About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2014Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I strive to be adaptable and tailor my lessons to meet each student's needs. With over 10 years of experience, I'm well-versed in the challenges non-native speakers often face, and I work diligently to address these while ensuring that lessons remain informative and engaging. Understanding that learning can sometimes be daunting, I aim to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere in every session.My lessons & teaching style
Which lessons are right for you?
• General Conversation: If you want to build confidence and fluency.
• Focused Lessons: If you aim to improve your grammar or expand your vocabulary.
• Exam Preparation: If you're preparing for tests like IELTS, CAE, or TOEFL.
In each lesson, I use materials tailored to the lesson type. For instance, in a conversation lesson, I might use articles or images to stimulate discussion. For exam preparation, I may incorporate sample tests to enhance your familiarity and readiness. I'm also open to suggestions and willing to incorporate any materials that could be beneficial.My teaching material

It is incredible how I feel more comfortable to express me and share knowledge with Siya. The class flies. Sometimes I propose one type of lesson/class and other she brings a rich material for we discuss. I can see my progress in each class. It's very important share cultural knowledge with her, because Syia lives in South Africa and me in Brazil, so have a lot of subjects in common and other extremely different and that's makes my class will be exciting.

The class with Siya has been fantastic. It has been prepared a lot. He gave me a lot of advice for the interview.
She always tries to understand you, even if my English is not the best in the world.
