个人简介
2020年8月25日起成为italki教师兴趣话题读书写作历史
NOTE: I'm currently available Mondays from 6-8am & 5-7pm EDT, but beginning in May 2024, I will be offering lessons 2:30-4:30pm EDT & 6-8pm EDT. (I work full time outside of iTalki so can't accommodate many other times).
• I majored in Philosophy and Theology in university and I love having abstract conversations about these topics.
• I play guitar and piano. Music is a big passion of mine, along with writing.
• Finally, of course, I love languages / linguistics. I speak Chichewa (due to living in Malawi for 3 years and the fact that my wife is a native speaker of this language), Swahili at an advanced level, and Spanish at an intermediate level. I'm currently learning Amharic.教学经验
I have been teaching English for 10 years, inside and outside of the United States. I primarily have experience teaching refugees in the US (particularly one-on-one) and I spent 2 years teaching English to secondary school students in Malawi, a small land-locked nation in Southern Africa. I have a TEFL certification in English and an LPI (OPI) certification from the ACTFL in Chichewa.我提供的课程和我的教学风格
ENGLISH: I treat most lessons more like conversations. I take notes as we talk and share these with you in a Word Doc after the lesson so that you can learn what you have done well and what still needs improvement. I organize them by grammatical topic, pronunciation issues, and new vocabulary learned. I do not give corrections during the lesson unless the student requests it. I tailor each lesson to the individual student and we will learn at your pace and comfort level.
CHICHEWA: I use a different structure you can find in the Chichewa lesson description. All of my Chichewa lessons have been reviewed by a native speaker to ensure accuracy.我的教学资料

证书
LPI Certificate in Chichewa - Superior - Peace Corps Malawi - 2019An extended oral interview which contained random and unexpected bits of small talk, along with a difficult scenario question surrounding an abstract topic. My scenario was to describe in detail how gender roles differed in the United States and Malawi, whether this was good or bad, and how the country should go about resolving negative aspects related to these gender norms. I scored a Superior, the highest possible score on the Peace Corps version of the ACTFL ranking system.

He has a genuine personality and is always genial and patient. I have gained a good improvement especially in my speaking skills with him. İn particular, the feedback notes about my weaker sides were very useful for me. Thanks, Austin. I look forward to booking new lessons.
