About Me
italki teacher since Aug 8, 2017Interest topicArtPets & AnimalsWritingScienceSports & Fitness
I am a multifaceted individual, I currently hold a brown belt in BJJ and am a dedicated enthusiast of both basketball and powerlifting. My creative side shines through in my poetry and comedy, which I craft in both Norwegian and English. An ardent lover of cats; I cherish every moment with my feline companion, Nikos—a charming Aegean cat who has been my inseparable companion since I adopted him from the streets of Athens.
My passions extend into the skies as a skilled drone pilot and a devoted nature enthusiast. I also have a deep appreciation for art, philosophy, and ancient cultures, which continuously inspire and enrich my life.Me as a Teacher
Objectively summarizing oneself can be a daunting task, so I often leave it to my students to sketch their own impressions. Looking back at my own schooling, the memory of stern, results-focused teachers still looms large—those whose approach we might recall less than fondly. In contrast, it was the educators who wove humor, patience, and empathy into their teaching who truly made a lasting impact. I warmly regard these individuals with the term "HYGGELIG." While dictionaries may render this Norwegian word as "pleasant" or "cozy," it embodies a deeper, almost ineffable sense of warmth and contentment, a concept that goes beyond the constraints of language.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is both dynamic and effective. If you're inclined towards casual, spontaneous discussions on various subjects or prefer more structured, objective-driven sessions with a focus on vocabulary development, grammar skills, or exam preparation, I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs.
A constant in all my lessons is the priority I place on nurturing a positive learning atmosphere. I'm a strong advocate for maintaining a good mood, injecting humor, and ensuring a relaxed environment, all of which I believe are crucial for successful learning. This strategy not only makes our sessions more enjoyable but also creates an optimal setting for language learning.My teaching material
