About Me
italki teacher since Oct 20, 2021Interest topicScienceTravelMusic
Hello, I am Isra. I am a traveler with an English Language and Literature degree as well as Teaching English Diploma. I am 38 years old with 15 years of experience in teaching. I love my job as it gives me the opportunity to work wherever I have access to internet. I am especially interested in different cultures, music (especially Pink Floyd, Metallica, Nirvana), motorcycles, tattoos, literature, books and UFOs. :) I have a positive attitude towards life :)Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I believe the best way to improve a language is through conversation. My teaching method is "student centered". I believe the student should do most of the talking and I should correct him/her whenever necessary. When it comes to grammar, I believe teaching the grammar structure backing up with tests and exercises is the best way to fully understand it.My lessons & teaching style
I would describe my teaching style as "results driven". As I usually work with students one on one, I always try to clearly define their goals. I believe the important thing is not what I want to achieve, but what the students want to achieve. Considering their current level of language skills and their personality type, I come up with a clear plan for our sessions, including some milestones and tests, in order to evaluate our progress. Each student is different so I prefer an individual approach to teaching. Sometimes by "coaching" them and asking them the right questions, they should find the right answers.My teaching material

Dephney is a great teacher! She is fun and encouraged me keep talking even though I struggled finding the right words. She also helped me improve my resume. Strongly recommended!

I have been practicing English with Isra for some time and she has helped me a lot. My confidence in speaking has become much better. Now I want to improve my grammar skills and Isra will organize lessons according to my needs. Thank you very much.

I just finished my new lesson with Isra. It was very exciting. Isra suggested to me a very useful exercise with pictures, that helped me to speak more freely and use more words in my speech.
