About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2021Interest topicTravelFoodMusicEnvironment & NatureHistory
Hey there! I'm from the United States. I taught English abroad for around two years and can speak three languages. I have many hobbies, including cooking, gardening, reading, cycling, and traveling. I'm a very cheerful and easy-going person. Every day, I wake up feeling happy and energetic! I'm so excited to teach you English!Me as a Teacher
I'm the ELL (English Language Learners) Program Coordinator at a refugee resettlement agency in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have a CELTA certification, which qualifies me to teach English to all speakers of other languages.
I taught at an after-school English center for children (ages 4-14) in Hanoi, Vietnam, for a year. Later, I designed and taught free classes to kids in the rural Nghệ An province (in the open air!)
I taught English for 6.5 months at an institute in Cusco. I have experience teaching all English learners, from basic to fluent, teenagers to adults. I also taught ESL to Latino migrants in Minneapolis as a volunteer.My lessons & teaching style
I believe students learn most efficiently when they're actively engaged and having fun during the lesson. I make my lessons as interactive as possible. My lessons are very functional, so we'll learn things that you'll use every day. I'm very patient and an effective communicator.
My teaching philosophy is - be confident, have fun, and don't be afraid of mistakes. We learn through our errors, as I've learned countless times while studying foreign languages!

Alek is an amazing teacher. He helped me correct my grammar mistakes and tune my pronunciation. He also suggested new words that sound more natural. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I like your random question at the beginning which made me feel comfortable. I love to have natural daily conversations. And the way we change the topics following our flow of conversation help to recall my vocabulary, even though I could hesitate at that time. Thank you for your lessons and material. I try to do my best.

I feel comfortable to talk and share to Alek. I'm impressed with your organizational skills; and how thoughtful you are to prepare the material and ideas for class. And do not forget to remind me my pronunciation and how to talk naturally.
