***I TEACH ONLY ON SKYPE***
Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! Here's a quick personal introduction: my favorite topics to discuss include food, dance, music, fine arts, fashion, technology, philosophy, literature, and everyday musings. My hobbies include cooking, dancing, drawing, painting, designing, and making fun things. My life and travels have taken me to many places far and wide, with some very interesting adventures. I'd love to share more during our classes, and hear about your adventures!
Ich als Lehrkraft
***I TEACH ONLY ON SKYPE***
I have been teaching ESL for a total of 35 years, and have been a certified ESL teacher for 29 years. My passion for teaching comes from my own love of learning languages. I currently speak five languages, and am looking forward to learning more! My firsthand understanding of the challenges one faces when learning a new language gives me a rare insight into how to address students' needs. One of my specialties is bringing students out of their shells, helping them overcome shyness or fear around making mistakes. Seeing my students smile and have fun while learning is my greatest source of joy when teaching. Having fun truly is the best way to learn!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
***I TEACH ONLY ON SKYPE***
**I DO NOT USE ITALKI CLASSROOM.**
**I ONLY ACCEPT LESSON REQUESTS WITH SKYPE ID.**
I WORK WITH STUDENTS WITH PROFICIENCY LEVEL OF B1 OR HIGHER.
I WORK WITH STUDENTS AGED 18+.
YOU MUST HAVE VIDEO ENABLED.
RECORDING IS NOT ALLOWED, EVER.
Each lesson is customized, because students’ needs and goals can change over time. What I expect from students is their commitment to improve their English, and to keep an open mind and heart. I only use total immersion in my lessons. Trust me, it really works! I also use visual aids and links to helpful reference materials when needed.

Shari is such a wonderful teacher! Her voice is patient and natural, and she provides so much advice and so many suggestions in just a one-hour lesson. She is also 100% enthusiastic about helping you improve.

It was really a great lesson - the conversation flowed naturally from one topic to another and time passed far too quickly. I definitely recommend this teacher for conversation lessons.
