CONVERSATION CLASS - Most Popular

Two students can take a conversation class together at the same time. You can take the class together in the same room, or we can set up a Zoom call, and you can each join from a different location. Students DO NOT need to be at the same English Level. Learning in a class can actually be better than learning alone! Plus, you can do homework together and quiz each other on what you learned. I highly recommend this kind of learning! 

Excellent for friends or couples!

EVERYDAY ENGLISH

This a an Associate of Arts Degree in Social and Behavioral Science, which I received with highest honors from Folsom Lake College in California.

This a an Associate of Arts Degree in Arts and Humanities, which I received with highest honors from Folsom Lake College in California.

Here I studied Anthropology with a focus on diversity and incolusion, public history, storytelling, documentary film making, muesum studies, pre-history, Sound design for field recordings, and ethnography. My thesis looked at issues of othering and belonging as related to food habits.

I have an AA in Social and Behavioral Science and another AA in Arts and Humanities. 
I will be starting at the University of California in the Fall of 2020.

This was a full-time teaching position for 6 months at a lnaguage academy.  I taught 5 - 1 hour long classes daily. I taught 2 beginner classes for children aged 6-12. I also taught 2 teenager classes. One teenage class was upper intermediate / Cambridge Exam prep in Gateway textbooks, and the other was lower intermediate with a focus on English for everyday life.  Finally, I had a one-to-one class teaching Business English to a 55-year-old man in the tourist industry.

I have been teaching online business ESL with this company since 2016.  I teach business ESL to adults who are mainly business executives or working in scientific fields. Some students work from a textbook, but others ask me to create a lesson for them which I do happily! This job was how I learned all about online teaching, and what gave me the confidence to join ITALKI. It is also one of my favorite jobs becuase I love getting to know all my super smart and succesful students!

I have worked for this company seasonally since 2016. It is a kid's English summer and winter camp program. I usually go here in between whatever else I am doing and work for a couple of months while getting to eat all of the lush food Taiwan has to offer! I love working with the kids here. It's the most tiring job I think I have ever had, but also one of the most rewarding. This is also where I really learned how to teach English to kids.My formal CELTA training was aimed at adult learners only

This was an ESL winter Camp held in Malaysia for students from Korea. I was the art, drama, dance, and singing ESL teacher! I taught 6 classes per day with about 25 students in each class. The ages ranged from 5 years old up to 18! The kids were amazing, and always willing to join in, and do all the crazy things I planned for them. They started out shy and barely speaking but by the end of the season they were speaking so much! It was a wonderful and rewarding job that I will always remember.

I taught classes daily during my CELTA course in Chaing Mai.  I taught Beginner English, and also Upper Intermediate to small classrooms of about 8-12 students. Each class was observed by a qualified instructor and my peers. I was given feedback on each lesson and I learned a lot about how to be a better teacher during my time here. I base my teaching style upon what I learned while in training for my CELTA.

Prior to becoming an ESL teacher, I was a General Manager in the hospitality industry for many years. I worked in various National Parks ( Yosemite, Glacier, Denali, etc) in the United States and also at a Marine Park in Malaysia. My time managing resorts was incredible, and why I enjoy teaching business English now!

I worked as a Human Resources Associate for two years at Glacier National Park. I was responsible for hiring the seasonal summer staff each winter. I personally hired thousands of people and performed even more interviews. I also volunteered at the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and helped the local community to create resumes and prepare for interviews.

I have been teaching online with Italki since 2018. I have focused on teaching Business English, but have also taught beginners, and young learners. 
My lessons are individually planned for each student and each lesson comes with a set of online flashcards for the students to use after the lesson. 
I have consistently received high ratings and reviews from my students.
