As a Linguist, I specialize in conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary and corrections throughout my lessons. I use current events and sociocultural topics throughout my custom curated lessons to push conversations forward. This allows you to think on your feet and for me to help guide you into new vocabulary and more elaborate, critical thinking. I also give precise corrections throughout the lesson that will help refine your pronunciation and your conversation flow.
My strategy aids in enhancing your speaking abilities in different situations, debates and scenarios.
I was an English Teacher in Paris where I taught various levels of students from different countries and backgrounds.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is cool, focused and strategic in order to advance your level of English. I will give precise corrections, polish your pronunciation and increase your vocabulary!
I want my students to be engaged in our lessons so it's important we discuss relevant situations and topics in your daily life/professional life. It will be stimulating!
I focus on conversation, pronunciation, comprehension and vocabulary while using modern and interactive materials and resources to fit your language goals.
We will talk about real world issues, current events and everyday life, debate about social issues, discuss cultural differences etc.
The goal is to push you forward to the next level!My teaching material

Carina is the best teacher I've ever had. She's incredibly energetic, patient, and cheerful, making every class dynamic and enjoyable. Time flies when you're in her class—you hardly notice when it's over! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English.
Her pronunciation classes have been especially helpful for me. Carina as an english and spanish speaker, understands the common mistakes that spanish speakers make, and she uses that knowledge to help you improve your pronunciation effectively.
In her classes, I also learn new vocabulary and concepts. She takes the time to explain any words or ideas you’re unfamiliar with, ensuring that you fully understand and can apply them.

As usual, an excellent lesson with Carinna. I couldn't be more satisfied with this experience.
Carinna is attentive and always listens carefully. She knows exactly how to adapt to my needs and always takes the time to correct my mistakes with patience and kindness.
Thanks to her effective teaching methods and her ability to make each lesson enjoyable, I have seen real progress in my learning over the course of our sessions.
In addition to her professionalism, her smile and positive attitude make every class motivating and engaging.
I highly recommend her.

Carina is a great teacher. She is always so energetic and prepares great materials for the lesson, such as videos, and then we discuss the topic. She also helps me to correct my pronunciation. I highly recommend taking lessons from her. I've had a lot of teachers on Italki, and I can honestly say she is among the best ones I've had so far. Thanks, Carina. Keep up the good work. :)
