About Me
italki teacher since Oct 30, 2019Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesBusiness & FinanceWriting
I love discussing all things related to Literature and Linguistics. In addition, I enjoy researching subjects around Immigration, Natural Language Processing, and Cryptocurrency.
I primarily studied Modern American Literature and Research Writing in my Bachelors program, but also started studying Linguistics at the time. I am now studying Linguistics & Cognition in a Masters program from Italy (though I live in the U.S. now).
I've taught English at various schools, but also worked at a few immigration nonprofits, helping recent U.S. migrants and refugees integrate into American society, often with a focus in workforce and education development.Me as a Teacher
CELTA certified (2017)
7+ years of in-person teaching experience: Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL), ranging in levels from Beginner to Advanced; as well as Academic English on both a University and High School level.
5+ years of online teaching experience: Generally in TESL, ranging in levels from Beginner to Advanced; both as an independent freelancer and as an employee with many popular companies.
Bachelors in English; Minors in Linguistics and Creative Writing (2016)
Masters in Linguistics and Cognitive studies (Currently studying)My lessons & teaching style
I'm generally student-focused, getting you to speak and use your English as much as possible. I like to give you the tools to hone your skills and focus on reinforcing those skills with our time together.
I can help with a wide range of skills in Conversation, Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading, and Writing. I'm keen to teaching Academic English, but I have materials for lower levels as well. I'm quite adaptable as long as you share with me your learning goals.
My classes are typically English-only. I know a little Italian and Mandarin and am actively studying those languages. However, my actual communication abilities in those languages are not too proficient unfortunately.My teaching material

KC taught me more academic writing skills. I learnt how to write a perfect essay from his lesson. With his help, I think I will get good marks for my university assignments.
