Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 23 Jun 2021InterestsWritingReizenReadingFoodHistory
Hello and welcome! I'm Mindy from Los Angeles—an architect, writer, and accent-certified English teacher.
Languages, travel, and words are my passion: I'm a world-traveler who's been to 45 countries and all 50 U.S. states, and I've learned French 🇫🇷, Italian 🇮🇹, and Spanish 🇲🇽 to a conversational level while dabbling in a dozen others, so my teaching is founded in both pedagogy and very personal experience as a student and teacher of languages. I'm specialized in (and quite passionate about) American English accent training... or maybe I've just spent too much time in Hollywood 😄
Please feel free to send me a message anytime. I'm excited to meet you!Ik als leerkracht
My goal is to help you feel confident and powerful when you speak English. I'm professionally certified both as a teacher and as an American accent coach, but more importantly than that—I'm a language learner too. I've taken classes on Italki sitting on your side of the screen. I've struggled with pronouncing foreign sounds; I've streamlined learning techniques; I've studied the science of studying languages. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience of all the things that have helped me, and now I'm ready to use it helping you!
Beyond that, I'm curious and interested in almost everything, and I *love* meeting new people from around the world. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are relaxed, warm, and friendly, with as much structure as you individually require—I will be your teacher, coach, friend, and guide! As my student, I want you to feel motivated, inspired, and excited to come to each and every lesson. I'll empower you with resources, guide your learning, and cheer you on every step of the way because nothing makes me happier than seeing my students improve, find their confidence, have breakthroughs, and get increasingly fluent.Mijn lesmateriaal

Before booking classes with Mindy, I didn't know if I would be able to learn American Accent in depth. As a teacher myself, I would say that not only she is an amazing teacher but her dedication is beyond amazing. If your goal is to improve your English then don't wait and book classes with her and you'll feel accomplished.
