Hi everyone! I am multilingual (Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish speaking) and have always loved learning and teaching foreign languages. I have taught lessons to adults of all levels and nationalities for over 20 years, teaching overseas as well as in Australia at various English language schools. I have a TESOL Postgraduate Certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), a LOTE Spanish Language Teaching Certificate (Languages Other Than English) and a Bachelor of Arts / Languages (Japanese and Spanish). I also have a passion for traveling and love meeting new people from other cultures! In my free time I enjoy yoga, movies, going to the beach and exploring nature.
Ich als Lehrkraft
After graduating from university I taught English in Japan for one year, as well as in Spain and Brazil.
Since I've studied foreign languages and taught students from all over the world, I truly understand the challenges students face as I have been in your situation as a language learner myself! I am very friendly, calm and patient as a teacher. Learning and teaching languages is my biggest passion and I love helping my students achieve their English learning goals whether you need English for travel purposes, for work, or to be able to connect with friends or family from other parts of the world. Coming from Australia, I have a neutral accent and students tell me I am easy to understand.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are fun and conversational. Our main goal is to build your confidence so that you can communicate more comfortably in any situation. Using a variety of teaching methods I can teach all skills including speaking, pronunciation, grammar, listening, reading, writing and vocabulary. I believe it's important to also include natural everyday expressions in our lessons such as idioms or phrasal verbs to help you speak English in the most natural way possible! I enjoy discovering your interests and I then provide engaging lessons focused on communication, including a variety of topics and skills depending on your own individual needs and goals. Sharing cultural experiences is always fun!
I highly recommend Fiona as an italki English teacher. She is extremely patient and creates a comfortable learning environment that makes it easy to communicate and ask questions. Fiona consistently tailors her lessons to match my learning pace and interests, which keeps me engaged and motivated. Her teaching style is clear and encouraging, which has significantly boosted my confidence when speaking English. She provides useful feedback about my language structure and makes it easy for me to practice speaking on many different topics. Thanks to her guidance and support, I've made great progress in my English skills. If you're looking for a helpful and skilled English teacher, Fiona is the perfect choice!
