Hi! My name is Kacie and I'm a TEFL certified English teacher from the United States. I moved to Chile almost 4 years ago in order to learn Spanish, and I have loved it here ever since. I was an IT consultant for 8.5 years where I specialized in the Software Development Life Cycle and Agile, but I decided to make a career change. I am now teaching Business English to corporate students in Santiago and I teach on Italki part-time. It's been a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to the next big adventure!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a TEFL certified English teacher, and I have been teaching Business English to corporate students in Santiago. I have taught both individual and group classes at companies like Walmart, Saba, PwC and Albemarle for all levels.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are customized based on the English goals of my students. Since everyone has different motives for learning a new language, I want to ensure that we are focusing on what the student wants to improve upon. Additionally, I want to include resources that the students like so the classes can be fun for them (i.e. audio clips, videos, news articles, etc). I also think complete immersion is one of the best ways to learn a new language, so I try to only speak in English unless my student has an Elementary level of English. I also believe in adding a lot of conversation to the lessons since it is important for the student to practice speaking in a safe and controlled space.
