Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 9 Aug 2018
Hey guys! My name is Jay and I've been traveling for over 2 years now. I'm a very curious person with many interests and because of this insatiable curiosity, I have worked many different jobs including building race cars, working in a music studio, teaching snowboarding/skateboarding and construction. My main hobbies are making music, rock climbing, surfing/snowboarding/skateboarding, and hiking. Some things I enjoy learning about are health/nutrition, meditation/minimalism, design, and languages. I've acquired some Spanish while traveling through Central America and now I'm starting Russian...
Ik als leerkracht
I am a TEFL Certified English Teacher with experience teaching both online and in person. Since I can remember teaching has been a passion of mine regardless of the subject. I am a very easy going guy and make a great effort to ensure my students have fun, feel relaxed and feel comfortable. I view myself as more of a coach because I encourage students to take control of their learning experience by learning about how languages are acquired and then deciding together on a strategy that best fits their needs & interests. I talk as normal as I can with each student so they can better pick up natural patterns of speech and sayings. I adjust my speed and complexity as needed.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
The optimal way languages are learned is through natural communication, so I use the Natural Approach and TPRS methods. This helps students ‘acquire’ the language rather than ‘learn’ it. This means I don't use boring textbooks or heavy grammar lessons. Some grammar structures are easier to learn than others so I follow the natural order when introducing them. To create an immersive English experience I keep all communication in English and deliver meaningful and understandable messages and imagery if needed. I encourage all of my students to record each lesson to track progress and provide a review for common mistakes and new material. You're paying for a lesson, why not make a copy of it?

Jay is a great teacher! He is cheerful and supportive. He makes you feel very comfortable during class and is able to point out different ways of saying things in a more accurate and natural way. I definitely recommend his classes!

To me, great teachers should have all these capabilities in order to provide a valuable service:
1. listening to the student
2. finding out their needs
3. delivering a high quality service
I believe Jay has all of them. I love working with him in that I am improving really fast.
Thanks a lot for your effort and your patience, Jay.
