Hi! My name is Anna, and I teach English on Italki. I'm a language lover, and have been since I was a child, when I would make up my own alphabets and beg my mom to speak in Spanish, just so I could hear it. I love reading and writing, as well as drawing and listening to music. I currently live in South Texas, where I care for my many animals.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I try to approach teaching from a point of view empathetic to the learner. Whatever your goals, struggles, or questions may be, my goal is to discover and prioritize them, hopefully advancing your language learning in the quickest, but also thoroughest, way possible. I can also empathize with students, as I've been a language learner since high school, so I know the pitfalls and confusion it's possible to fall into!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
To me, sitting and reading a textbook is not the most effective method of learning. Instead, I try to focus on the most natural ways of learning a language, through conversation, listening, writing, and reading. The lessons can be as conversation-based or lesson-based as needed, depending on your English level and goals. It can be pure talking with no writing, it can be reading comprehension with homework, or it can be anything in between! Whatever works best for your personal learning style. I hope to prepare you for whatever real-world situations you may come across, and whatever you may need English for!
