About Me
italki teacher since Apr 28, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesTravelReading
Hello! My name is Megan and here's a little bit about me: I'm American, born in Ohio (right in the middle), although I have lived in cities like New Orleans and Los Angeles. I currently live and work in South America (sí! hablo español, aunque no hago clases en español). As you can imagine, I love to travel, but I also love to read, to dance, and to watch movies, especially indie films. I am a reasonably good cook (or try to be!) and an excellent baker.Me as a Teacher
I am an experienced TEFL teacher with over 10 years experience teaching English to adults (and a few adolescents). My specialty is business English as I have taught many top executives here in Santiago, and I'm familiar with the office lingo from KPIs to supply chains. I have taught all levels of students from absolute beginner to advanced students, and I have also taught TOEFL and TOEIC prep courses. I have experience developing curriculum materials and course programs, so I have lots of resources to share with my students!My lessons & teaching style
My classes are personalized to the requirements and needs of each student. It is very important that while I teach the essentials such as grammar and vocabulary, I make sure to put these concepts in a context that is relevant to you. For example, I do not give a sample sentence like "Jane walks the dog" to describe the present simple, but rather, I use an example that involves the life of my student, so he or she will know when and why to use that structure. Also, I like to incorporate games and news stories related to current events to help keep the classes fresh and lively!My teaching material
