About Me
italki teacher since Jan 21, 2019Me as a Teacher
I have always had a passion for languages and teaching due to my teenage experiences and travels later in life. I have a few years of experience teaching Spanish at a University level, which is where I learned about all the opportunities that online teaching can give to students. I currently work in Spain as an English teacher in an elementary school, so I have a wide range of teaching experiences. Finally, my master's program emphasized the importance of social justice within pedagogy, so I incorporate relevant cultural themes in my lessons. My lessons & teaching style
What's most notable about my teaching style is its flexibility. I want to know why my sudents want to learn and what their interests are so that I can incorporate their motivations into my lessons. I find this to be the most effective way to get students actively participating and to maintain their motivation. Whether your goal is to pass an exam, to communicate better in the workplace, to travel, or simply to communicate with other speakers, I can adapt my lessons to best suit your needs.My teaching material

This was lesson 50 with Kevin. I appreciate the high level of preparation he brings to each lesson and also his creativity. He is infinitely patient with my mistakes and works with me to fix them in a way I can understand and (hopefully!) correct for the future. The lesson structure is ideal for adult learning, and the mini culture discussions have definitely made me want to travel to Spain. I also appreciate his knowledge of pronunciation differences in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world. He is definitely not just teaching me "Spain Spanish." I highly recommend him for anyone who needs a structured, knowledgable teacher with patience and a great sense of humor.
