About Me
italki teacher since Jul 1, 2020InterestsPets & AnimalsTravelFoodMusicArt
I'm a lover of all things language and culture. I enjoy drawing mandalas, travelling, and trying new cuisines. I have been tutoring French and English for over 3 years and I qualified as a teacher two years ago after completing my PGCE. I have been studying Linguistics for over 10 years and I have been learning different languages from the day I can remember.Me as a Teacher
I am a pragmatic and adaptable teacher. I like to get to know my students and learn about their individual learning styles and interests, so that my lessons can be more relevant to them.My lessons & teaching style
I believe that having a positive experience helps students to learn faster, so I like to incorporate as much fun as possible into my lessons. I enjoy using authentic materials and including lots of cultural information in my lessons so that you are not only learning the language but also about the people.My teaching material

It was a very productive conversation. In just half an hour we've managed to cover one of the speaking exercises from the CPE and discuss the ways I could improve my English further like listening to a specific podcasts or reading newspapers.

I loved my first two lessons. They were very much centred on my skill level and my needs and gave me a lot of opportunities to practice listening comprehension and talking. Issaiyanee prepared materials to give me the basic vocabulary and some topics to talk about, which was very helpful. Highly recommend!
