个人简介
2021年12月1日起成为italki教师兴趣话题运动健身饮食旅行
My name is Gina (25). I am a South African (with a neutral accent), who has been teaching adults and children for the past 5 years. I grew up in the restaurant industry with a family that is culturally mixed, my father having Italian-Chilean roots and my mother having Irish-South African roots, so it's made me culturally rich and it has taught me good people skills. Kindness and consideration have helped me to be an enthusiastic and effective teacher. I love the diversity in all things, that's why traveling, being outdoors and people are so close to my heart. I am an adventure junkie so I'm always up for a good time, whether it's riding motorbikes, jumping off cliffs, or going on safaris.教学经验
As a teacher, I find great satisfaction in seeing my students achieve their goals. After 5 years of experience as a TEFL teacher, I have found effective ways to help my students become more fluent. I make sure that my classes are fun and interesting. I do this by personalizing my classes: getting to know my students' likes and dislikes, interests, and weaknesses in their language. I encourage open communication because it creates a good teaching environment. I am a patient and kind teacher, and I like to move at my students' pace to benefit them fully. I like to use gestures, TRP, images, or props in my lessons to make the lesson more enjoyable and comfortable for my students.我提供的课程和我的教学风格
My lessons are planned according to my student's needs and interests. I have course material and textbooks that I use to plan an effective lesson. I like to be expressive and use images in class to engage my students and make sure that they have a clear understanding of what I am teaching them. The teaching method is very interactive, I use role-play, discussions, textbook activities, self-correction, educational games, etc...
I offer courses in: General English, Conversational English, IELTS preparation, Business English, English for Kids
Adults Levels: Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper-Intermediate, Advanced and Proficient.

工作经验
2005 - 2013

This has added to my professionalism as a teacher and it has helped me to be creative in my problem-solving with my students. When I have a student that has difficulty understanding or communicating in class, my experience with problem-solving helps me to help my student overcome such difficulties.

Gina is a very nice and patient teacher. She gave me good advices. I found it very good, that she made notices of my mistakes and let me correct them first after she corrected them. She is a real professional teacher. I hope to see her soon again.
Thank you, Gina.
