Over mij

italki leerkracht sinds 21 Jan 2019

Hi, my name is Patrick Pittman and I was born in Southern California. My instructional skills proved as a major success early on in my life as I led my own All-Star Cheerleading Squad to back-to-back national championships before venturing into the entertainment industry as a Casting Director in Hollywood, responsible for bringing out the best in actors. My real strength has always been in sharing my knowledge with everyone I meet. This quality took me to Korea, where I taught English for 10 years & learned how to connect with people of different English levels from all around the world. I live in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, teaching English to people of all ages & walks of life.

Ik als leerkracht

During my 20+ years teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) in the USA, South Korea and Mexico I have taught students of all levels, ages (3 to 93), nationalities, and backgrounds. I really loved this experience and continue to enjoy helping students like you achieve their goals. I am very kind, patient, funny and genuinely interested in your personality, life & goals. The most important thing to me is that you feel absolutely comfortable in my class, which I promise to achieve every time. Whether you are at a beginner, intermediate or advanced level, I can help you in all areas, including Conversation, Grammar, Writing, Pronunciation, Accent Reduction, Business English and many more.

Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven

I can help you with a variety of topics, including: - Interview preparation - Business English (Presentations, Meetings, etc.) - Presentation - Pronunciation - Accent Reduction - Writing & Reading - Overcoming the language barrier & improving your English-confidence - Life skills & cultural awareness - Proofreading Our classes adapt to your individual goals & needs. I will let you speak most of the time about the topics of your choice, whether that be your job, life or hobbies. During our class, I will then provide you with helpful tips to improve your pronunciation, grammar, accent, connotation and ultimately confidence. My classes always adapt to your goals, level, and personality.

I love Patrick's Lessons, he teachs in a passionate and easy-going way that makes the lessons very interesting and fun. I've learned with him about identifying common errors in pronunciation, how to reduce them, and also how to use some American expressions in a sentence. I definitely will take more classes with him. I recommend him to the entire italki community!
