About Me
italki teacher since Dec 31, 2014Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching ESL to adults for several years and provide topics to stimulate conversation. I also help with advanced writing techniques to enable writers to express themselves clearly in English. My style is informal. I expect the English learners in my classes to know at least the basics of English, so my focus is to enable non-native speakers to become more comfortable using the language, both spoken and written, in a practical way.My lessons & teaching style
I teach only adults 18 years old and over. We discuss a wide variety of topics and I am willing to learn with students about any subject, from nature to tech, food, travel, anything of interest that helps the English learner to become more comfortable. During our conversations, I gently remind students of proper grammar usage, encourage use of new vocabulary, and answer questions about the best way to communicate in English. For writing, I review work and offer suggestions to clarify meaning and encourage self-expression.My teaching material
