About Me
italki teacher since Nov 23, 2018InterestsHistoryTravelWritingFilms & TV SeriesReading
I'm both a teacher and a learner. I love learning new things - languages, cultures, skills, random facts... I also like teaching the same topics!
I'm quite an open-minded person. I'd talk about almost any topic and enjoy discovering other people's point of view on various subjects.Me as a Teacher
I've been a professional teacher for over 8 years now. I really enjoy this work. I've helped over 300 people from 50 different countries to achieve fluency and confidence in English communication.
Nowadays, I've drifted more towards English coaching. Rather than just helping learners gain new knowledge (grammar, vocabulary, phrases, etc.), I focus on helping learners develop their English communication skills and to apply these in real-life situations.
I'm easy-going and relaxed in the classroom, however I'm also strict about improvement and progress. This means that you can enjoy your time with me, but also be assured that you will make progress along the way 😌.My lessons & teaching style
Each person has a uniqe situation, set of skills, learning style, and goals. Therefore, I approach each learner in a different way, depending on their personal learning needs and goals. My lessons are personalised and totally focused on each individual.
I'm also into niche teaching. This means that I specialize in helping a certain group of learners:
*Business professionals who need English for work, who are already proficient in English (B2 - C2 levels), but need to work on improving certain skills.*
If you don't fall exactly into this category, don't worry. I can still help you, especially if your focus is on speaking practice 🙂
FYI: For the moment I'm only taking on ADULT learners.My teaching material
