Acerca de mí
Profesor de italki desde 8 de Oct de 2021Tema de interésEscrituraPelículasMarketingLecturaArte
My name's Elizabeth and I teach the English language on italki. I'm a native speaker of English with a neutral Canadian accent. I live in Western Canada and hold a Master's Degree in English literature and the coursework of a PhD. I am a certified ESL teacher and a professional writer and editor. While I'm trained to teach English, I also enjoy simple conversations with acquaintances, too!
In my spare time, I love spending time with family, taking walks with friends, reading fiction and non-fiction, watching movies and getting plenty of exercise.Mostrar idioma original
Yo como profesor
A lo largo de mi formación, he dado conferencias y he sido ayudante de cátedra en literatura y teoría literaria. Más recientemente, he trabajado como redactora y editora de empresa a empresa y he impartido talleres de comunicación empresarial a emprendedores. En todos estos campos he dado conferencias y he dirigido debates para grupos grandes y pequeños de estudiantes. En la actualidad, doy clases particulares a estudiantes de inglés como segundo idioma a través de Zoom, desde gramática y pronunciación hasta conversación. Mis clases y método de enseñanza
Soy paciente y corrijo los errores de los alumnos. Pero también te ayudaré a aumentar tu comprensión del inglés, ya sea escuchando, hablando, leyendo o escribiendo. Personalizo las lecciones para satisfacer sus necesidades específicas y su nivel.
Para cultivar relaciones productivas entre profesor y alumno, empiezo con una clase de prueba obligatoria, tras la cual me reúno con los alumnos, si se apuntan a _ clases continuas_. (No estoy disponible para sesiones "intensivas" de una sola vez.) Para mayor eficacia, dirijo las reuniones a través de Zoom.
Dirijo clases de ESL amigables y altamente efectivas. Las clases incluyen varios documentos, videos, los intereses de los estudiantes y ¡mucha diversión! ¡Sin humor, la práctica del idioma se siente demasiado pesada!Mi material didáctico

With Elizabeth I do conversation,she helps with vocabulary and pronunciation .She has a beautiful accent and is easy to understand. We use videos ,music recordings ,films ,series as well as operas ,singers ,actors and actresses so as to we have a lot of material for particularly interesting conversations .The sessions are always planned ahead carefully so the using of Zoom is made very easy by her posting the links for it a few days before and on the very day of the conversation .Elizabeth is very well-organised ,very punctual,quite knowledgeable in a lot of subjects and in general extremely pleasant,warm and empathetic. It is always a great pleasure to have a lesson with her.I highly recommend her.
