About Me
italki teacher since Mar 8, 2017Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching in a business setting for more than 25 years. For the past 5 years, I have been teaching phonics - the proper "sound" of English - to adults and children for whom English is a second language. I use Phonics International's Systematic Synthetic Phonics program to methodically teach every sound spoken in the English language, helping you understand spoken English more easily as well as speak using English more fluently. My lessons & teaching style
We'll follow a structured approach that has proven to help students understand English more effectively and easily as well as be better understood. You'll learn words that are used in everyday speech as well as how to pronounce things so that you sound more confident and authoritative in your communication.My teaching material
