个人简介

2020年4月15日起成为italki教师

Hi! My name is Krystin Balzarini and I am an American Sign Language interpreter and certified English instructor. I am a lover of linguistics and of learning languages, currently learning Japanese. I received my CELTA Pass-A certificate last fall, and I have been a volunteer teacher at the Washington English Center since January. Having been an adult language learner myself, I understand that it takes practice, an human connection, and a good sense of humor to get through the process. I am eager to make connections throughout the world with people who want to learn more about English and I look forward to learning more about their cultures as well.

教学经验

I aim to create a student-centered, communicative virtual classroom, where my student(s) are active throughout the entire class, whether conversing, listening with a goal in mind, writing, and asking/answering questions. I feel it is important to laugh and have some fun in every lesson, and welcome mistakes in order to learn and grow. If lessons aren't fun and become too burdensome for students, they might lost motivation and stop making progress toward their linguistic goals all together.

我提供的课程和我的教学风格

I have access to several textbook curriculums that I can use based on my students' needs and goals. I use visual elements like a white board, the text chat box, gestures, pictures, realia etc. to explain concepts to students in various ways. I am not afraid to stand up away from my computer and act something out, be silly, or draw pictures in order to generate understanding. I aim to create dynamic and active lessons where time passes quickly and students enjoy the learning process. I also encourage students to bring in real life language models (emails, books, articles etc.) so we can focus on what is most important to them and their lives.

证书
