About Me
italki teacher since Dec 5, 2016InterestsMedical & HealthcareFoodTravel
EL/ESL/EFL has been my career for about 20 years now and iTalki has been the best teaching experience EVER! I've lived on four continents now and love anything to do with culture, gardens and markets. I always love those things and will most likely love teaching you how to sound as intelligent in English as you do in your native language. See you soon!Me as a Teacher
I know how frustrating language learning can be and do my best to help students overcome their fears and express themselves confidently in English. I know my students are intelligent, thinking people who have the power to change the world and English is typically a necessary tool for advancement and growth. It's important my students feel comfortable asking questions and feel open with me.
Attendance Policy: Students can reschedule (last minute) one lesson per 5 lessons. Of course, it's better for everyone if you know beforehand and reschedule it through the system. No Shows will always be paid for by the student. I will wait 15 minutes for a student and then it's a no show.My lessons & teaching style
Regarding IELTS, I help students with the speaking test by providing additional vocabulary and idioms while also working on more difficult grammar structures. Writing is similar as we edit your essays/letters together to hone these skills.
Basic conversation lessons are fun! You will have notes from every lesson regarding your mistakes and will build on prior knowledge to improve fluency and confidence.
I have conversation lessons about:
Education
Environment
Fake News
Gender Equality
Money and Happiness
Organic Food
Passion
Racism
Relationships
Sleep
Stress
Technology Overuse
Workforce Crisis of 2030
Work-Life Balance
And Many More!My teaching material

She's awesome! Totally recommend her as an IELTS teacher! I mastered my speaking part form 6 to 7-7.5 in ~ 30 lessons, and it could have been quicker if I'd tried harder ;) She gives so many chuncks and vocabulary so you can't help but sound nativelike.

Before I used to think it's impossible to make friends from abroad or hang out with them because of limitation of communication. But now I think I was wrong. Although I still lack the English ability to represent, I feel like I am talking with her because she seems to understand me. That's probably because she has great empathy or she and I have mothers who have similar characteristics. lol. Anyway, thanks for sharing your opinion and it feels great talking with you as always. See you!

Carla is a terrific teacher.
Her lessons are always interesting and unique.
Сarla carefully prepares lessons, structures the material and chooses stunning themes that attract and inspire, make you think.
I feel very comfortable with her, I am relaxed and always get support.
Carla is more than a teacher, she is a friend and my guide to the world of new discoveries.

I haven't enrolled itelts yet and haven't seen the text about it, which means I have no idea of this exam. But unlike just casual talking lessons, it is more likely to focus on the method and strategies about ielts, so I think taking lessons continuously helps me improve speaking in English using academic vocabulary. Thanks again and see you! (after my bro's wedding! lol)

It has been more than 2 years since the last lesson ever!!! Even though I'm not going to take an exam, I know preparing for an exam enhances my skills about that language, so that's why I booked lessons. Also, I missed you and your laughs! Glad to see you again!
