Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 12 Apr 2019Interest topicArtReizenPets & Animals
Shellwyn is an artist, educator, and lifelong learner. Her hobbies include art, music, dance, capoeira, gardening, walking her dog Sofia, and travel. She has visited 29 countries, but feels this is but a drop in the bucket! Shellwyn currently studies Portuguese, and knows the struggles of learning a foreign language. She lives in Brazil, and has over eleven years of experience crafting English lessons that capture student interest and motivation.Ik als leerkracht
Italki 2022 Statistics: Shellwyn earned the title "Masterful Mentor"; her students come from 29 countries; and she taught for 31,920 minutes this year, landing her in the top 1% of all Italki teachers. For Shellwyn, teaching is a vocation--helping others learn and grow is an extremely satisfying profession! She has taught learners of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, in both public and private schools. Shellwyn earned her Doctorate in Education in 2009. Shel began teaching English professionally in 2012 soon after she moved to Brazil, and earned a post-doctorate in Applied Linguistics in 2014. She also partners with universities on various educational projects.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Shellwyn crafts lessons tailored to each individual student. Whether you are a beginner or advanced learner, or whether you need business, academic, or another kind of focus, she has the experience and skills to get the job done right. Shellwyn teaches using a communicative methodology, with imbedded grammar and clear learning objectives for each lesson. She recommends a 30 minute per day study habit, applying the 'slow drip' method, but this is adjustable according to the learner's needs. Shellwyn believes in using clear communication to meet learning goals, and only asks that the student bring a positive attitude to the class.Certificaten

I believe that Professor Shellwyn possesses her own unique teaching philosophy when it comes to English language instruction. Her resourcefulness, patience, and focus on developing students' communicative competence are particularly noteworthy. While I made many mistakes during her classes, she always assisted me in correcting them and provided guidance on various communicative contexts. Moreover, she is self-aware and understands the importance of not dominating the learning process but rather, affording me the opportunity and time to think and speak by myself.
