About
I enjoy teaching students english. I help students speak fluent english. I help them master their language by minimizing their accent if they are looking to speak with an American accent. I provide a lot of tools neccessary to help students speak. I have been doing this for two years and have been teaching children and adults across the globe on Dadaabc and Italki. I currently hold a 120 hour tesol and is currently in college myself for Anthropology.
The classes are set up based on your level of speaking. So if there is something that's not your strong suit, we will solely focus on whatever that is to help strengthen you. I only provide homework assignments if I feel that you need the extra practice. This is a fun learning environment, and I use creativity to help with your speaking. For example, if we were to look at a piece of art, I would have you use your critical thinking to see how well you can express yourself. We also look at modern shows to see if you fully understand what the Americans are saying.
