I have taught English on italki for 5 years. This is a great platform on which to study. I have taught thousands of people from many countries over my teaching career. I have a teaching certificate from the State of Missouri, having graduated from one of the best teaching colleges in the Midwest. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I am usually informal, relaxed, and cheerful. I help people prepare for many things in an English language environment. In addition, I have quite a variety of guides that we can use in our class: English dialogs, discussion topics, questions and answers, role plays, test preparation, job interview questions, conversation suggestion sheets, idiom studies, phrasal verb lists, colloquial expressions, homework assignments, videos, reference and activity web sites, classroom materials, short stories, ESL readings, etc. These I offer you free! I also like the simplicity of doing traditional conversation and chatting about subjects like life, hobbies, and travel!Il mio materiale didattico

The teacher is rude and unfriendly keep accusing me .If l have responsibility,just 10%,why the teacher keep accusing me?Because l use Facetime and cannot connect him,and he says he waited for 20minutes and called me for20minutes.That’s not true.Since he couldn’t connect me,l firstly contact him and try to find solution (move to Italkiclassrom)Oh why l contact him through Facetime is because l have Facetime account and internet connects to Facetime.And he calling me through SIM.And then he started keeping blaming me.Also said l was beating around the bush,And of course,as soon as he blamed me,l started defending myself.So we just wasted the time for accusations.That’s funny.

Nice conversation class with Trig (Richard) on AI and how to make a good AI business on billion dollars. He said a lot of good things about AI, Asian countries and how to make the ideal AI to earn enough money and to help my city and my country and the rest of the world. It was a nice discussion for an hour but it went fast with him that I didn't notice. He is nice, loves joking and he loves fun! I didn't feel nervous with him because he made me laugh, smile and he made me express my opinion on AI and AI business in English which is good because I wanted to express my point of view on more complex, abstract topics. I hope to see him again soon if I wish to continue. Trig is nice, engaging and he makes people smile, laugh and enjoy the lesson because he makes them interesting!
