Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 14 Apr 2020
Hello! My name is Thomas and I live in San Diego, California. I have a bachelor's degree in Linguistics and a certificate in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching from the University of Oregon. I have a deep love for learning, teaching and talking about languages so I understand what it is like to learn a different language and how important practice is. I like to travel, watch TV, read sci-fi, cook, learn new languages, and go running. I am excited to meet you and help you reach fluency!
Ik als leerkracht
Did you know English has accents, but we just don't write them? With noun/verb words like project, increase, present, the stress is important. The prÓject, an Íncrease, my prÉsent. But when used as verbs the stress is on the end. I projÉct, he decrÉases, we will presÉnt. As a teacher I can be laid back and just have a conversation or focus on practicing grammar, vocabulary, test prep, or pronunciation. Every student is different and I am here to help you with your English journey. Being engaged and motivated are the most important parts of learning a language and I want to make my students feel comfortable and confident in their English skills.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I can help you with job interviews, pronunciation practice, and anything else you want! I like to use google docs so my students can always have their lesson details. I have various English textbooks for examples and practice exercises. I also sometimes use Egoo.com for practice and conversation. For pronunciation, I teach my General North American accent and I focus on vowels, stress patterns, linking, minimal pairs, and other problem areas. I currently live in Pacific Standard Time and prefer to teach adults and students above the age of 15.
