About Me
italki teacher since Dec 3, 2014Me as a Teacher
I learned Spanish when living in my hometown in order to better communicate with people who had moved into my area, and I am continuing to learn Japanese because I think it is a fun language which allows me to communicate better with people where I live now.
experience has taught me that forming meaningful relationships with people is what drives communication, so that is what I promote as a teacher. I feel that The more you expose yourself two people who care about you the more you will improve in your language skills. That has been the case with me, so I try to provide a supportive learning environment for all my students.

Hablamos en clase. :-) My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons I focus heavily on student goals and frequently modify the lesson plan to fit the needs of each student. The classes are conversation–based with a focus on improving speed, accuracy and clarity.
I provide help to improve pronunciation, increase confidence and better retain new information using conversation practice, gestures, music and other methods based in solid neuroscience.My teaching material

Education
2017 - 2019
Bachelor’s - BA of EducationTo improve as a teacher I worked on and completed a Bachelor's in Education from 2017 to 2019. In my studies with USAT I enhanced my knowledge of human learning, memory function and improvement, neuroscience, linguistics and the art of teaching. My instructors all had an interesting and entertaining way of teaching which I very much enjoyed. I endeavor to pass along that same value to each of my language students through fun and engaging classes.

オンラインの英会話授業で、これほどあっという間に時間が経つクラスは初めてでした。日本に住んでいるからこそ、日本人にありがちなミスや心持ちについても、瞬時にアドバイスをいただくことができ、今回が初めての受講でしたが、是非今後もいろいろと教わりたいと思っております！どの講師を選択ししようか迷っている場合、是非一度お話してみると良いかと思います！
そして、とにかく、楽しかったです！！！

Кай необычный учитель, он внимательно выслушал меня, что я хочу, дал мне фидбек, на мой уровень английского, но самое главное, что он дал методику, как быть уверенным и спокойным в разговоре. Я доволен своим первым уроком. Урок понравился. Прийду к нему ещё.
