About Me
italki teacher since Jul 14, 2020Me as a Teacher
The best way to learn English is to consistently practice speaking and listening. These two areas are so important when wanting to communicate effectively and efficiently! Pronunciation is learned by listening, and by having discussions based on your areas of interest, your pronunciation and fluency will begin to improve!
As a qualified English teacher, let's work together to improve the areas of English that you find challenging. Whether you want more confidence in Business meetings, if you would like to improve your grammar, or if you just want to become more fluent when speaking in general, basing lessons on your interests means that you are more motivated and excited to learn! My lessons & teaching style
Every lesson will be centered around your interests and need for learning, which means that our time together will be engaging and unique. If you want to talk about different topics related to your work, hobbies or interests, then this is what I would include in our plans. Working together, we can build a meaningful relationship and create a safe environment for you to learn to your full potential.
Please let me know if you cannot find a time that suits you on my calendar, as I will do my best to accommodate you!My teaching material
