About Me
italki teacher since Feb 9, 2015Me as a Teacher
I am extremely patient and love to hear my students speak. I firmly believe that the best way to learn is by SPEAKING, and not being afraid to make mistakes. I'll never laugh at your mistakes, and you shouldn't feel bad for making them. I love hearing about my students' countries and cultures, and I use this to give you space to speak and learn. My lessons & teaching style
I use a wide variety of materials to help you improve your speaking, reading and listening skills. I adjust the type of lesson to your goals: if you want to speak better, we focus on discussion topics in addition to grammar review as well as idioms and register. If your listening skills need work, we utilize audio and video together with exercises and dictation to help you understand more. While grammar is important to a point, I use it in small doses to help you better express yourself.My teaching material

She is attentive, thorough and kind. Lessons with miss Lauren are always fun and relaxed. During Chats outside the lessons, i have also noticed similar qualities.
