About Me
italki teacher since Nov 14, 2016
I am a New York Native with a passion for language learning and software development. And enjoy learning new skills like new software libraries or spoken languages. Currently I split my time between Spain and the United States.
I have extensive experience preparing students to sit the IELTS and Cambridge English exams. And have helped many students get hired as software developers in English speaking countries. Beyond English grammar I know the job market in English speaking countries well and pride myself on helping my students get hired.
I try to encourage students to learn English the Hard Way. This means taking the time to fix grammar mistakes and pronunciation in a disciplined manner using different exercises such as tongue twisters and traditional grammar exercises. My courses all begin with an assessment test to offer students a customized learning plan.
