Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 9 Nov 2017Interest topicFoodReizenMedical & Healthcare
Learn to confidently and effectively communicate better in 'real world' situations. My practical approach focuses on improving speaking and listening skills for everyday social interactions, in casual conversations or business purposes.
Enjoy fun and interesting conversations about a wide range of topics with a friendly teacher that knows how to make you feel comfortable! One of my strongest skills is my ability to quickly evaluate the needs of each student to start working on the areas of communication that need the most practice and attention.
Together, we will work through each skill that you need to improve in a way that keeps you focused and motivated to continue in the next lesson.Ik als leerkracht
My name is Amy Whitney and I am a native English speaker from Canada with clear pronunciation and a neutral accent. I have been teaching English since 2013 and have helped hundreds of students to improve their listening and speaking skills to feel confident communicating in English many different situations.
Typically, I work with students from a pre-intermediate level (basic conversation skills) to upper-advanced. The lessons are modified to meet your needs as a student and your level.
My practical approach always focuses on the areas that you are most concerned about. Together, we can improve your skills by doing very specific activities and build your confidence.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven

Amy is the best teacher I've ever had. She is a fantastic listener, teacher and friend. You can talk to her about any topic you like and she’s always is interested in learning things about you and your culture. Amy has helped me to prepare to a job interview, she was able to combine patience with a huge amount of motivation and those points really helped me to get ready for the interview. Furthermore, It is clear that Amy has a lot of experience in the business world, and she was able not only to teach me English, but also to coach me as a businessperson. Amy, can’t wait for another 20 sessions with you 😉

I've completed 21 classes with Amy on italki. She is very passionate about teaching English, and a very experienced teacher. Focusing on spontaneous conversation was very helpful for my improvement. She encouraged me to use English with no fear to express my idea and opinion in English. It is really that connection is vital prior to perfection. Thank you for backing me up, Amy!

I have been having classes with Amy for two years since now but the last one probably was the better I've ever had. We talked about the awful situation we 're living in Italy because of Coronavirus outbreak, (so nothing good!) but Amy as usual was so kind, so smiley and supportive that she made my day better. Amy is not only a very good teacher but shs's, above all, such a nice person and I love to improve my English with her!
