Hello everyone! My name is Abby, and I love languages. I'm originally from California, USA, and I have lived in Japan for 11 years. I spent three of those years teaching English full-time in Japanese elementary and junior high schools, and eight years working in IT, marketing, and translation in a Japanese office.
I've also taught adults in community centers, and tutored university students from Japan and other countries in ESL, and I've been teaching on italki for six years!
*I'm sorry, I only teach adults on iTalki.
Ik als leerkracht
Language should be fun! I think it's important to try speaking, even if you make mistakes. Mistakes are the best way to learn, so I like to encourage students to speak and try to communicate their ideas through conversation. We can also use others tools--video, audio, etc. as you'd like!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Let me know what your language goals are, and what you'd like to work on most. I can help with conversation practice, homework, grammar explanations, etc.
I have experience teaching all levels of English learners--from beginners to high-level learners, and students from age 4 to age 74!

After over 200 lessons with Abby I can tell you that she is a very good teacher and person. I have been taking lessons regularly for about 2 years, and I am always happy to practice speaking with Abby. I learned a lot from her. Not just vocabulary and grammar, but also tons of tricky things such as certain expressions, word order, phrasal verbs, slang, idioms, etc. Thank you, Abby, for making my English much better! ^^

Abby is a highly qualified, intelligent and supportive teacher. The best thing about our lesson is that she picked up on my mistakes in grammar and wording in detail. Instead of cutting me off when I was speaking, it was very thoughtful of her to make written corrections and examples for me. Also, she asked concise yet thought-provoking questions to keep me thinking.
I have realized that I didn't give a good account of myself in some of my answers, but I will do my best to be more productive next time.

Abby is one the best teachers I met at italki! I enjoyed and learned a lot everytime in her informal conversational lesson. She can talk about many different topics, so I can practice many challenging words and expressions. She gives me good advice and correction timely. I look forward to her next lesson soon!
