Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 22 Feb 2017
I’m a pretty normal guy. Consider myself laid back and relaxed.
I currently live in the US, but usually spend half the year in Japan.
World news, music, study of the universe and PlayStation are among some of my hobbies.
I've had many opportunities to visit several different places in the world including Japan, Hong Kong, Barbados and Costa Rica. It isn't always so easy, but I believe visiting different countries has made me view the world quite differently.
That is definitely a positive thing.
Ik als leerkracht
I think of myself more as an English coach. There is so much more involved in learning English than rules and book knowledge.
It’s important to know English rules, however “everyday natural English” is often very different. A number of factors help us to sound natural.
In the past, I’ve had an opportunity to assist native adult speakers with their English skills. This experience has played a role in how I help current students.
I’ve been a part of iTalki for over 3 years, a comparative platform for over a year and have taught upwards of 4000 lessons. I have seen almost any situation a non native might be in, so can likely help you too.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lesson methodology is quite simple... I do what works for you as an individual.
Everyone is different. Different methods may work better for different people.
Spending sufficient amount of time on some task is important to make sure its understood well.
Slow and steady wins the race. Therefore, it's my goal to provide a comfortable, modernized, relaxing environment for you to improve your English.
My sessions tend to be quite interactive with articles, clips and other useful media. Some people look for a very strict style of teacher. If that is what you like, I am not the person you are looking for. My style is intentionally relaxed. Please be aware before booking.
