- New English Conversational Tutor looking to coach children ages 5-12
I am an English Conversational Tutor/Coach new to Italki. I work with children ages 5-12. I coach through fun. I prefer to refer to myself as a coach rather than tutor because I work through encouragement and building ability around their strengths and interests. My monkey puppet Jengo joins me to help create a relaxed atmosphere, and can also act as an additional English speaker to broaden conversational skills. Children will learn through stories, video, songs, and games. In the same manner that babies pick up their native language, the focus to my coaching is not on proper grammar, but rather word usage in context. Proper grammar corrections will either fall into place naturally, or be corrected through working with English rule implementation later on in the learning process. If you know of a child that would benefit from conversational coaching, please send them to my Italki page at:

I look forward to meeting any new students!
October 16, 201602 - I don't think it is weird, and only a problem if you feel that it is holding you back in some way. However, for myself personally, I have made large efforts to let go of a good amount of my perfectionism because I felt like it was too self defeating because there really is no such thing as "perfect." I was looking too hard to make things as close to perfect as I could, that I wasn't appreciating the imperfections in all areas of my life that really are, in my opinion, what gives the world and, all we know in it, its color, uniquity and balance. That and acceptance that quite often it is in the imperfections, that we find what is closest to perfection.0 votedOctober 13, 20160
My dream house
I always dream with one house very big. My dream house would have three plants and one garden very big.
On the first one I would have the kitchen and a big living room. If I have a car I would have one garage.
On the second plant I would have three rooms. One for my and the other rooms for my sons.
In my room I would have one beedroom very big, and one TV. I would also have one toilet with one big path.
On the third plant I would have one room with bookshelves, one TV, one computer and one laboratory.
In the garden I would have one cottage and one grill.MY CORRECTION IS BELOW:
I always dream of one very big house. My dream house would have three parts (not, plants) and one very big garden. In the first one, I would have the kitchen and a big living room. In the second part, I would have three rooms. One for myself, and the other rooms for my sons. In my room I would have one very big bedroom with one TV. I would also have one toilet with one big bath (not path). On the third part, I would have one room with bookshelves, one TV, one computer and one laboratory. If I have a car I would have one garage. In the garden I would have one cottage and one grill.
MY COMMENTS:
*** I moved your sentence about having a garage to the end of the description. It is better when making a list, as you have done with your three parts of your house, to write descriptions about these specific parts, and then include other important details following these descriptions. Notice that I included it towards the end, along with your description of your garden. This makes it easier for the reader to understand.
I also highlighted words that were misused.
I was not sure if when you mentioned a big bath, if you were referring to a bath tub, as in a place to bathe? If you were referring to a room that would have a toilet, then the room itself would either be called a bathroom, or lavatory.
I was unsure where you described your third part, you mentioned wanting a laboratory. I did not understand if you meant a laboratory to do science projects, or a lavatory (with a toilet). The two words look and sound very close, but have two very different meanings.
0 votedSeptember 26, 20160Soleiman, thank you for the language partner request that you sent. However, I am unable to accept it. I am attending college, and work a couple of jobs, as well as looking to tutor children on italki for some additional income. I do not have much extra time. I wanted to thank you for the request, and did not intend to be insulting by not accepting it. Best of luck to you. I have no doubt that you will learn and be successful.

It is like that here in many ways as well. As it is in many other countries too. Students pay so much for their education, and it takes them so long to pay off what they owe. They are working to pay for their education. But they are using their education to perform their jobs. So, the country progresses in many areas. But independently, so many people suffer because they can't pay their bills. It is a problem without a clear answer. I guess it is a matter of personal priority. I am a big believer in the importance of knowledge and science. I have also found that I've had goals, and life's situations have altered some of these goals. But with every change also brings new opportunity. This probably doesn't help you much, but good luck deciding on the correct path for yourself.
