About Me
italki teacher since Apr 23, 2020
My name is Skyler. I'm from Washington D.C but currently live in Montevideo, Uruguay where I work full time as an English teacher. I am a certified ESL teacher and hold a CELTA certification, one of the most demanding ESL certifications provided through Cambridge University.
On a personal note I have a varied professional background. In D.C I worked as a fire fighter/ Paramedic for 6 years. In terms of interests, I really enjoy traveling, reading and sketching.
Me as a Teacher
I've worked full time as an English teacher for the past 4 years. I have experience with ages 9 to 60. I have a lot of experience with young learners and offer great classes for kids. In addition, I teach structured one on one classes, conversation classes and test preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge exams, GRE and GMAT).
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons adapt depending on students needs. Once this is determined I prepare accordingly and am always open to learner feedback to ensure satisfaction. What is constant is my patience and firsthand experience in learning a second language. This weighs heavily on my approach and disposition toward learners. I strive to put learners at ease while sufficiently challenging them. All the while coaching them on how to learn a second language.

Skyler is a very attentive and compassionate teacher. He gave thorough feedback on my speaking for TOEFL, highlighted the points I was lacking. It was genuinely helpful and I recommend Skyler as your TOEFL tutor :)
