About Me
italki teacher since Sep 27, 2021InterestsHistoryPets & AnimalsTravel
I'm a native English speaker from the North East of England, I'm UK based and have four years experience teaching ESL. My main experience has been with younger learners, starting with the alphabet, key vocabulary then sentence structure. I am also a MA student with a degree in Business Management and have experience teaching conversational English and helping refine and perfect sentence structure, grammar and pronunciation. For the last two years I have been teaching English exclusively online so I am comfortable and confident in the quality of lessons I can provide and have a breadth of resources to help support your English language journey.Me as a Teacher
I like to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable and safe. I like to have fun in my lessons and encourage students to bring in their own ideas and discussions as well as design and centre lessons around students interests and hobbies, that way the lesson content is more usable and applicable to every day life. I'm very laid back and use positive reinforcement rather than repetition and drilling but we will consistently revisit previous vocabulary so that everything is committed to long term memory. My lessons & teaching style
I like to keep my lessons fun and interesting so that students look forward to their English classes. I don't like to spend too long on one topic so lessons are broken down into smaller, easier to digest areas this also means we can cover a lot of areas from phonics, sentences, reading, comprehension and pronunciation all in one class. I like to set achievable goals each lesson so that students can track their progress and see how well they are doing. I also like to play games that aid with learning and development and have additional reward systems too. I focus a lot on positive reinforcement and I want students to know that it is okay to make mistakes as that is how we all learn.My teaching material

Work Experience
2019 - 2021
ESL TeacherFor the past two years I have been teaching students based in China English via an online platform. For students, learning online can be a very different experience compared to in class learning and they may feel distracted or struggle to engage. During my time teaching online I have developed skills and a teaching style that helps keep students focused, engaged and help them get the most from their lessons.

ESL TeacherI Can Read is an English language centre focused on providing supplementary English classes to young learners outside of school hours. Whilst working for I Can Read I developed lesson structures and routines that help young or new learners with their expectations and creating a safe environment for their learning and growth. I focused heavily on phonics and decoding and the main aim of the curriculum was to guide students with their reading and pronunciation alongside learning new vocabulary.
2017 - 2018
TeacherAt CIK I taught the Junior Kindergarten (JK) class of Vietnamese students. I taught lessons in maths, science, art, STEM activities as well as PE and English. I was their full time teacher and responsible for their health, safety, well being and happiness and supervised throughout break, lunch and nap time. I also taught the nursery class twice a day where we focused on learning the alphabet and key words then reinforced this learning in the afternoon with an art and craft session.
