Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 8 Aug 2014Interest topicFinanciënArtMuziek
Hello! I'm Tamara from the United States. Currently I am living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At university I majored in foreign languages and learned six of them: Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian and Danish. I couldn't get enough of them! I love language learning and language teaching. It is my passion!
When I'm not teaching, I like oil painting and gardening and investing. I also enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities like hiking, backpacking, skiing, camping, swimming, biking and playing tennis.
I have traveled in most of the countries of Western Europe, New Zealand, Israel, Turkey, parts of Central and South America and China, where I lived.Ik als leerkracht
I have my feet in two worlds, the world of education and the world of business. I have two Master's degrees, one in Education-Teaching English as a Foreign Language and the other in Business Administration. I have taught English at two universities, a French school, many corporations and online. I have also worked in banking and finance. I particularly like online teaching since it is one-to-one and I get to know my students well. My specialties are conversation and Business English and English for Investors. My students are intermediate level or advanced. I do not teach children or teenagers.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
For conversation classes, I like to have my students speak at least 75% of the time. I prepare topics to discuss and the student can also introduce topics. I customize the lesson according to the student's needs and interests.
For one of my classes, I always send my students an article to read or a video to watch before class, then we discuss it during the lesson. I do give homework.
Business English classes are totally customized according to the student's company, job requirements and English skills. English for Investors is customized according to the students' knowledge of finance and interests.Mijn lesmateriaal

Highly recommended!
Tamara is simply fantastic. She has a natural gift for teaching and can explain what appear to be the most complex things in memorable and easy-to-digest gems. Before, I was even not able to converse with English speakers, while, after learning with Tamara, guess what, I passed PWC’s interviews, got plenty of offers, and I’m giving lectures in English!!!
Classes with Tamara have been so worthwhile!!!

I started having classes with Tamara with a decent level of English but no confidence and speed to talk.
After 15 classes my English level improved so much that I was able to do many job interviews by phone successfully. One of them was a panel interview with 6 different people, part of them using masks over the video call. At the end, I got the job. Actually, I got 2 job offers and could choose the one that fits me the most. Apart from my background and technical knowledge, the English was a great part of this achievement, since doesn’t matter your background and previous experiences if you are unable to tell them properly in a job interview.
I would not have done it without Tamara’s help. She prepared me for this moment and I’m just glad I met her.

It was a great lesson as usual. We talked about options, futures, and the current situation on the stock market. Before each lesson, Tamara asks what I would like to learn and prepares material on this topic. I highly recommend the Business English package if you want to not only improve your English, but also understand how the financial system works.
