About Me
italki teacher since Oct 2, 2016Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesPets & AnimalsWriting
Hello.
One of the things I like to do is learn from my students, so many times we discuss what they do, their everyday lives, and their work and family.
This allows me to understand how to help them, see their worlds and travel with them to their countries. I love my job, and it is amazing to share their language experience.
In the past, I’ve been fortunate to travel to parts of USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe.
As a personal note, I do enjoy challenging conversations about relevant topics.Me as a Teacher
Teaching is a family profession. Afterwards, I started working very young, and have continued teaching ever since for more than 25 years. I’ve taught various groups: from kindergarten all the way up to post-graduate.
A teacher should always study and continue to learn. So through my career I’ve gathered many certificates, diplomas and other documents including TOEFL Test preparation, First Certificate, Advanced Reading, Teaching by Competences, etc.
Graduated with a minor in Human Resources, I’ve also studied ESL for business skills like job interviews, accounting, importing and exporting in North America, and customer service.My lessons & teaching style
In the first lesson I usually do a simple game that allows me to diagnose your level, your needs and areas to work on. Afterwards, I ask students to think of their goals.
We plan a program based on your own needs and goals using online resources, books, PDFs, images, etc. The lesson can include (a student may chose) homework that is checked outside class time, and all classes are provided with written notes so students can, after the lesson, review the vocabulary or structures addressed.
Flexibility is key, so open communication is encouraged because it's about helping you achieve your goal.My teaching material

Leslie masters perfectly the art of conversation. As well as the substance (interesting topics with well-read teacher, varied vocabularies, English expression, pronunciation , grammar rules) than the form ( sense of humor, vivid tone, casual behavior).

Since it was my first lesson with Leslie, we had easy conversations like self-introduction and a couple of questions. Leslie pointed out my pronunciation problem and then gave me practical tips to improve. She is a really passionate and experienced teacher. I had fun talking to her.

"Stay calm, take your breathe and relax."
Although this suggestion is still hard for me at present,
it is an undoubtedly useful suggestion guiding me to begin withstanding the pressure.
I will try my best to carry out it.
