About Me

italki teacher since Jan 28, 2021

My name is Sayde and I grew up in the desert of the Western United States. As a result of my own language studies, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for how good it feels to be able to express oneself in a new language. I want to help you find your own feelings of joy and confidence, so let’s study English together! I have a degree in Art History from a research university where I developed an enthusiastic and disciplined writing practice. I wanted a change of pace when I graduated and moved to Bâle, Switzerland to do a year of study in a painting school. In my free time I enjoy exploring the forest, swimming in the Rhine, and reading and painting.

Me as a Teacher

My key quality as a teacher is responsiveness. My goal is to create a space in which you can let your own curiosity lead the learning process. I consider myself a facilitator who can provide resources, feedback, explicit instruction or support in a way that responds appropriately to your level. I think it is very important to feel safe enough in lessons to do something incorrectly. I encourage mistakes and risk taking!

My lessons & teaching style

My approach as a teacher is collaborative, open and conversational. The structure of the lessons depends on the students level and objectives. I adapt the form to meet the students' needs. I do, however, very much enjoy workshopping specific skill sets such as creative and academic writing; comprehension and analysis of short texts or works of literature; and refining pronunciation.
