Hello! My name’s Morag and I am a native English speaker from the UK. I have the CELTA certificate and am also TESOL qualified. I have taught students at all different levels of English. I have 18 years’ experience both in the classroom and online. I love to meet people from different countries and cultures. I like talking about literature, arts, society and travel as well as other topics. I am friendly and have a relaxed lesson style which will help you feel less nervous so that you can improve your English skills.
Me as a Teacher
I like to get to know my students as this helps me tailor the lesson to the student’s interests and needs. My lessons are designed to help you become more fluent. A focus on pronunciation will help you to sound natural and I have a standard neutral British accent. My lesson style is relaxed and you will feel more confident when speaking and I aim to let students speak as much as possible. I will correct grammar and pronunciation mistakes at the end of the lesson so that you can focus on these areas in order to progress. * Unfortunately I don’t teach under 16s because I cannot devote the time to this that it requires
My lessons & teaching style
First of all, I will assess your level so that I know where you need to improve. I prepare each lesson in advance and use a variety of materials to help you learn. We would go at your pace and focus on your difficulties with English. We can discuss topics that interest you and in so doing you will learn idiomatic expressions and also vocabulary used by people who speak English fluently. Role-play is also useful and if you like we can act out situations such as job interviews, travelling, or eating out etc. If there are certain areas you would like to work on, please let me know.

Morag corrected my presentation scripts in detail. It's really great. I have more confidence to present it when I need. Thanks for your hard work, Morag.

I'd like to express my gratitude to Morag. I can tell that she put in a lot of effort before our lesson. Lesson materials are tailored to prepare my government exam. We studied government documents and she taught me how to write better to get the job.
There might be a lot of teachers on italki, but Morag is definitely the best teacher I have ever met. Thank you, Morag!

I didn't get any speaking practice or corrections, although I noticed a lot of my mistakes. That was my main request, lots of speaking and corrections, all I did was listen.
They don't know how to send files even though they have been on this platform for a long time, I couldn't get the promised homework.
Waste of time and money.
