About Me
italki teacher since Mar 18, 2019Me as a Teacher
I've taught English for the past three years to children, teenagers, and adults, in Mexico and New York, and also online to students worldwide, especially with students from Brazil, China, Korea, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.
My preparation: a B.A. in American Civilization from Brown University, an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University.
I was a journalist for newspapers, magazines, and web magazines for 8 years! So I am also a super pro at helping students with writing.My lessons & teaching style
First, I talk to students to discover their needs. Then I design lessons to best help them meet their goals. I like to use many resources for teaching: grammar websites, news articles, discussion questions, songs, and TV shows, among others.My teaching material

Franziska is such an incredible Spanish tutor! She is very adaptable and provides meaningful examples and situations to ensure you understand not only what the content means, but also how it is used. I look forward to my lessons with her as she is always in a good mood and ready to engage :)

Franzika is more than just an extremely qualified language teacher - Currently, she is my life coach for my step-by-step approach for my future working field: I wanna start with language online teaching in my native German for English and French speaking economists. I love her ability to simplify complicated matters in order to be easy understood for everyone. Franziska, thank you very much again for this past lesson.
