About Me
italki teacher since Apr 8, 2020Interest topicWritingMusicHistoryFilms & TV SeriesReading
I'm an English teacher from Niagara Falls, Canada. I hold a bachelor's degree in music, a masters degree in psychology, and I am a certified ESL teacher. I currently live in Toronto, Canada. My hobbies include music, travel and literature.
I can understand a little French because in Canada we have to learn French in Elementary school. Also, I learned Mandarin to an intermediate level because I lived and worked in China for several years.
I am a very patient and calm teacher. I won't judge you or pressure you if you make a mistake. I purposefully speak slowly and clearly in order to help my students to understand.
Learning a language is tough, but I am here to help!Me as a Teacher
I taught music for two years in Canada, then I moved to China to teach English. I worked at a high school, training school and kindergarten. During coivd-19, I moved to Indonesia and started working online as an independent English teacher. Most recently, I have returned to Canada and started working as a music teacher in an elementary school.
As you can see, I have had a diverse range of teaching experiences which helps me to reach a wide variety of students. Are you my next student? I hope so!My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is very student-centered. I want to create a space where you can practice English as practically as possible. I also use a variety of different resources. As well as using books and worksheets, I include music and videos into my lessons. The teaching style differs slightly depending on which course you choose. Please look at my list of courses to select what is most suitable for you.My teaching material
