About Me
italki teacher since Oct 25, 2018
Hi there! My name is Jessie and I am an Aussie (Australian) currently living in Colombia! I am a marketing professional with over 10 years' experience in brand and marketing strategy and communications. I am well versed in Business English. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business with my Honours in Marketing.
I love travelling the world and learning about different cultures. I love to help people and I have been a volunteer in some capacity for most of my adult life. I am also passionate about health and wellness and I am a self-confessed 'foodie' - meaning I love to eat food and cook!
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English here in Colombia for over two years. I now mainly work with adults to help grow their confidence in speaking English for work purposes. Regardless of your goals, I can help you achieve them. I will work flexibly with you and design lessons based on your needs. I am very patient and friendly with a neutral accent. I will provide you with the feedback you need to realise your errors so you can begin to fix them. I have a comprehensive TEFL qualification and a Bachelor's Degree in Business with my Honours in Marketing.
In Australia, I volunteered for years in a range of programs with refugees to help develop their English language skills and their business acumen.
My lessons & teaching style
I deliver a range of lessons tailored to the needs of my students. This includes: general conversation classes, interview preparation and resume review, business English, grammar, reading and writing, including for a specific purpose. I have prepared a range of materials to use throughout the class. I use the text-box function in Skype to provide passive corrections and at the end of class I will provide you with a summary of mistakes with corrections and new vocabulary and/or grammar. It's important that my students are talking in class, so my main emphasis will be on you speaking!

Jessie gave me some very authentic opinion and taught me the importance of understanding the purpose and the audience when answering a question. We went through a question again and we both could see the improvement I made in the second attempt, and this really brought me a sense of achievement:)
