About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2017
InterestsReadingWritingArtHistoryFilms & TV Series
Let's start with the obvious: there are not a lot of iTalki teachers with Doctorates in Philosophy. Consider me a niche tutor for niche students - like you - looking for something more than merely "English Lessons." My courses are all "Thinking Lessons," which happen to be in English. I'm a clear, logical, and original thinker, with extensive experience as an academic writer and years of interest in creative writing. In my 20 years of postsecondary training, I've received a BA in Linguistics, two MAs, and a PhD, I've studied 6 languages, and I've taught university-level courses from Philosophy to Research Writing to students from around the world.

Stephanie is the best English teacher that I ever met. She is not only a native speaker with skills of teaching English but also a great expert at academic sphere. Every cent that you spend on this class will be justified. Was a Great pleasure to meet Stephanie and speak to such smart and well-rounded person.

Stephanie is exceptional. As philosophy can sometimes feel a bit unnavigable and heavy for me. She reinvigorated my passion for philosophy by helping me to dissect my university readings such as Hegel, Dawkins and many more. She's instrumental in making me a better reader as well as a more demanding reader and consequently, it helped me to achieve greater clarity with my thoughts and hence more able to elucidate my thought process which of paramount importance to me. Thank you Dr. Stephanie.

Dr. Stephanie is one of the best instructors I had the luck to encounter in my life. I feel that her teaching style is perfectly adjusted to the intermediate/advanced student. Most people would agree that language learning is faster when the student is interested in the subject being discussed. Her classes most certainly provide all that, as they are intellectually challenging and extremely fun. Also, in spite of our love for language learning itself, I would risk saying that it is a medium, a tool for achieving other goals. In that sense, if you have high goals and wish to improve your English, general culture and reasoning skills, I can’t recommend enough that you give her classes a try.

It was lovely meeting Dr. Stephanie again after my interview. We did the interview preparation together, lessons were intelligent, explorative, and helpful, a good balance between challenge and fun. This lesson we discussed about university choices, even it meant to be casual we very productively listed many thoughtful questions for me to ask the university admission team.
