About Me
italki teacher since Apr 8, 2017InterestsBusiness & FinanceTechMarketing
Think of me more as a professional English coach. I hold a Master's degree in Teaching and a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Business. I have professional experience in the marketing and sales industries and I have taught English for nine years. My clients include engineers, scientists, lawyers, computer/technology professionals, app designers, consultants, managers, entrepreneurs, PhD students, and many others from Asia, Europe and South America. I offer encouragement for students looking to build their confidence speaking English.Me as a Teacher
As a native English speaker, I specialize in on-the-job practice, building confidence, and pronunciation. I speak "neutral American English," which is the accent appearing on TV series and Hollywood movies. I have a Master's degree in teaching and a Bachelor's degree in journalism and business. I emphasize literacy and fluency. Feel free to check that out if you want to hear more examples of me speaking about books or Business Idioms.My lessons & teaching style
Lessons can be approached two ways:
1.) Informal Tutoring courses use “small talk”/conversational practice (travel, culture, news, politics, movies, food, etc.), or
2.) Business English courses practice industry-specific dialogue (Business English, Professional English, Job Interview preparation, etc.).
My goal is to have you speak as much as possible and also incorporate listening to TV series or TED Talks. I make time for reading short passages on a variety of different topics.My teaching material
