Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 21 Jun 2021InterestsScienceReizenFilms & TV SeriesArtHistory
Hi everyone! My name is Purnima and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I've worked as a university ESL instructor for more than 10 years and I have a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and have been teaching on italki for three years . I've lived in America for more than four years, and I've also lived in India for 20 years, and in Thailand for 17 years. I teach English and Hindi online and I have students from all different parts of the world. I've taken the TOEIC test and I have a perfect score of 990.
I love Salsa and Bachata dancing, and I am a trained classical Indian dancer. I love travelling and have been to over thirty countries.Ik als leerkracht
I'm a very kind and compassionate teacher and I always put students' needs before mine. I am a very good listener and a problem solver. I love getting to know each student, and finding out about their dreams and goals in life, so I can work around that and help them as much as I can to remain inspired and help them achieve their goals in any way that I can. I respect each student's identity and I appreciate the different personalities of students and the special things that they have to offer as an individual.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I'm a very open-minded teacher and my classes are student-centered. I give students a lot of time in class to share their opinions and ask me questions about the topic being taught. I always have short warm-up activities for each lesson so that the students get comfortable and are presented with a background of the topic that would be discussed in class. I like having a lot of communicative activities in my lessons such as role-plays, gap-fill exercises, debates, and discussions. I always check student's understanding of the lesson at different stages, and I make sure that I'm teaching at an appropriate pace.Mijn lesmateriaal

I have been enjoying my Hindi lessons with Purnima. She does a really great job at making Hindi very approachable and is great at creating different conversational topics that are relatable and useful. I have done 10 lessons or so and I can really see the impact the lessons have made!

I just started my Hindi lessons with Purnima and she has been excellent in helping with my conversational practice. A lot of her material is good for day to day use and she is great at breaking down words and sentences so that way it is easily understood. 10/10 recommend!
