Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 8 Apr 2019
IMPORTANT - Due to other demands on my time, my teaching hours here on Italki are now very limited. I'm sorry I can't be more accommodating. Good luck with your language learning!
I live in the United States near New York City. I speak Spanish as a second language, while English is my native language. My passions are languages, learning, and technology. I also love outdoor activities like alpine skiing and hiking, as well as intellectual and artistic pursuits, such as literature and photography.
Ik als leerkracht
I joined Italki in 2013 when I began using the platform to improve my Spanish. Now fluent in Spanish, I work with English students, helping them to achieve their learning goals. My approach to teaching is passionate, empathetic, and professional. I strive to be the teacher each of my students needs to be successful. I want each student to feel respected and valued, and I want the learning experience to be fun and effective.

It was a great lesson. I am glad to be back to lessons with Ed after a week of a break. I appreciate lessons with Ed because we always have something to speak about. He is very supportive not only in English but also in general daily things in my life. As usual we spoke about recent events in my life. Ed helps me to improve my storytelling skills. During our lessons he always makes notes in chat rephrasing my speech in more natural way. So I have a material to be back to teach a couple of naturally sounding phrases and analyse my mistakes also. The teacher always keep excellent balance between making me speak fluently and finding some places for improvement in my English. I think that it is a high level class for a teacher.

Ed is an awesome teacher on top of being a wonderful person. It's been a great ride as we got to know each other more throughout the many lessons we've had together ー he proved to be very knowledgeable about English and incredibly passionate about teaching it to us foreigners. He always pays close attention to what the student has to say and corrects the mistakes ー none will slip through his attentive examination, under his watchful eye, all while being extremely supportive and encouraging the student to speak and practice through trial and error. I'm very grateful for the amazing conversations we've had on a wide variety of topics, as well as for all the corrections, tips and suggestions he's provided me with. Thank you also for playing along with all the exercises and activities I wanted to try with you ー they always turned out helpful, largely thanks to you. You helped me tremendously. I'm grateful to have met you and I thank you for being part of my English learning journey.
