About Me

italki teacher since Feb 16, 2017

Hi, I'm Stephen and I'm excited about helping you learn English! You will love learning with me! :D I am an expert in emotional intelligence, leadership, relationships, conflict management, and overcoming emotional blocks. (like the fear of speaking a second language) ;) I also have extensive training in business related areas, such as career planning, marketing, sales, customer service, and interviewing. We will primarily have conversationally based classes that will help you: - communicate confidently and clearly in every situation - prepare for interviews and presentations - get into universities, and - comfortably build closer relationships with English speakers Learning English with me feels like learning English with a friend, except I will correct your mistakes. =P I will happily share with you all the knowledge I have gained while living in 7 countries and learning 4 languages. You will like: - My understanding of how to learn a language - My relaxed, patient, friendly style - My genuine desire to help you improve :) I provide a fun, easy to understand learning style, in a positive, encouraging atmosphere. (= I follow the "Comprehensible Input" approach to language learning based on research that shows students learn languages by listening and reading messages that they understand--NOT by studying lists of vocabulary and memorizing grammar rules. The fastest way to learn English is also the most fun--listening and reading for pleasure! I look forward to me...

He helps me a lot to increase my self-confidence. If you have the same fear to speak as I do, you need this guy! =D I never saw a bad expression when I said something very awkward to him hahaha.
