About Me
italki teacher since Jan 29, 2021Interest topicMedical & HealthcareBusiness & FinanceTravel
I am a friendly, easy-going person who loves teaching English. My favorite part of teaching is getting to know my students. For me, each student is incredibly interesting and unique.
In my conversation classes, you will feel like you are talking with a close friend. We will discuss topics that are important to you, but you will do most of the talking. I will guide the conversation by asking you questions and listening patiently to your response. I will NEVER rush you.
For my intermediate students, I also teach a class on phrasal verbs. I love teaching phrasal verbs because they are fun to teach and because they make language learners sound like native speakers.Me as a Teacher
My formal education is in English. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Secondary Education and a Master's degree in English with an emphasis on English as a Second Language (TESL). However, much of what I have learned about teaching English comes from being a language learner myself.
I believe the best way to learn English is through conversation. At the end of each conversation class, I will give you grammar corrections and suggestions for improving your English.My lessons & teaching style
I offer two types of classes: CONVERSATION CLASSES and PHRASAL VERB CLASSES
CONVERSATION CLASSES: Not all conversation classes are equal. In some classes, the teacher talks more than the student does. In my class, it is the other way around. I will encourage you to do the majority of the speaking by asking you questions and having you relate stories to me.
PHRASAL VERB CLASSES: This is a course that consist of five classes. You will learn ten phrasal verbs in each class. At the end of the course, you will be able to easily use fifty common phrasal verbs in conversation.My teaching material

A very sincere, genuine and sweet teacher. I attended the classes with great pleasure. I gained a friend because he is more than a teacher for me. It is a pleasure and an honor for me to know him. I am sure we will always see each other. I love him very much and I am glad I met him.
