About Me
italki teacher since May 8, 2024Interest topicReadingTravelEnvironment & NatureArtHistory
Hi, I’m Stacy and I am from California. I have been a college professor for 6 years, teaching art and art history and I recently began teaching English online after finishing my 190-hour TEFL Certification. I have traveled all over the world and am currently working on moving to Japan. I love learning new things and meeting people through language exchange. My interests include art, politics, history, literature, environmental issues, travel, pets, fitness and so many other things. So, if you are hoping to cover a variety of topics in your English lessons, I can help.Me as a Teacher
I believe that learning should be fun, engaging, and tailored to the goals of the student. Although I enjoy teaching beginners, I specialize in early intermediate to very advanced English. Because of my experience as an academic, I am particularly good at helping with academic English, including writing, presentation practice, and test prep. I am also qualified to teach business English, intermediate and advanced grammar and vocabulary acquisition, or conversation practice.My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my teaching content to each student based on their goals and interests. I use my own materials and skill-specific textbooks in addition to authentic reading and listening materials, including news articles, essays, short stories and podcasts. In a conversation class, for example, I might have the student read an essay before class so that we can work on debate strategies and polite disagreement. Or, if a student is refining a pitch for work, we can focus on persuasive writing and speaking. I also teach a general English class which includes speaking, reading, writing, and listening activities that present grammar and vocabulary in context.My teaching material

Really good experience. Stacy is well prepared, professional and energetic. She can cleanly understand my Chinglish and guided the whole conversation to a productive way. Recommended。
