About Me
italki teacher since Nov 30, 2018
Me as a Teacher
My teaching philosophy is simple, yet effective. I inspire students to gain confidence in their language learning journey, by uncovering the fear that prevents students speaking. I believe that when students are encouraged in their area of concern, they can see their errors as learning opportunities and therefore begin to improve. I do this by working on all the key skill areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
I have a CELTA qualification. In 2016, I taught English conversation classes at CCAA and Cultura Inglesa, in Piracicaba, Brazil. I currently work as a Teacher Aide & ESOL tutor at a primary school, am a group fitness instructor, and a wellness coach. I love helping others!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are upbeat and fun. I like to encourage students to have as much spoken practice as possible during my lessons. I use Google Documents and document and screen sharing via Skype as well.
My lessons are designed with your goals in mind. I can create any lesson to include material that helps you become more confident in whichever areas you need, whether that be; reading, writing, listening, or speaking.
I can also create homework exercises that are fun and relevant to each student’s individual goals and needs, and provide helpful error feedback at the end of each lesson.
I look forward to meeting you.My teaching material

Work Experience
2016 - 2016
Guest Speaker - Conversation ClassesThis experience has helped me become more empathetic towards other students who are learning another language. It can be very challenging to speak in front of others in a second language. I also learnt how wonderful it is to meet new people and help them to gain confidence in speaking a second language.
