About Me
italki teacher since Aug 22, 2013Interest topicReadingScienceHistoryMedical & Healthcare
I'm English, live in England, and teach English in Cambridge and online. I used to teach science, but retired.
Travelling is something I do quite a lot of these days. And learning new things: I learnt to fly a plane, I'm having a go at painting and drawing, and I'm reading a lot of history books.
My other hobby is English grammar. I really like grammar! There is always more to learn!Me as a Teacher
Here in England I've taught in both primary and secondary schools, and now I teach online.
I was a biology and chemistry teacher. But I retired!
Started teaching ENGLISH in 2010. I've been on italki since 2013.
Some of my students have been with me for many years now (one has been a student for 8 years!). But I have students that only need a lesson or two on a particular topic.
My youngest student is 5 years old. My oldest is the same age as me (OLD!!!!).My lessons & teaching style
Conversation classes: we can DISCUSS the grammar and vocabulary as we talk!
If you prefer, we can work from a COURSE BOOK. This is methodical, and works well too!
For the CHILDREN there are games and songs, quizzes and rhymes. We have great fun! (Well, I do!) And I hope the adults want to do some games and quizzes too.
I'm happy to set the work and the pace, but I'm happy for the student to take charge too!My teaching material

Moira works on my pronunciation like a sculptress: "speak quicker", "slower", "harder", "softer", "in the rhythm", "forget the rhythm", "pronounce everything", "contract the most you can....". In between, little grammar and vocabulary breaks. Fascinating and fun, I love it! I hope I will one day speak with an RP accent. Thank you Moira!
