New English Conversational Tutor looking to coach children ages 5-12
I am an English Conversational Tutor/Coach new to Italki. I work with children ages 5-12. I coach through fun. I prefer to refer to myself as a coach rather than tutor because I work through encouragement and building ability around their strengths and interests. My monkey puppet Jengo joins me to help create a relaxed atmosphere, and can also act as an additional English speaker to broaden conversational skills. Children will learn through stories, video, songs, and games. In the same manner that babies pick up their native language, the focus to my coaching is not on proper grammar, but rather word usage in context. Proper grammar corrections will either fall into place naturally, or be corrected through working with English rule implementation later on in the learning process. If you know of a child that would benefit from conversational coaching, please send them to my Italki page at:

I look forward to meeting any new students!
