Introduction:
Helping students improve their listening and speaking skills.
Welcome to my profile page!
As a teacher with over a decade of experience, I have been on an enjoyable journey. My teaching career began in 2006, where I assisted students face to face in a more traditional teacher-student setting. However, in 2016, my path took a new turn as I ventured into teaching English online, which opened up another world to me, specifically Japan.
The Japanese culture is one that I probably would never have been exposed to, since it's a country located so far from my own. Thanks to SkimaTalk, I have had the privilege of discussing Japan's rich customs, traditions, and the beauty of its nature with many, many Japanese students. I have also come to see clearly how teaching is not a one-way street; rather, it is an exchange of knowledge that can have an impact on both the teacher and the learner.
As for my teaching style: I have a strong belief in a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for the learning process to be effective. So, I strive to create fun and relaxed sessions. To improve students' speaking ability, I always keep short news topics and short videos on-hand to give our free conversations direction. These articles/videos are specifically short to give you more opportunity to speak during the sessions, rather than just read/listen. Finally, in whatever aspect you are working on, I always offer abundant feedback to help you progress effectively.
I look forward to learning something new from you too, and I hope to meet you online soon.
Teaching Specialty:
I send topic suggestions before the session that you can choose from. However free conversation is also perfectly fine with me! Whatever you have in mind is great.
Case studies with advanced students are surely one of my favorite lessons to have! It's good to have students practising to express their ideas on tougher business matters.
Regarding feedback, I will first find out your preference. So, if you want to talk freely during the session, I will take notes and then I will send detailed feedback for you to review your session in your own time. Or, you can choose immediate correction while we are talking.
