About Me
italki teacher since Dec 25, 2014Interest topicMusicReadingScience
My name is Andrew Wood, and I am from Manchester, England. I have been a professional English teacher in private schools and various other places in different countries for 12 years. I am currently resident in Bari, Italy, where I work as a teacher and official Cambridge examiner, being a qualified Cambridge English speaking examiner for the A2, B1, B2 and C1 exams. I am passionate about languages and classical guitar.Me as a Teacher
I love doing this job because I like helping others to achieve their goals. I always put 100% into my work and there is no greater gratification than when students pass their exams. I have worked with all ages and all types of English in a wide variety of environments, from standard classrooms, to summer camps, to teaching judges in a court. I am an expert in the Cambridge exams of all levels, and IELTS.My lessons & teaching style
I want my students to get the most out of my lessons. I like to introduce humour in my lessons, as I feel students learn more when they are having fun and enjoying themselves. In conversation classes, all mistakes are corrected and also explained grammatically exactly why it is a mistake. In my opinion fun and learning go together so that is always what I try to achieve.Certificates
