About Me
italki teacher since Sep 8, 2011
I am a certified English teacher and have been teaching for almost ten years. Throughout my teaching career I have taught primary to high school students, adult learners, business English, and test preparation (IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL, etc.).
I have lived in China, Korea, Thailand, and Singapore. I enjoy getting to meet students from all over the world, learning about their culture and helping them reach their language goals. 我教过中国学生,希望我也可以帮助你。
I started my teaching career during my senior year of high school when I taught in a 3rd grade classroom. In university I tutored exchange students in English, and have even tutored children in piano. Since then I've spent almost 5 years teaching in different countries.
As much as I like teaching languages I also enjoy learning languages. This helps me see things from your perspective and understand how to most effectively help you reach your goals.
Our lessons will be focused around what you want to learn. We will use news & magazine articles, text documents, images, graphs, and so on to help you speak speak English and enjoy learning.
I'm easy going and like to have fun with my students while helping you get the results you want.

Great course. I feel my progress in just five classes. But more importantly, my interest in learning English has increased a lot.

Matt has sincere and humle personalities. He encouraged me to speak more by asking questions. He tried to blend in the conversation so I felt comfortable to share my stories and forgot about the time.
