About Me

italki teacher since Jun 21, 2014

I am an American living in Canada who loves art, yoga, nature, and languages. I speak English and French fluently and can get by in Irish, Spanish, and Italian. I am an actor and performance artist, who likes to explore endangered and threatened languages through theatre. I try to see myself as teacher and an artist, I have a strong background in education with over a decade of experience teaching people in many different forms: traditional classroom (French and Theatre classes in the US public Education System), yoga studios, artistic workshops, academia, and online. I bring all the skills I have honed in my life into my teaching to help my students succeed and to create interesting and dynamic lessons to help language learners interact with language in new and playful ways. As a teacher I am very focused to help my students to do the best that they can. I see my self as a "language coach" so I can tailor lessons to be specific to the student instead of relying on set lesson plans that I have used in the past I seek to create lessons that can help my students succeed in their language learning goals.
