Sobre mim
Professor da italki desde 10 de Oct de 2024Tópico de interesseJogandoComidaViagemLeituraFilmes
Hi! I’m Tom, a native English speaker from New Jersey, USA, currently working in aviation. I enjoy a wide range of hobbies, from reading and learning languages to simulation gaming and hiking. I’m also passionate about watching movies, graphic arts, preparing hot spicy oil sauces, traveling, and even learning guitar with my friends.
Whether you're into similar interests or something completely different, I’m sure we’ll find plenty to talk about during our conversation lessons. We might even swap hot pepper sauce recipes, book recommendations, or travel tips along the way. :)Minha atuação como professor
As a dedicated teacher, I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's needs. My student-centered approach focuses on individual goals and learning styles, ensuring that every lesson is relevant and impactful.
I believe effective language instruction combines practical application with a supportive atmosphere, where open communication is encouraged, and students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. My experience in aviation education has sharpened my ability to simplify complex concepts, making learning both enjoyable and effective.
I am passionate about fostering a sense of community among my students.Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
In my lessons, I prioritize a student-centered approach that focuses on individual goals and interests. Each session is tailored to meet the specific needs of my students, whether they aim to enhance their conversational skills, improve their business English, or prepare for travel.
I incorporate real-life scenarios, interactive exercises, and a variety of multimedia resources—such as videos, podcasts, and role-playing activities—to create a dynamic learning experience. My lessons are designed to be engaging and relevant, allowing students to apply their language skills in practical situations.
My teaching style is friendly, flexible, and adaptive, as I believe that has a positive outcome.Meu material de ensino
