Me as a Teacher
I’m a friendly, patient and knowledgeable teacher. I balance between grammar and vocabulary, emphasizing conversational skills. My interests in health, arts, sociology, and philosophy blend cultural discussions into the classroom, promoting awareness of Britain, Europe, and America offering valuable insights into English-speaking cultures.
My classes are a comfortable, interactive learning environment. I encourage students to take risks and learn from mistakes. I believe grammar and vocabulary are essential foundations, for excellent conversational skills which I offer in every class.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is highly interactive, with approximately 80% of class time devoted to student practice using target vocabulary and phrases. The remaining 20% is reserved for guided tuition and feedback. I kickstart our sessions by introducing key vocabulary through texts or videos, demonstrating their real-world application. This combination of hands-on practice and constructive guidance ensures a balanced and effective learning experience, fostering both confidence and proficiency in the language.

I was so inspired by our first lesson, this is exactly what I was expecting when I joined iTalki to level up my English - Sam asked me thought-provoking questions, and stimulated me to share my opinion on a range of topics, which made my brain work intensely. Looking forward to our next lessons!

My 1st class with Sam. Sam correct my mistaken grammar and I just enjoy this class and class just finished in a blink of an eye. He is the coolest teacher I've ever know.

Although I just take one lesson now, l feel that he is a great teacher out of my expectation. I will take more lessons in the future if my budget is enough.
