Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 11. Mar 2022
Hi! My name is Ellen and I'm a native English speaker from Ireland. I currently live in Ireland's capital, Dublin, and have a neutral Irish accent.
I'm an avid language learner myself and have been learning Mandarin Chinese since 2014. I've also dabbled in learning other languages over the years. I've had many in-person and online teachers over the years, so understand the importance of engaging class material that also allows you to communicate naturally with native speakers of your target language.
I'm an avid writer and currently volunteer my writing and creative skills to a bilingual Chinese-English magazine. Previously, I worked in the legal field here in Ireland.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've been learning foreign languages both on my own and with teachers for a number of years, as well as writing engaging material for learners that includes daily used words, in the context of the world.
I'm a patient, cheerful teacher who is focused on helping you reach your language goals with English. My class will be a safe place for you to make mistakes and grow as a learner. All mistakes are stepping stones on your way to fluency and accuracy!
I'm most comfortable teaching those who have basic English, from A1 level upwards. However, I currently don't accept students under 16 years old.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Lessons will be up to what you, the student, want to get out of learning English! What do you want to improve? What do you want to learn? What's driving you to learn English?
Lessons will focus on all four basics, speaking, reading, writing and listening, and will be set to match which area you want to improve. We can take our time and help you find the words you need, improve and expand your vocabulary, and get a better understanding for English grammar.
Homework is optional, but available to be set. We can follow any books/materials you're using, or set up classes based on what your focus is. The only thing I can't do is help you get an American/British accent!
