About Me
italki teacher since Apr 20, 2016Me as a Teacher
When it comes to English I believe that having fun while learning is extremely important to reach higher levels. If you have an amusing time and laugh while learning you keep much more knowledge in your brain than you would if you are half asleep or bored to death. Lessons are meant to be enjoyed, I will take the usual repetitive lesson and turn it into something fun and intriguing filled wi My lessons & teaching style
All classes are designed personally for you according to things that you enjoy to make sure that you obtain the most knowledge possible from each class! I tend to stick to a method that a lot of polyglots use so there will not be much grammar (unless you ask for it). Remember when you were a child? How much grammar did you use to learn a language? Zero! My approach is to make you a natural speaker. :)My teaching material

Donovan is great person and a great teacher! I really like him. He is always calm, patient and helpful, supportive. I think these skills make him to a perfect teacher. I hope he think the same, but he will become my friend in the future. :) We affected some interesting topics with him and he started to explain to me how the present perfect works.
By now, I know that he is the key to reach my goals in English. So thanks again! I can't wait until our next lesson!
