Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 8 Aug 2014InterestsReizenArtWritingFinanciënMuziek
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.
When I'm not teaching, I like reading and watching videos about finance, macroeconomics and investing. I also enjoy painting, gardening and writing poetry.
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, presentations and job interviews. My students are intermediate level or advanced. I do not teach children or teenagers.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Above all, I like my classes to be meaningful, instructive and fun. I provide my students material to read or listen to before the class begins so that the student feels prepared. I also like to encourage spontaneous communication about the student´s life, experience or work. If I notice any errors, I correct them immediately in the chat section which I post to the italki message page. For grammar errors, I usually give students exercises to do at home. We then correct them in class. For job interviews, I give students a list of questions to answer and review their resumes and other relevant material. When a student does a presentation, I allow him/her to record it in class.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!!!

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.

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.
