About Me
italki teacher since Oct 24, 2016Me as a Teacher
As your teacher my job is to get you to your goal. It is also my job to make sure you enjoy the process. No matter if you are building fluency for travel or studying intensely for an exam, you learn better when your classes are fun. As your one-on-one personal teacher I am able to tailor the class to your specific needs. I keep records of all our classes and we reinforce your focus areas regularly so that all classes match what you need to focus on. I look forward to working with you in class!My lessons & teaching style
In order for you to progress you must speak, speak, speak and enjoy your classes by talking about subjects that are important and interesting to you. I use a structured course and modify it to your needs and interests. Grammar and new words are much easier to learn and remember when they are connected to the things that interest you.My teaching material

He is the best teacher I've ever had, I've been working with him since 2016 and I've got my B2, C1 and C2 levels with him. Thank you for everything and of course I will continue with him

Amazing lesson，I believe that any person who follows the teacher's suggestion will have great success in language. the atmosphere of class is active, the teacher has a good sense of humor, and it will motivate students to learn new words and correct mistakes.I am over the moon during the class and have the desire to learn English.I was lucky to meet him,hoping to get the target score at an early time in the IELTS test.
