About Me
italki teacher since Jan 22, 2015Interest topicBusiness & FinanceMedical & HealthcareTech
Hi! My name is Gretchen and I live in the Philippines! I am a certified English teacher, Registered Nurse and I own a small company selling personal care products. I also have my TESOL Certificate. Some of the areas in which I specialize are Business English, preparing students for job interviews, and speaking Practice for IELTS exam preparation.Me as a Teacher
I am TEFL certified to teach English as a foreign language. I have been teaching English online since 2012 and have taught over a hundred students from over ninety different countries. I’ve handled students from the beginning to advanced levels. Whether you are a complete beginner, or you want to further improve your communication skills in English, I can help you! My lessons are centered around the needs of my individual students.My lessons & teaching style
I like to tailor lesson materials to suit the needs of my students and I always have their goals, success, and best interests at heart.
My lessons are learner-centric and interactive. For example, I utilize materials like TED Talks for advanced students and discuss the topic during lessons. I also prepare vocabulary or common phrases from the TED talk video and encourage the student to use the words when speaking.My teaching material

She dives into a topic with a pre-lesson video, a expanded vocabulary and an in-depth conversation to help you get familiar with topic-specific expressions.

It's been very productive throughout the whole 1 hour session. I like Ms Gretchen's learning material about living and non living thing. Ms Gretchen showed various related topics and discussed with my girl deeply. She gave vocabulary to describe animals and corrected my girl's mistake. Thumbs up!

Great teacher, kind and patient. Well prepared and organized. She sends material in advance so you can read it and become familiar with the matter. She corrects mistakes.
I am learning a lot of new vocabularies. Thanks Gretchen.
