About Me
italki teacher since Nov 18, 2016Interest topicReadingFoodHistoryBusiness & FinanceTravel
Hello! I'm James, a friendly and patient TEFL qualified teacher from Scotland, in the UK. I have over 7 years experience teaching online and in classrooms in Spain and Vietnam. I currently live in the Spanish countryside. I'm also a writer and musician and have travelled to many different places, all over the world. I'm very interested in other cultures and always find it fascinating to talk to students on Italki. We will never lack something to discuss!Me as a Teacher
I can help you become fluent and confident in conversation, prepare for an IELTS exam or job interview, write a CV and learn Business English. I also offer proofreading services.
I have years of experience online and in schools teaching IELTS preparation and Cambridge exams. If you are preparing for an exam, I can help you. We will practice all parts of the exam and learn important techniques for achieving the best results.
If there's anything else you need help with, send me a message!My lessons & teaching style
I believe in the immersive learning. In our lessons I will give you the maximum possible amount of opportunities to speak English, having interesting and fun conversations while learning new vocabulary and grammar.
I will adapt our classes to your needs. I often use clips from BBC Radio programmes, which allow you to practice listening to native speakers and discuss a wide range of topics. I also have grammar material to help you learn the more technical parts of the language. During the lesson, I will send corrections and examples, so that you have them to practice after the lesson.
Whatever your aims, I will build our lessons around them.My teaching material

James is polite, high quality business teacher. Our lesson was exciting and interesting. He could figure out in my issue and he started to help me to prepare for job interview at the first lesson. I really liked him. I will continue study with James!
