About Me
italki teacher since Feb 17, 2020Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I aim to inspire my students. I try to do this by getting to know them and their interests. I believe that building a good, positive relationships allows for maximum learning for both parties. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for my student is important in order for them to be confident and open to learning. My lessons & teaching style
I am a relaxed teacher where my sessions are guided by my students interests and goals. I am gentle and patient but organised and mindful that there must be continuous progress towards meeting our goals. I believe that the best way to learn English is through conversation, so I encourage this aspect to my sessions as much as possible.My teaching material
