About Me
italki teacher since Feb 18, 2020Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is highly student-driven. I believe in tailoring the learning process to meet the goals that the student sets -- reading and writing, for example, or speaking, conversation, understanding spoken dialogue or even focusing on the ability to do translation. I believe it's important to focus not only on those goals but everyday use of the English language, to make the student more comfortable in a situation where they will be interacting with other English speakers, likely many of whom speak nothing else. I always encourage my students to work hard but to focus on how English can help meet their future needs for communication and understanding. My lessons & teaching style
I usually start my lessons with any questions that might have come up from the previous lesson and/or homework. We then move on to some new topics, practicing them, working with some exercises and conversations or reading and writing, finishing with ways to extend the lesson, how to find more practice materials for individual study and a preview of what will happen in the next lesson. This is, of course, tailored to the individual student and would depend on their level, age and interest.My teaching material

It was second time to take his lesson. He answered my questions and explained the detail. I haven't met such a teacher who explains a meaning precisely. He has massive knowledge about English and he's familiar with English history. He is kind and patient. Thank you so much.
