About Me
italki teacher since Nov 5, 2018Me as a Teacher
He has been teaching English as a foreign language in Central America, Italy and via online platforms.
Sam has worked with children and adults of all ages and varying levels, from A1
(beginner) through to C2 (proficiency level). He has worked in for various institutes from language schools in Central America to Public and Primary schools in Northern Italy. In addition to this, he has experience teaching business professionals and high end clientele including the recently crowned Miss Costa Rica 2017 who he helped to prepare for the Miss Universe competition.
With a background in Outdoor activity leading, his approach to learning is energetic and physical via use of TPR and visual imagery. My lessons & teaching style
Sam's style of teaching is very broad and empathetic. His friendly and approachable style has developed from his early experience as an instructor. This allows the students to feel comfortable in class.
He can adapt his teaching style to be suitable for all types and ages of students.
Classes offer the essential presentation, practice and production stages throughout each class with the student's specific learning objective as the focus through the means of visual aids, presentations and ESL related video material.My teaching material

I booked a trial lesson for my 9-year-old son. Sam seems very good in dealing with children. They talked about daily routine and interests. He corrected patiently, writing down also the corrections. My child already understands well English, but I think that Sam would do very good with beginners too, because he's speak clearly and express himself with gestures. Thank you!
