am definitely a "life long learner" with a genuine interest in the lives of people around me. I have attended classes in seven different universities after earning my original B.A. in Communications at The Ohio State University. I love to travel and after meeting new people its the art and architecture that I particularly enjoy.
When I am not teaching, my days are filled with music, attempts to keep my orchids blooming, doing yoga, reading, and baking cookies.
I am from a large family who thanks to modern technology, I can keep tabs on even when living 2,000 miles away.
Yo como profesor
My years of experience have taught me that most teens & adults find learning a language very challenging and generally they require a great deal of practice, so it is always my mission to keep it engaging and even fun if possible. Equally important is that practice and lessons must be results-oriented and flexible. If something we are doing just isn't working for the student then we try something else. My students and I can both realize more success when we work as a team. Also, there are very few topics that do not interest me so I look forward to accommodating every student's vocabulary theme. Fortunately, my efforts to help others learn has always increased my learning as well.
Mis clases y método de enseñanza
I have completed quite a lot of training on differentiation which I believe is a key element of success with individual students. I love the challenge of developing lessons and selecting strategies that work. The types of lessons & strategies used will vary depending on the student's learning goals and learning styles. I will include any of the teaching materials listed below if they facilitate and enhance learning for the particular student. Student input is also important so I can provide the types of feedback that are most helpful and relevant. I use "best practice" strategies but even those need to be selected or set aside based on the student as a unique learner.

I recently had my first trial class with Ellen at iTalki, and I am very pleased with the experience.
Ellen proved to be a consummate professional, with incredible knowledge of the subject matter we covered. She was punctual, well prepared, and her teaching methods were effective and easy to follow.
Ellen was patient and attentive, and always made sure that I was able to understand the material before moving on to the next topic.
In addition, Ellen created a positive learning environment, which made the class enjoyable.

Ellen is an excellent career/Interview mentor. She’s very persuasive because she explains the logic or culture behind the expressions that she recommends me to use for my interviews.
She is very wise, fun, supportive, and shares valuable interview aspects with me. She goes above and beyond the call of duty in providing me interview-related information. With Ellen’s support, I am extremely confident when I communicate with those companies.
I have mock interviews with Ellen. She is the most earnest language teacher I have seen. We review different interview questions and answers, she will never let go of any uncertain/inappropriate answers that I would use for my interviews. She patiently goes through each question and comes up with the best answers based on our discussion. Ellen strives to provide the best teaching and learning experience.
I look forward to being able to effectively communicate in the ways that Ellen is showing me, and under Ellen’s tutelage I am in good hands :)

All lessons are perfect, but this one of my favorite. I’ve learned new business terms, constructions. I have a chance to train specific words in context. I practice professional expression applying to my workplace. Thank you!
