Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 14 Jan 2020Interest topicScienceFinanciënMedical & Healthcare
You want to feel more confident and comfortable when you need to use English at work or with new friends. I can help!
I am a TESOL-certified professional teacher with 8 years’ teaching experience. I use my training, my experience, and my background in psychology to help you build confidence while improving your English fluency and accuracy.
I listen deeply and ask the questions that make clear communication easier. Meanwhile, I point out ways to strengthen grammar and pronunciation skills.
I’m a good fit for students who enjoy deep conversations. Passionate, intense, and frequently ridiculous, I love to have fun in sessions, but I'm also fierce about helping students improve.Ik als leerkracht
My students are usually experienced learners seeking strategies to help them reach new heights as English users.
I specialize in supporting:
1. ADVANCED LEARNERS who want to improve pronunciation and automaticity to sound and feel more native-like
2. LEARNERS WHO HAVE PLATEAUED—those struggling to improve despite years of study
3. professionals undertaking SPECIFIC PROJECTS.
Working with me is like having an interpreter friend sitting on your shoulder. I help you say and write things correctly, while also helping you get clear on what you want to do and say.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In fully personalized sessions, we gently nudge the edges of your comfort zone. You will feel challenged, but in a good way.
We assess your strengths, and then choose the most powerful areas of focus for you. Tools might include:
Grammar “Islands”
We identify the grammar areas most likely to give you ease and confidence and focus there first.
Anki Cards
Personalized digital flashcards combined with a spaced repetition algorithm. I create cards for you (~5-10 per session) and help you develop an effective study habit.
Personalized Tasks
We identify and work on your priorities. Popular projects: editing presentations, papers, and stories; email drafting; meeting prep; and goal-setting.Mijn lesmateriaal
