Hello hello! Who is Jean? ๐โโ๏ธ Here's a little bit about me:
๐ป I am 30 years old.
๐I was born in Kentucky, but now I live in Florida.
๐ I love to read,
๐ค learn new languages,
๐ถ play with my dog,
๐บ watch old TV shows (like Golden Girls!),
๐ฟ watch movies (I love superheroes ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ and rom-coms ๐),
๐ฎ play games (like MarioKart and Animal Crossing),
โ๏ธ and travel! I have been to the Bahamas ๐ง๐ธ, Taiwan ๐น๐ผ, Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ, England ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ, and Wales ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ.
๐ค I call myself a "language nerd" because I am fascinated by languages. Seriously, I read linguistics textbooks for fun ๐ so that's one of the reasons I'm here on iTalki!
Me as a Teacher
I've taught English online since 2019. I have a TEFL certification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). I also have a Bachelor's degree from the University of Kentucky in English and a Master's of Fine Arts from Seton Hill University. One of these days, I want to start a Master's in Applied Linguistics. (Language nerd, remember?!)
In the past 5 years, Iโve taught almost 6,000 classes to nearly 600 students (both children and adults) from 30 different countries.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are very casual. Do you know the phrase "nit picky"? It describes someone who looks for every mistake, someone who is very critical. I am NOT nit picky. In our classes, I listen for patterns: when you make the same mistake many times, I will tell you about it. But I will not correct every mistake. It's more important to me that we have a conversation like real people. Of course, I will answer any question you have about English! But I will not interrupt you to correct your mistakes.
More questions? Let me know! ๐ฉ
