About Me
italki teacher since Dec 14, 2021InterestsScienceTechFilms & TV Series
My name is John, and I live near the city of Charleston, South Carolina in the southeastern United States. I am a native speaker of the English language and speak with an American accent. Academically, I have a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. My work experience includes everything from working in laboratories for research to teaching college courses as a professor. Among my many interests and hobbies, I enjoy cooking, reading, gardening, working out, going to the cinema, politics, the news, history, making beer and wine, going outside, animals, and languages. I am currently trying to improve my Spanish and have also studied older languages such as Latin amd Ancient Greek.Me as a Teacher
My experience teaching college classes has made me a patient teacher who knows the importance of being open, accessible, and honest. I have taught courses that typically have a reputation for being difficult, and so I have experience working with students one-on-one to help them succeed. I am not a rigid teacher but instead someone who is willing to be flexible and adaptable.My lessons & teaching style
My aim is to help people improve their ability to speak conversationally and more naturally in English. I am interested in learning what a student's personal goals are in their language study and how they hope to use English in the future. I believe any lessons should be tailored towards those goals as much as possible rather than setup in a generalized, rigid structure that may be more appropriate for earlier stages of language learning. Whether you want to have conversation practice with a native speaker, improve your ability to read and comprehend English writing, or even improve your ability to write in English, I would like to help.My teaching material
