About Me
italki teacher since Apr 7, 2020Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching for the past 13 years. I have my Master’s in TEACHING ENGLISH from California, so as you can tell, teaching English is not only my career, but it's my life passion!! I teach both children and adults. My lessons & teaching style
I teach both children and adults. I teach all levels. All of my lessons are Interactive, making sure that students talk and learn as much as possible. Student talking time is most important so that they can practice and gain confidence! You will learn useful everyday English and expressions as well as grammar! My students know that I love teaching Grammar because it's VERY IMPORTANT for conversation and professional Business English!My teaching material
