About Me
italki teacher since Nov 5, 2021InterestsTravelSports & FitnessScience
Hello and welcome,
My day job is working in the construction industry. I have a formal education in civil engineering, and have worked in concrete and cement plants. I have also worked on SAP implementations and other construction-related projects.
I play ultimate frisbee and volleyball, as well as hike and bike. I also enjoy playing a variety of board games.
Language learning has been a hobby of mine for four years. I started learning Spanish in 2017, German in 2019, and Hindi in 2021. I know that learning a new language takes a lot of time and effort, and I am always happy to share my experiences and advice.Me as a Teacher
I have been tutoring languages on and off for about 3 years. I believe strongly that the most important thing when learning a new language is to practice speaking. My goal is always to encourage my students to speak, regardless of their level.My lessons & teaching style
I often ask my students to read a news article related to their line of work. During our sessions we discuss the article. This encourages them to practice their work-related vocabulary.
Other times my students and I simply discuss everyday topics. Whatever we discuss, I want to give them the confidence to speak in public.My teaching material
