About Me
italki teacher since Apr 13, 2020
I'm an American from Seattle, Washington currently living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love reading, learning about new cultures, trying news food, learning new languages, and traveling. I'm very outgoing and open-minded. I also love spending time outdoors and in nature.
I also speak Portuguese and a decent amount of Spanish.
Me as a Teacher
Teaching is my passion, and it's the path that I've decided to take in my life. I've been teaching for almost 5 years, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Introducing people to my language and culture is extremely rewarding for me. I've given classes in some courses in the United States, many big courses here in Rio, and also in many multinational companies. My current focus is teaching privately and online. I've taught all ages from 5 years old to over 80 years old. I've also taught all levels of English from beginner to advanced.
My lessons & teaching style
As I've taught in many different courses, I've been trained in using various methodologies in my classes. I choose which methodology and material I use based on the student's learning style as well as their level. I'm extremely laid back and flexible. I'm very patient, and I understand how difficult the language learning process can be.
I utilize various resources such as PDF's, exercises, articles, music, videos, etc. I teach more structured grammar based classes as well as conversation classes. I am also able to focus on the student individual needs whether that be business, law, medicine, travel, proficiency exams, etc. I have a neutral American accent.

Today was the first class with Kaleb. I was impressed with his passion and efforts. He analyzed my level of English sharply and gave me proper advice. It was a great time, and I want to recommend his class.
Thank you again, Kaleb. See you soon : )

During the first class, Kaleb recommended the way to learn English with articles. I like to read articles in English by myself, but sometimes I feel difficulty when I read them alone. There are some new words and structure which is not easy to comprehend. So, learning English with articles is what I like and what I need. Today's topic was interesting, and it was never excruciating to talk about our galaxy. Thank you for your efforts, Kaleb. See you at the next class.

It was a very good class for self presentation and teacher introduction. Besides of that the discussion about possible teaching and learning methods was what I was really expected.
