Over mij

italki leerkracht sinds 28 Mar 2016

Hey there! I'm Jan Elie, a Spanish and English professor here on italki. I have been teaching languages for 9 years and counting. My training in teaching started in the United States but I have taught in Colombia, Brazil and now Haiti. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and now I am currently learning French. Teaching languages is my profession however employing language is my passion. I believe that l have a special knack for languages and I really enjoy sharing my knowledge with students and peers. I have even given lessons to teachers here on italki! Aside from languages, I enjoy travelling and discovering new cultures through food.

Ik als leerkracht

Many students tell me they really appreciate my bright personality and eagerness to listening. I would have to agree with them.The amount of time I spend talking is directly related to the level of the student. I like to follow the 40/60 rule for beginners, the 70/30 rule for intermediate learners and the 90/10 rule for advanced students. This means that if you are just starting to learn a language, you should be speaking 40% of the lesson, 70% if you are at an intermediate level, and 90% if you are at an advanced level. If you ever feel like your teacher is talking too much during the class, you're probably right! Feel free to let us know. I personally enjoy when students push boundaries.

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven

I offer two types of lessons: conversational and traditional. My traditional classes are guided by grammar. My conversation lessons are my most popular. You can expect to have a specific topic, for example "the importance of work ethic" where I will ask you specific questions. In these lessons, I will focus on making corrections as you speak while also asking you follow up questions related to grammar. For example if you say "I didn't do nothing" I will give you a chance to correct yourself -->(I didn't do ANYTHING).After we discover the correct answer, I would ask you "What is the difference between anything vs nothing? This way we are practicing conversation but at the same time grammar.

Keuze van de leerkracht

I count myself lucky to have Jan as my teacher. She makes the classes fun, explains really well, very patient and challenges me to achieve my goal. Love my classes with Jan and am always looking forward to our next session. I can highly recommend Jan to other students who would like to learn Spanish or English.
