About Me
italki teacher since Feb 14, 2017Interest topicSports & FitnessTravelReadingFoodEnvironment & Nature
I'm a happy full-time volunteer. I like to keep things simple and see where I can do some good. I decided to pursue this career when I was 13, and I swear, I've never gone back! Sometimes it means giving things up, but there is always more to be found. Oh, and I fell in love with a man with a motto: "Get cape. Wear cape. Fly."Me as a Teacher
Keep it simple. A good teacher is an excellent student. I teach myself first. We learn together.
Keep a sense of humor, while respecting everyone's dignity. Don't get stuck.
Enjoy the process, but keep your eyes on the prize!
I've always loved teaching and reading and studying- EXCEPT for grammar. But when I started to see the practical applications of grammar knowledge in the TESL field, I loved it! I get lost in the grammar study so you don't have to. I'll tell you only what you need to know. I especially enjoy teaching B-1, B-2 levels who are looking to improve conversation skills.My lessons & teaching style
Classes are dynamic and progressive. In a structured yet informal way, we will break into new comfort zones of language use through conversation and feedback, with supplemental activities scattered throughout. Homework is optional but encouraged.My teaching material

Taking lessons with Courtny is a real pleasure. She encourages me to speak in a friendly atmosphere. She knows how to manage the class very well. She teaches me new words and idioms and helps me learn from mistakes.

Estoy aprendiendo muchísimo con Courtney! Me está ayudando a practicar conversación y a preparar una presentación para el trabajo y sus aportaciones están siendo una ayuda enorme. Me encanta su forma de enseñar, especialmente como me explica la fonética y cómo me va dejando anotaciones en nuestro documento compartido. Gracias!!!
