Me as a Teacher
I'm a lively and passionate teacher with 10 years experience. I have had the privilege of teaching all over the world and have lived and worked in 8 different countries including China, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Austria and Italy.
My lessons & teaching style
If you want to prepare for your IELTS test, I can help you achieve the band score you need. In IELTS practice lessons we will focus on your individual goals, and tailor the lessons accordingto the band score you need. For example, in order to get band score 7, you will need to paraphrase effectively, use connectives, and have a wide variety of idiomatic language. I will help you to improve these skills. I also offer lessons in writing for IELTS which will teach you how to plan and write an effective essay.

Mr Edwards helped me to improve my speaking skills. After almost one year of lessons I'm absolutely satisfied. I got more fluent, enriched my vocabulary and learned new idioms. Mr Edwards also helped me to practice for my job interviews. Highly recommended!

It was my first time on italki and I'm really glad that Steve was the first one I could talk to. The class was fun, well-organized, and he let me comfortable and helped to get my ducks in a row. Highly recommended!

The teacher is a little serious, smile is few, and the affinity needs to be improved. But the content of the course is good, and it can use different ways and means to make students understand the meaning. The voice is pretty good, too.

我想让很多中国学生认识这个老师,他很专业,而且很会引导学生。我以前觉得口语是一个很难的事情,今天才觉得这个事情如此简单。在一开始,他就告诉我,雅思口语就像是和朋友在咖啡馆聊天,实事确实如此。
we were talking about the sandman who i thought to be the dustman, that was quite funny

It is a great experience to have lesson with Steve! I learn lots of idioms and how to use them. The most important thing that I learned is how to use language in different ways! And my confidence during the period has been boosted. It is nice to meet u Steve!
