About Me
italki teacher since Oct 14, 2020Me as a Teacher
Languages and teaching have always played a major role in my life. My first teaching experiences go back to when I was 12 years old, I helped friends with French. At the age of 15, it was drawings for art classes, and later on English and German. As a linguist at the university, the seminars were a bit more theoretical, but not only. Seminars such as Old English or The Development of Languages were actually quite practical in nature. Since I was also responsible for the training of future teachers, I did a lot of research in the field of second language acquisition, which influenced my own teaching style a lot. My lessons & teaching style
The research I did in the area of language learning, basically to make my students better future teachers, led me to question a lot of methods out there. In my lessons, I therefore try to avoid course books. Language learning is a process where something has to proceed from conscious knowledge to a kind of subconscious form. This will not happen when you are bored. But it will happen when you are motivated, when the things we do make sense for you. This is why my lessons will be tailored to your needs. We will use material you like and topics you are interested in. After all, learning should be fun :)My teaching material
