Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 5. Aug 2019
I trained to teach English as a Foreign Language at Sheffield University after working for many years in the City of London. I have taught English to university students, primary and secondary school pupils and as a volunteer at a church community centre for the local immigrant community. I have lived and studied abroad in Hong Kong and Germany. I studied French Language and Culture at Sheffield University. I have travelled all over the world and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I encourage my students to practice using English in conversation to develop confidence. I train students to pass IELTS exams. I have supported students taking A Level English at school and advanced courses in various subjects at University to understand the requirements of their course and gain confidence in expressing complex ideas in English. I use books, videos, newspapers, radio and television programmes as well as text books.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons start with assessing the student's requirements and level of English. My style is informal and relaxed. Together we can work out what a student needs to learn to achieve their objectives at work, for travel or study. I work with the student to identify any aspects that are causing difficulty and overcome these. My students all tell me that they can understand me easily because I speak clearly without a regional accent.
Helen’s lesson is always fun and relaxing. Today we talked about why British people like to talk about weather and how to interact with people. She explained every concept that I don’t understand and also recommended an interesting book and a fascinating show to me.
