About Me
italki teacher since Nov 16, 2021InterestsMusicFoodReadingTravel
Hi language learners! I'm a passionate teacher and language lover from New Zealand. Through my own language learning journey I realised that I wanted my career to involve languages, so I became a qualified English language teacher. I've now been teaching English for just over 5 years. I have learned Portuguese, Spanish and recently started Cape Verdean Creole. I love traveling, reading, cooking, listening to music, and making playlists.Me as a Teacher
I have been English language teaching since 2018 and am qualified with a Cambridge CELTA teaching certificate, a NZ Certificate in Language Teaching and a degree in Psychology. I have taught both children and adults from all over the world and have experience teaching a wide range of course types. I have taught conversational, grammar, general English for adults and general English for children.My lessons & teaching style
No matter what lesson type you choose, every lesson will give you plenty of opportunities to practice and add to what you know. Each lesson will include a self-made lesson document, a range of interesting activities, and engaging materials that we will utilise. During the class, take the opportunity to ask questions at any time about those parts of English that you have always found confusing or difficult; I love questions! I will also give you feedback and suggested self-study activities related to each lesson.
Soon I will open up more course types that suit different learning goals and levels. For now, please check out the current available course information in my lessons section.My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
It was my first class speaking to a native English speaker, and I was a little anxious. Anna was very patient and gave me a calming tone when speaking.
She organized the class into topics, which made communication much easier. I already knew what the topics would be and was able to prepare myself.
She also showed me her study material, which was very well organized. And after the class, she sent me a list of the main questions I had during the class.
I recommend Anna as a teacher, she will definitely help you acquire the knowledge you want. Thank you very much Anna.
