About Me
italki teacher since Sep 27, 2019Me as a Teacher
I understand the value of clear and concise communication in the business world, particularly when conveying complex technical subject matter. As an online educator, I’ve coached a myriad of Asian business professionals including financial and real estate investors, bankers, engineers, salespeople, data analysts, and even doctors!
Students have complimented me for my passion, professionalism, attention to detail, and my ability to guide them patiently and politely. I appreciate it when students can identify improvements and make necessary corrections on their own.
I came to iTalki to expand the reach of my services and to meet new and interesting people… So, tell me... Where are you from? My lessons & teaching style
What are your unique hobbies? Knowing what interests you outside of work (even if you’re not an adrenaline junkie, like me) will allow us to have enjoyable conversations while achieving specific objectives. For example, we might start a session sharing recent travel experiences before pouring over the details of a technical document.
In my sessions, you’ll tend to focus on productive English communication skills (i.e. speaking & writing) as I provide services such as:
Reviewing résumés, CVs, & cover letters
Conducting mock interviews
Offering feedback on presentations
Revising email drafts
& more
My services are not limited to those above so please contact me with your specific needs!Certificates

The feedback that Amelia gives after the class is very helpful and relevant. I always wait for her feedback. Her way of teaching is awesome and I am learning a lot.

I really like Amelia. During the trail class, she was very good at encouraging me to speak and practice. At the same time, she took notes on what I just said and helped me correct the mistakes. Better yet, she would write a report on the trail class. What a responsible teacher! Hope to take more classes with her.

Excellent lesson! Short after my first lesson with Amelia, she sent me some great feedback, which gave me a lot of insights to improve not only my resume but also my speaking in a future job interview. I'm impressed by her ability to evaluate each aspect of my writing and speaking, helping me to make both of them more interesting.

It's always so happy to share my recent life with Amelia. I can learn correct and native expressions in this process. Amelia is such a good listener that I'd like to discuss everything happened on me or in my country. Look forward to our next lesson.
