About Me
italki teacher since Jul 9, 2020InterestsTravelMusicTech
I am from the United States. I have lived in different regions of the country, for several years overseas, and in New Jersey, near New York City, for more than 25 years.
I enjoy running, reading, listening to music, and watching movies
English is my native language and I speak with an accent common in the northern and western states. I also speak French in my home with my family, and I am currently learning Spanish.
Me as a Teacher
I am a language teacher in a public school with 17 years of experience teaching French and English. In recent years I have also been teaching English in person to adults and have served as a volunteer tutor in public community programs. I enjoy working with language learners at various levels.My lessons & teaching style
Through my experiences as a language teacher and a language student, I believe that everyone can learn languages. I believe that conversation is the most effective and engaging way for you to activate what you’ve learned - it’s also more interesting. I also believe that language learning works better when it’s fun and I think that humor should be at least a part of every lesson.
I can offer you help with your speaking, offer you texts to read and discuss, and assist you with your writing.My teaching material

what I most like about Matthew's conversation classes is that you are the protagonist, and he only interrupts you when necessary. 5 stars always!
