About Me
italki teacher since Apr 28, 2020Interest topicTravelFoodBusiness & Finance
I am both a lawyer and a professional teacher that has obtained a TEFL certificate . I have taught both online and in mainland China where I was exposed to different student personalities and needs . I have more than 4 years experience in teaching students ranging from the ages of 2-60 years old . I believe my charisma and animated personality is one of the reasons why students are drawn to me . My hobbies include swimming , dancing ,singing and playing the piano. I have also , on many occasions , been told that my wide smile is not only contagious but it makes those around me relax .Me as a Teacher
I believe that I am a very friendly teacher with an amazing personality . My ability to adjust and improvise in any situation is the reason why I have gained popularity among my students over the years . My motto is :
'' Learning is Fun ''. This means that , once the students understand that you are on their team , not only will they open up to you but they will see you as someone that they can trust with their mistakes and growth which ultimately creates a fun environment. Therefore , it is crucial to build a relationship that is based on understanding and trust with your students as this will drive them to want to learn even more .My lessons & teaching style
