Me as a Teacher
I have worked with a wide range of students, from children to adults, from students to doctors to business professionals. The majority of my teaching work has been conducted 1-on-1 and online.
I received my 120-hour TEFL certification from Bridge Education Group in 2020.
My lessons & teaching style
I try to customize my lessons to each student's needs and goals as much as possible.
I enjoy teaching with real-world materials such as news articles, opinion pieces, and videos. I encourage my students to pre-study our materials and make flashcards for new vocabulary and grammar (e.g. with Anki or Quizlet) to review independently. I think our lesson time is best spent focusing on speaking.

I have studied with her for more than a year. We discussed news articles and I had opportunities to write my opinions about them. It helped my speaking and writing at the same time. Indiana is very gentle, polite and attentive, so I was not afraid of expressing myself. She is a real supporter of language learners.

Fantastic learning experience!
Indiana is a super duper english teacher and learning facilitator!
She is able to find the right topic to discuss, starting from your interests.
She asks very intelligent and generative questions that trigger and stimulate the conversation.
I appreciate a lot her real time feedback (given in a discrete and encouraging way, in the right moment) that helps me to fix concepts and continue learning.
