*I am a native English speaker from New York City. I specialize in teaching Russian and Chinese speakers how to communicate effectively in English by improving your pronunciation, intonation and fluency. For the past three years, I have worked closely with Russian and Chinese UI UX designers, software developers, project managers, and other professionals build their confidence through conversation, vocabulary, idioms and comprehension skills.

Me as a Teacher
As a TEFL certified teacher, I look forward to the challenge of teaching English particularly to Russian and Chinese speakers. I understand how important it is to perfect your English speaking skills rather than only writing and grammar learning. As a teacher I am very patient, mature, organized, motivated and excited to help my students learn quickly and thoroughly to speak English and feel confident doing so.
My lessons & teaching style
I will teach in English only and encourage you to speak as much English as you possibly can at all times. I will ask questions and give information, but I will limit the amount of time that I speak so that you are able to take full advantage of our time together speaking English! My lessons are adapted to suit small groups or individualized to teach students one-on-one. I will consider your English speaking level and base lessons off of that taking your age, experience, goals and abilities into consideration. The ultimate goal is to help you become more fluent and confident when speaking English.

It was my first lesson on Italki. Lori is really friendly and open person. We have discussed my study goals and then Lori explained her teaching methodology and gave me some recommendations regarding study and language practice. In general, I got a positive experience from the trial lesson.
