À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 3 Nov 2024Sujets d'intérêtMusiqueJeuxLectureVoyagesNourriture
Hello! My name is Benji; I'm an American teacher of English and Spanish who's been hopping around the world for the past few years. I've studied in Chile, met and spoken German with family in Germany, and taught English across three continents as a tutor, teaching assistant, and teacher. In my free time, I love tabletop role-playing games, video games, fantasy books, and nice cafés (bonus points if there's matcha!) I'm also queer, so in my classes you can come as you are! ✨Moi en tant que professeur
My teaching style is informal - I like to explain fun language topics, but I'm not trying to be a fancy professor. I think of myself as a helpful resource, not the king of a classroom. I'm a silly guy who loves to talk about complex grammar in everyday language. Y'know, like how normal people actually talk! I also love a good lesson on music - it's the most fun way to learn!Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My teaching focuses on three areas: developing and improving pronunciation, building an understanding of grammar, and the incorporation of media and literature to develop language skills. I can create structured lessons on specific grammar topics or vocabulary for specific situations, or help you build language skills from square one. If you'd prefer to just talk and get some feedback, I provide notes on where you can improve your pronunciation and grammar, as well as new or useful vocabulary. I'm happy to follow your lead on what you'd like to work on! :)Mes ressources d'enseignement
