Informazioni su di me

Insegnante di italki dal 24 May 2019

First, what about you?? Worried you’ll never fit in, living and working in the US? Worried you’ll never get a great ESL teaching job because of your accent? Are you an actor or YouTuber who wants to perform better on camera in English? Do you want to sound better when you're speaking English in business or social settings? About me: My name is Bianca. I am from Philadelphia, US, but live in Mexico right now. I love teaching accent reduction- I see people become confident speakers who can reach their goals! Besides linguistics, I'm interested in science and natural history! In my free time, I love cooking, making things, and riding my bike!

Che tipo di insegnante sono

I have been a professional English teacher for over 10 years, both in the class and online. I am certified in TESOL and have a Masters Degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I’ve taught students in all levels and ages from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe (in person and online). I’m used to helping people from many different languages sound more American. I speak English as my first language, and French. I’m learning Spanish and Arabic. So, I know how difficult it is to speak well in another language! Everyone has a beautiful accent, but you can change it!

Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento

What you will learn in my classes? The content depends on YOUR specific needs, but I will teach everyone the skills to help you speak more fluently, such as: -Articulating vowels and consonants -Linking words and phrases -Reducing sounds and words naturally -Rhythm -Intonation -Syllable and Word stress -Pace and Speed What my class is like: -You will speak most of the time! -We can use your specific materials, or mine (websites, shared google docs, screen sharing, etc..., if you don’t know where to start! -I will target your personal mistakes and errors in pronunciation! -I will demonstrate strategies and exercises to practice those problems! -I will train you to self-correct!
