About Me
italki teacher since Mar 27, 2020Me as a Teacher
Funny enough, when I was a kid I was repeating over and over that I’ d prefer to clean the streets than be a teacher since I was the teacher’s daughter. Never say never! It has started with some art and education projects that I was doing for underprivileged kids and teens in my neighborhood. Then I found a bunch of people with whom I have created a few beautiful projects that mainly you could summarize with a punch line: “Learning, exchanging, co-creating is FUN”. In addition, I have experience as an academic teacher and four years of experience teaching English all around Asia to all age groups and levels. And yes, I have TOEFL :) My lessons & teaching style
When teaching English I try to use my psychological background to motivate students and build up their confidence and determination to learn and speak in a foreign language. My teaching focus is mainly on speaking, learning new vocabulary and creating special exercises that make learning a language a bit more fun. In my humble opinion, you learn only when you are truly interested in something or when you need a certain skill to achieve your goals. Speaking for myself, English has opened many doors, that otherwise would remain closed.
and let me travel the world. Some people may disagree, but you will never learn the language by heart when it's only to pass the exams or obtain certificates.My teaching material
