About Me
italki teacher since Feb 12, 2021
Hello! I am a CELTA qualified native English speaker with a neutral accent. I have over nine years of teaching experience, two of which teaching English as a foreign language. I live in Lisbon, Portugal, so I am also on a language learning journey. I understand the importance of communication and also the struggles we face as learners of new languages.
I am very active and like walking in the outdoors, I do lots of swimming and dancing (in particular Tap dancing). I am also an artist and love all things creative. I like to read, listen to music and watch TV. I am a keen cook (although I'm not the best) and love to try out new cuisines and traditional foods when I travel.
Me as a Teacher
I am an open, friendly and outgoing teacher. I believe that learning a language should be enjoyable and active. I want my students to experience language and so I believe conversation is key.
My experience as a secondary school teacher has made me extremely resourceful, patient and able to adapt quickly to my student's needs. It is my job to work at your pace, in the style you prefer, on the areas you want to focus on. I am very organised and always come to the lessons prepared.
I have experience teaching students, of all levels, conversational and functional English, however I also have some experience teaching business English and guiding students through IELTS and TOEIC.
My lessons & teaching style
Not every student is the same and so neither are my lessons. Each one is tailored around the student's needs, priorities and learning preferences. They can be more structured with a focus on exercises and tasks, whereas others can be more conversational with a focus on fluency. If there is a way in which you would like to learn (for example through reading books or talking about a particular topic) please just drop me a message or we can discuss in our first lesson.
There are 4 main areas when learning a language: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Some will be more important to you than others, I will ensure to take this into account and prioritise those that have more value to you.

It was an amazing lesson! Tasha is a friendly and outgoing person. She can support any topic for talking. One of the best teachers I've ever met.

Thank you very much, Tasha! I really enjoyed talking with you. You're very cheerful and nice!
That was my first experience with a native speaker. And it's still difficult for me to speak: I speak and understand slowly. But with Tasha, I feel much more confident. I just had my third lesson with her and I can see my progress! Thanks again!
