Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 27 Mar 2018
Hi, my name is Patricia and I’m from São Paulo in Brazil. In no particular order, I love cats (they always come first), teaching, travel, photography, and cooking. One of my dreams, since I was a child, was to live overseas for a while. In 2007 I decided to take a break from my job as a travel consultant and I went to New Zealand. My plan was to do an English course and travel around but I liked it so much I ended up staying for 7 years.
Ik als leerkracht
I became a teacher when I came back to Brazil in 2014. At the same time I started teaching, I took my TESOL course and I’ve been teaching privately ever since. I really appreciate students who are independent and aren't afraid to step out of their comfort zone and learn with their own mistakes. And forget what you've heard about learning a second language being difficult as an adult. If you maintain consistency in your studies, you will reach fluency. I started speaking English when I was 30 and I became proficient not long after. If I was able to achieve this as an adult, you can as well.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In my lessons, I use a mix of CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) approach and my personal experience as a language learner. The materials I bring to class contain authentic language and I personalize them according to the student’s needs. I cover general, travel and business English.

I enjoyed our trial lesson! Patricia asked good questions to get an idea of what my needs are with learning. She also suggested some good resources for me to practice my listening skills.
