Hi. I am brand new on iTalki, so I am just familiarising myself with the platform, as you may be, so don't be afraid to approach me! I may not have experience on iTalki yet, but I have the training and expertise to be a brilliant teacher, so let's get going. 

This is a very informal, relaxed session in which we will get to know each other and I will find out how I can best guide you towards where you need to be. I will make notes on your English usage, finding strengths and weaknesses in your use of grammar, vocabulary and punctuation.  I will get to know what you are interested in learning about, your preferred learning methods and your experience of learning English so far. This will help us a lot when we decide how to approach our journey together and how best to go forward in each lesson.

Together, we will decide if I am the teacher for you and we will make a plan for upcoming lessons. We will schedule when to meet and what we will cover in the sessions to come. I am the teacher and it is my job to guide you, but I like my teaching to be very student-centred. If you are able to, I am more than happy for you to have a significant input in taking the lead in your own language learning. A happy student makes a happy teacher!

Other than this, we will just have a friendly chat to see if I will be the teacher who will help you excel on your English journey. I am confident that I will be!

Hey!
Let´s get to know each other.
I´d love to get a better idea of who you are and your English level.
It´ll be a pleasure to teach you!

Let's get to know each other and set some goals! Why are you learning English? Tell me a bit about yourself and I can help you find the right class for you. This class consists of conversation as I learn about your goals and see if my classes are a good fit. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

In this lesson we will have a conversation and find out about each other. I  would love to know what you are like, what you like to do and what your goals are with your English learning. I am sure you would like to know more about me and what kind of teacher I am.

So lets talk and see how we can work together to improve your English and have a little fun as well.

This will be our chance to meet each other and discuss your learning goals and create a plan of action for future lessons.

A short lesson to see if you like my style :). We will talk about you and your language needs and see if I am the right teacher for you. See you soon!

The trial lesson is where there is an opportunity for the student to have an experience of what a lesson with me is like. It mainly starts with open conversations that allow me to learn about my student and also make an assessment of how best can help them make improvements. I like to ask the student what goals or targets they may have and also get to have a picture of what weaknesses or strengths they believe they have in English.
During the trial lesson I make observations and give feedback to the student with regards to grammar usage, Pronunciation, listening, and vocabulary. In the last 10 to 15 minutes I like to give an exercise to my student that also helps them assess themselves and know their level of Proficiency.
The trial lesson sets the foundation and the pace for my future lessons with the student.

A short lesson in which we discuss methods, materials, and what you are looking for in your English lessons. This is also when we can determine your level and which course is right for you.
