About Me
italki teacher since Jun 14, 2021InterestsPets & AnimalsTravelTechMedical & HealthcareFood
I am originally from the USA and I have been helping people improve their speaking skills for 20 years. Traveling and speaking more than one language I think really opens our eyes and minds to other parts of the world. I permanently moved to northern Italy 22 years ago not knowing a word of Italian. Immersing myself in the language and local culture has been life changing. I understand your struggles learning a new language. If you're thinking about moving to foreign country to study or to live, please feel free to ask questions!Me as a Teacher
I've been helping folks brush up on their English for over 20 years now, and my specialty is boosting their confidence in speaking. Don't sweat the small stuff—just speak, and we'll work through any mistakes together. I find immense joy in seeing people better their lives, whether it's snagging that work promotion or chatting with locals on their travels.My lessons & teaching style
I concentrate heavily on conversation and listening. I encourage students to speak freely and to make mistakes. Making mistakes is how we learn. Too many times we want to form a perfect sentence in our original language then try to translate into English. Nine times out of ten that is the biggest mistake. Start with simple sentences and as your vocabulary improves build on that.
Per gli italiani le lezioni sono solo in INGLESE. Sì, parlo italiano, ma l'unico modo per migliorare il tuo inglese è parlare in inglese. Non in italiano. Se parliamo in italiano, come pensi di migliorare il tuo inglese?My teaching material
