About Me
italki teacher since Aug 12, 2018Interest topicReadingScienceMedical & Healthcare
Hi, I'm Jenny. I'm from the north of England and I live in Spain. I love being outdoors and spend most of my free time running, walking, cycle touring, camping and birdwatching. I also enjoy football - both watching and playing - and have a season ticket at Real Zaragoza. I have travelled extensively in Europe and South America and relish the challenge of living in different countries. I speak Spanish and have a passion for language; I am fascinated by words, sounds and the peculiarities that exist in different languages. I'm outgoing, personable and work really hard to be the best I can be.Me as a Teacher
I am a qualified English teacher with over eight years’ experience. I have a CELTA qualification from the UK and have also undertaken extensive professional development in a number of areas including exam preparation, presentations and business English. I have also trained other teachers and have experience of academic research.
If you already have an intermediate level of English and want to push yourself to improve further, I’m the teacher for you. Whether it's preparing for an exam (e.g. Cambridge or IELTS), working towards fluency, preparing for a big presentation or just practicing your conversational skills, I look forward to meeting you soon.My lessons & teaching style
I teach primarily through self-correction, so I'll guide you through the process of fixing your own errors. This means you'll work really hard in the classes but you'll improve quickly and see results in a short space of time. I am very student-focused, and we'll develop an action plan together for the period of time you intend to have classes for. I'll ask you to look at articles, videos, written work, etc. for homework and in the classes themselves you're going to do a lot of speaking! The aim is that you’ll primarily practice reading, writing and listening skills outside the lessons and then bring any questions you have to the class, allowing us to optimise the time we have together.My teaching material
