About Me

italki teacher since Mar 5, 2014

I have been teaching English as a Second Language online for 7 years now and I can honestly say it's the best job I've ever had! I have had many successful students reach both their personal and professional goals and improve their lives in fascinating ways. I am passionate about seeing my students make progress and it's evident in my teaching.

Me as a Teacher

During my bachelor's studies in journalism, I worked as an English teacher's assistant. I led discussion groups based on assigned readings and taught incoming freshmen to write at the collegiate level. After I finished my master's degree in social work, I worked as a drug and alcohol counselor at an in-patient addiction recovery facility. Along with my 10 client case load, I had to teach 3 hour classes on addiction and rehabilitation to groups of 60 recovering adults. I know how to teach. My students like me. My journalism education reinforces my strong oral and written abilities; and my social work skills help me relate to my students and draw out their full potential.

My lessons & teaching style

I'm very open in that I can be very serious or totally relaxed. I have a broad knowledge base. I base my style on my students comfort level. I try to be the teacher they need me to be. My lessons are probably more casual that formal, but that's mostly because my students want it that way. I'm always glad to meet serious students who are prepared to work hard and enjoy rigorous study.
