About Me

italki teacher since Aug 9, 2017

My many adventurous years have given me experiences as a mother, an insurance administrative assistant, a house cleaner, a traveler, an occupational therapist, a school teacher, a house builder and maintainer, a woodworker, and probably a few other roles I can't recall at this time. I am now a participant in a theater group, an Airbnb manager, an on-line English teacher and, again, a house builder, My passions are archeology and architectural design.

Me as a Teacher

I got my TEFL certificate in New Zealand where I taught in an English school for several years. When I moved to Thailand it took me a couple of years to find the right school in which I enjoyed 7 years of volunteer work. I finally quit because I felt the evening commute was getting too dangerous. Each student has his/her own learning style just as each teacher has their own methods. I encourage my students to find the right teacher for their style, who makes them comfortable, who pushes them enough, but not too much. As a teacher I feel that I am a guide while the student is her/his own teacher. In learning other languages and cultures I feel we are promoting world peace

My lessons & teaching style

The reason I enjoy teaching on-line is the people I meet. I would earn more money if I worked for a platform that had formula classes given to large groups of children. I prefer the independence that Italki gives to engage people in conversational English, getting to know them and their culture at the same time and having the joy of hearing/seeing their improvements. My students work hard - being interrupted in the middle of a sentence in order to say it more correctly and having them repeat and repeat until their mouths feel comfortable with the words. I introduce new vocabulary, pushing the students to try out the words and integrating it into their speech.
