About Me
italki teacher since Jun 11, 2021Interest topicEnvironment & NatureHistoryArtReadingScience
Hello! I am a native English speaker and experienced tutor from America. I love languages and teaching. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Russian Language, Literature and Culture from the University of Michigan. I am also TEFL/TESOL certified. I hope to become a schoolteacher. My interests include learning Russian and Hindi, linguistics, calligraphy, bonsai, gardening, and meditation. Learning a language is an adventure and I would be honored to accompany you on your journey.Me as a Teacher
I can help take your English to the next level. My teaching style is organized, patient, kind, serious and creative. I am very attentive to each of my students. I will design lesson plans to fit your specific needs. I have been teaching English online for four years and I have received my TEFL/TESOL certification. I also spent a year in Vytegra, Russia teaching English to children and translating historical documents from Russian to English for a local museum. I put a lot of time and effort into lesson planning and give plenty of attention to each student. I am currently studying with Teachers of Tomorrow and plan to become a full-time schoolteacher.My lessons & teaching style
I will design lesson plans to fit your specific needs. I have plenty of material and I also create content for specific language targets. We can practice conversation, I can assign you vocabulary every lesson, and we will diagnose and work on your issues with grammar and pronunciation. I like to incorporate pictures, videos and fun homework assignments. I also teach Business English, Accent Reduction/Pronunciation and IELTS/TOEFL Preparation.My teaching material
