Hello everyone!
My name is Ike, and I'm from Maryland, United States. I have a 120-Hour TEFL/TESOL certificate with GoTEFL.
I enjoy practicing and watching Martial Arts, listening to video game soundtracks or Smooth Jazz, and learning about other cultures.
I currently live in Thailand and am here to follow my dream of living abroad and share an opportunity with others to learn English. I have studied Japanese in school and self-taught in Spanish, both at a conversational level, with a little Thai as well; so I understand how intimidating and frustrating it can be to learn a new language. However, with me you will find ease in learning confidently how to speak, read, and even write.
I like to not only cater to the student, but also give structure to their learning. I want the student to be able to practically use what they're learning in simple exercises such as: creating an introduction, expressing thoughts and feelings, associating images with vocabulary or actions, listening practice, etc.
Like you, I am also learning, but as a teacher/tutor, I understand the beginning may be difficult, but I promise that with time and effort we can succeed in our goals. So don't feel afraid to make mistakes; that is a part of life, so feel free to express yourself to me.
If this fits what you are looking for, even if all you want is just to practice conversation, I invite you to come along on this journey with me.
See you soon!
By practically using it with foreigners. Practice what you learn in school with foreigners; don't be shy, come up to us and speak to us! Also meet Native Speakers like me who would like to help you with conversation or anything, so that you can progress.
It can be easy as long as you have things you love about the cultures connected to it. For example, the American, British, or Australian accents, the music, slang, etc. I am a firm believer that in order to do well in learning anything, you have to love things about it to help create that connection.
