關於我
於 2021年10月1日 成為 italki 教師趣味主題熱愛音樂閱讀歷史
Hi there! I am a US native from Chicago who somehow currently finds himself living on a volcano in Pasto, Colombia. My passion for languages developed over two magical years in the nearby city of Medellín, Colombia, where I taught English and began my Spanish learning journey. As you can imagine, I love to meet new people from around the world as learning about their cultures and histories keeps me feeling deeply inspired and ever-evolving. My passions include reading, writing, sports (especially hockey 🏒), music, film, as well as all things art, life, and nature. I also love to discuss world events and politics.我的教學經歷
What I love about being a teacher is seeing a new vocabulary word or grammar concept "click" for a student. When that light bulb goes off in the student's head, I feel a deep sense of purpose and joy seeing them grow in real time. Examples I often give in class include jokes, because I believe students learn better with a laugh. However, I am not a clown and won't force myself to be funny, because I know that can be obnoxious. My worst nightmare is a bored student. What's yours?
**ALSO** I DON'T GIVE LESSONS TO KIDS. I recommend searching for a teacher with experience teaching kids. There are some great ones on Italki!我的課程內容與教學風格
The topics of my conversation classes will always be catered to your personal preferences/needs. They will be focused on developing your abilities to produce English comfortably. We will strengthen your pronunciation skills and learn new vocabulary within the context of each topic. In order to keep you engaged and practicing your listening, I use videos to expose you to additional accents and informal language. In grammar classes, I will use a mix of inductive and deductive teaching methods, so that I don't only instruct, I allow you to discover how things work on your own. Generally speaking, classes will be laid back, fun, well-prepared, and always interesting.我的教材

Teaching IELTS Exam Prep - Bridge Education Group - 2022I completed a 20-hour course to become familiar with the format and sections of the different versions of the IELTS exam. I learned various tips from experienced test practitioners and analyzed in-depth each section of the exams and how they are scored. I also completed assignments related to lesson planning for a prep class and learned best practices for preparing students for the exam.

學歷
2006 - 2010
學士學位 - Arts AdministrationAt Indiana, I graduated with a 3.4 GPA majoring in arts administration and minoring in music. In addition, I was the co-director of the Arts Management branch of the BCEC (Business Careers in Entertainment Club).
工作經驗
2017 - 2019
English TeacherAt Blendex, I taught classes focused on developing the conversational skills of my students. In my two years there, I learned how to adapt to teaching students with varying levels of English. I also enhanced my abilities to keep conversations flowing and engaging and discovered techniques that helped me inspire even the shyest students to speak. I also taught many intermediate grammar lessons, a series of classes on essay writing, and even some IELTS preparation.
2019 - 2021
Tour GuideGiving tours is quite similar to teaching ESL. As a tour guide, every tour started with me providing around 30 minutes of group and personal instruction on a topic unfamiliar to my clients—in this case, how to operate a Segway. This required me to project my voice and speak in a clear and concise manner to people from all over the world, and hence, different levels of English. During the tours, I taught my clients a good deal of Chicago history, and I often used joke to keep them engaged.
2018 - 2021
English TeacherDuring my time in Medellín, I started to give private classes on the side, while teaching at Blendex. I am also currently conducting weekly online private classes with two pre-intermediate students in Bogotá. This experience has helped me develop my skills teaching remotely in one-on-one classes using a video chat platform.
2015 - 2017
Co-Writer and EditorWith a team of comedy writers, I co-wrote and edited the *satirical* book _Trump's America: Buy This Book and Mexico Will Pay for It_. Over the course the 2016 campaign for the US presidency, I honed my writing skills by producing satirical news articles and essays lampooning a potential Donald Trump presidency. I believe this experience, in addition to my other studies in writing, provide me with the confidence to aid students who may be looking to improve their English writing capabilities.

Interesting conversation topics! 👌🏻 Andrew gives you some activities to do before the lesson, based on what you are interested in. During lessons you can talk about these topics and/or do general conversation. You learn in an informal and effective way!
