About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2020Me as a Teacher
I have been an ESL teacher for almost 9 years.
I have taught all levels, ages and most nationalities.
I have taught at 7 schools.
I first taught in Shanghai, China, but I prefer teaching international classes in my city, Toronto, because it is more interesting, dynamic and fun.
I am very patient, intuitive and creative with my students. I will correct you after you've finished your thought, and I will teach you exactly what you need at the moment of speaking. My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, my main priority is to keep my learners engaged and motivated.
How will I do this?
1. Needs Assessment: I will get to know your interests, language goals, strengths, weaknesses and learning style.
2. I will keep the lessons interesting, fun and creative. (pictures, stories, games, & tongue twisters)
3. I will limit my teacher talk time (TTT) to correcting and clarifying the grammar, so you have plenty of opportunity to practice.
4. I will test you when you don't expect it.
5. I will give you tips about how to learn and practice English on your own as I have a lot of resources.
6. I can give you prompts, assignments, questions and study points before class so you can prepare.My teaching material

Loisel was very kind and friendly. She immediately made me at ease and asked questions in order to find the best way to help me improve my English. She corrected me when needed and taught me some very cool new words. I definitely recommend Loisel!
