About Me

italki teacher since Dec 30, 2010

I have lived in the US all my life. I've lived in California, Colorado, Oregon, Indiana and Michigan. Now I live in northern Indiana and have been, off and on, for many years. The air is clean here and there are cows and horses, but I often miss both the bigger city life and the mountains of other places I've lived. I ride a Trek bicycle as bike riding is good exercise and enjoyable. I love talking about nutrition and I love getting to know different countries on our planet. I have a BA degree in Natural Science, with 2 years of biology and 2 years of Spanish. I am very interested in wavelengths of light. I've been experimenting with growing celery, using an indoor LED grow light. What originally led me to teaching were my high school teachers and my mother who always has talked about her grandfather that was a teacher. Teaching is a noble profession. I enjoy explaining how we in the US say the words (pronounce them) and how we put sentences together so they sound right. I think I'm a good teacher of English. Topics vary. I demonstrate with objects I have so you understand exactly what something is or exactly what the concept is. It's important to learn how to feel English so you're not always translating from your language as you speak. When I first started giving these lessons I did them on the road as I also had a driving job. I gave my lessons from McDonald's all around the country. It was very exciting. That way my students got to travel with me. Latel...
