About Me

italki teacher since Dec 21, 2018

My name is Rollie and I'm from Boston, Massachusetts. I am a TEFL Certified English teacher. I love to travel and learn new languages. I worked as an English teacher in Spain for two years and I have worked with all different age groups. I am also a blogger, podcaster, and author of a book. I worked for three years as a bond trader for a Wall Street bank and I have a degree in Finance from the University of Pennsylvania.

Me as a Teacher

I have a deep passion for languages and teaching. I taught myself Spanish and Portuguese and I studied some Italian in university. In my experience as an English teacher, I love explaining the nuances of the language to people of all different levels. I also can teach you different tips and techniques for learning a new language. Because of my background in finance and Wall Street, I can also teach you business English.

My lessons & teaching style

I believe that conversation is the best way to learn a new language. I am a very outgoing person, so I love talking to new people and teaching my language to them. I can teach you about a wide variety of topics from travel to culture to business. I have been to over 50 countries so I love talking about traveling. I can also recommend books and podcasts to listen to outside of class. I can work with people of all different age groups and levels. I usually recommend an article that we can discuss every class, depending on what topics you are interested in learning about. We can then prepare for the class and discuss the relevant topics, grammar, and new vocabulary.
