Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 14. Jun 2021Thema von InteresseSportGesundheitUmwelt & NaturFilmeSchreiben
Hi everyone! I'm from So Cal and moved to Germany in my early 20s where I married and had 7 children! I've biked across the US, traveled in the US, Mexico, Europe and India. My kids and I settled in Scotland with our 6 cats. I love teaching, I read a lot, I love fantasy and sci fi and write short stories and longer fiction across a variety of genres. My kids and I are Tough Mudders and I have a BA in Humanities and an MLitt in Publishing. My musical tastes range from Bessie Smith, The Beatles, Bill Withers and Bowie to Billie Eilish--and that's just a few of the Bs!

I am approachable, flexible and easy going. My students feel at ease learning with me. Their language skills have ranged from none to A1-A2 or higher and have progressed to passing their exams for work, change of country and school GCSEs and Highers. I offer consistent support and kind correction with the goal of continuous language improvement. I teach primarily 1:1 but have also taught small groups in primary schools. I have been teaching online for 2 years with hundreds of classes under my belt. I'm additionally trained in Montessori education, have 350 hours at TEFL: Exam Prep, Bus. English, Young Learners; CIOL, CIEP, PVG from Disclosure Scotland and experience giving talks to groups.Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching style is informal and conversational. I teach all 3 levels in both English and German for children and adults. I integrate pronunciation and functional grammar into every lesson without it becoming pedantic. Focussing on student aims allows me to be creative in material choices and lesson execution. We get to know each other and figure out how the student learns best. We all learn differently. Kind correction in a friendly, supportive atmosphere is important to me. We might use books, films, series, articles, podcasts or music as a springboard for conversation and a basis for enhancing language skills, culture appreciation, comprehension and general improvement through Q&A.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial

Mein Sohn (11) freut sich immer auf den Unterricht mit Morticia. Obwohl er etwas schüchtern ist und noch nicht viel spricht, ist es ein angenehmes Lernen für ihn. Morticia geht auf seine Interessen ein und holt ihn da ab, wo er steht. Vielen Dank!

I really enjoy the lessons with Morticia.
She is a cheerful and very pleasant teacher with whom to converse about the most divers topics.
She is keen on pedagogical techniques and this helps me feel cared and supported on the difficult journey of learning German.
She has very interesting material about culture and customs, which I can relate to and find useful in my daily life.
Lectures with Morticia are a safe place to learn with joy and engagement, I definitely recommend her.
