About Me
italki teacher since Oct 6, 2024InterestsTravelSports & FitnessTechBusiness & FinanceReading
Hello! I'm from Colorado, in the United States, but for the last 12 years I've been traveling the world! I've been to nearly 50 countries, maybe even yours! I've also lived and worked in New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Vietnam and many others.
I studied Psychology at University, which means I'm a professional listener. I'm also a former competitive climber. I love the outdoors and learning about different cultures. My teaching style is patient and relaxed. I speak in a clear North American accent. I can help with everything from grammar to test preparation to interviewing!
If you're in the tech industry, I can speak your language. I've helped hundreds of programmers level up their careers.Me as a Teacher
** I teach ADULTS ONLY, 16+ **
I aim to foster confidence and a genuine love for language learning in every student.
I speak with a neutral North American accent, perfect for improving your listening skills. My main goal as a teacher is to help you identify areas of improvement and give you a clear direction on how to improve. My feedback is constructive, focusing on areas for improvement while celebrating progress. I encourage questions. Most of all, I'm very patient and genuinely enjoy seeing my students achieve their goals.My lessons & teaching style
** I teach ADULTS ONLY, 16+ **
My lessons focus on enhancing language skills through interactive, student-centered activities. Each session is tailored to your needs. I specialize in job interviews for the tech industry as well as preparation for the most common English exams needed for university acceptance and visas. I also love teaching grammar!
I prioritize conversation and real-life application, creating a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable practicing. My teaching style balances structured exercises with creative tasks like role-playing or storytelling to make learning engaging. I have hundreds of hours of proven lesson material that make lessons engaging and fun.My teaching material

2) To become familiar with the key features in the public version of the Writing and Speaking Band Descriptors
3) To practice rating written and spoken extracts using the descriptors as a guide
4) To understand why candidates don’t achieve their desired band score because of negative features in their written and spoken performance
