About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2014Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am dedicated to helping students achieve their goals in improving their level of English. I have experience teaching both online and in the classroom and am passionate about forming productive working relationships with my students and helping them reach their desired level of fluency. In class, I believe it is essential to create a comfortable and supportive environment where students feel confident to express themselves and make progress. My aim is to empower my students to reach their full potential and achieve their goals.My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I strive to understand each student's unique learning style and motivation for improving their English. I believe that feedback and error correction are essential to the learning process, and I make it a priority to provide both during our interactions. I aim to identify and fill gaps in students' knowledge by providing clear explanations and relevant examples. Additionally, I am flexible and adaptable to my student's preferences when it comes to the level of formality in the class. My goal is to create a personalized and effective learning experience that aligns with each student's individual needs.Certificates

It's been close to a year since I started taking lessons with Gary and please believe me when I say it's one of the best moments of my week. I learn a lot in every lesson and I feel that my pronunciation is getting really good. It's a long way to get an american accent, but with a teacher like Gary, the trip is a pleasure, and results do come.

Gary is an extremely supportive and flexible teacher. He always makes sure I’m comfortable with my English in every topic I’m interested in. He helped me to better control my grammar, expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation and always gave a clear idea how to produce more native sentences. I've never been bored or disappointed, because our lessons are challenging and engaging. Gary has a rich life experience and he is a great conversationalist. Thank you for our lessons, I look forward to our next lesson.

Today I have my 200th lesson with Gary. During this time, my English has improved significantly - I was able to move to an English-speaking country, better understand native speakers and have good pronunciation. The lessons helped me not only to prepare for the exams but also to work in English. I recommend Gary to everyone.
