About Me
italki teacher since Sep 4, 2017
I am an English teacher :-) ! I like teaching English and meeting new people :-) ! I like travelling, too :-) ! And reading books...Louise Hay is my favorite author! We can both find the right topic for you...:-)
You have probably already been in that situation where you are talking to someone, the conversation dies down and you are both just sitting there as you try to think of a topic to talk about and try to find a right word and an appropriate phrase.
Definitely awkward...you have to admit...but hopefully :-)...I can help you avoid such situations in the future.
I can help you improve your fluency and pronunciation and develop your ideas into a logical and natural-sounding phrasing.
I have been improving my teaching methods through years by attending seminars in different fields and trying to find the easiest possible way to help my students learn a foreign language effectively.I like being a teacher because at the same time I teach my students and learn from them as well. There is nothing more valuable for me than seeing a happy smile on the student's face after having some difficulties while learning a language and finally managing to overcome them.
I use interactive materials during the lessons. I will always try to adjust the lessons to your needs. My lessons are fun and effective, you will enjoy them :-) !!!!
