Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 31 de Jul de 2014Tópico de interesseFinançasViagemTecnologiaFilmesHistória
I like learning about language and how people develop fluency in several languages, and I like learning about different cultures as well as studying the industries and professions in which my students work. After teaching English to students from Japan, Brazil, Russia, Spain, France, Germany, South Korea etc for many years, I have learned a lot about the histories and cultures of their countries, as well as the economic and business environments. It's been immensely interesting and has helped me to provide customized lessons for my students based on their specifics needs and work/life situations.Minha atuação como professor
A few years ago I was teaching English to mostly kids while working Spain, but then I decided to go travelling around the world teaching adults working professionals using Skype, so that I could make more use of my engineering degree and combine it with English teaching. I was motivated to start teaching English this way because of the amount of knowledge of different cultures and industries/professions that I was able to gain from teaching these lessons. I also like to study language/linguistics etc so that I can use effective methods to help students reach a higher level of fluency with real, solid methods that work.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
The idea is to have really engaging and interesting conversations about general and career topics while I offer feedback and corrections on students' pronunciation, grammar etc. The idea is to get students talking as much as possible for the lesson while I keep the conversation going. Topics would include travel, movies, culture, food, technology etc. I try to suggest as much natural language as possible during the discussion and type corrections for the student. I also like to focus in detail on pronunciation, listening comprehension, grammar, interview preparation and IELTS speaking preparation. I can record the audio for the classes if you wish so you can study your corrections.Meu material de ensino

Experiência profissional
2013 - 2014
English TeacherI taught students ranging in ages from 5–11 years old. The class sizes were typically 8-10 students each. We covered listening, reading, writing and speaking with most of the emphasis on verbal communication. Material was provided by the academy, using an interactive whiteboard and pupils' books. During the year, I also taught many one-to-one classes with teenagers and adults, the emphasis being on conversational fluency.
2014 - 2015
English TeacherI taught students of varying ages: one group of kids (7/8 years old), three groups of adolescents (10/11 years old), two groups of adults (elementary), and a number of adult one-to-one adult classes.
The classes focused on communicating in English with attention to grammar as it came up. We used an interactive whiteboard with English learning software that was a representation of the student book and work book. I supplement this with my own material.
2015 - Atual
Professional English TeacherSince 2015 I have been working as an online English teacher. I have really become focused on finding the best possible methods for achieving fluency in a second language by studying polyglot methods, researching linguistics etc. And I like promote these methods to my students, putting them through the same natural language learning processes which actually result in more fluency. I work with a lot of working professionals, as well as students who just want to improve their general English!

Rance is an amazing teacher! Every class with him is enjoyable, and he has been incredibly helpful in reinforcing my grammar and expanding my vocabulary. I can feel my daily speaking skills improving week by week, I can't thank him enough for that. I highly recommend taking lessons with Rance - you won't be disappointed! :)

During the lesson, Rance corrected my grammatical errors and suggested appropriate words to use, but the whole conversation went like a chat between friends. Thank you, Rance, for a great lesson!
